877-989-3268

My son is in college and when his tuition payment didn't clear, I got his information to go online and check his accounts. I did a reverse look up of the phone number (877) 989-3268 and it lead me to this page. So far the totals are $2530 with 12 different transactions. Don't know if it is a coincidence, but this started happening the same day he ordered some of his books from Amazon online. Can't stand a thief!

i didnt get the call. i was looking to see what the charge was for. i sent money to my mom. its western union. well for me that is.

I didn't get a call, but checking my bank account online last night I saw a charge for $275 and the money was gone, out of my account. It said: CHECKCARD WU 877-989-3268 ON 03/21. I called the number listed and they claimed to be Western Union but the man I spoke to barely spoke english and said his name was Tony. That's it! He wouldn't tell me anything else, but kept asking for my debit card number. I refused to give it to him and eventually hung up on him and called my bank. They said, even though the money is out of my account, it's still processing and there's nothing they can do until it finishes processing. So I hung up from them and called the "real" number for Western Union.

They found the charge when I gave them my debit card number and said it has gone through and the receiver has their money. But they said there was no way for them to know where the transaction originated or where the money was picked up. That's when I told them I have never in my entire life have used Western Union. Then their whole tune changed. They wouldn't give me any more info and said I should go to the police if I feel this is fraud. I hung up and cut up my debit card while I called my bank back and told them to cancel my card.

The next morning I went to my bank and got a new card and they told me that as soon as the transaction finishes processing I can file a claim and get my money back, but it could take 5 days. I went home and was so angry that Western Union wouldn't give me any info, I called them back. After being transferred 4 times I finally ended up at their fraud department and they couldn't find any record of the transaction. Strange, because the night before they found it in a matter of seconds.  

So as soon as the transaction processes, and I get my money back, I'm filing a claim with my bank and then going straight to the police. I don't know what they can do, if anything, but I'm going anyway. And I'm also filing a complain against Western Union.

A day ago I got a call from 800-355-5265. I didn't answer. They left a message they were Chase Fraud and I should call them at some number I didn't keep. I researched the number above and it came up scam scam scam. I never called. Then I got an email from  "chase.fraud.prevention@info.chase" asking me to verify four transactions I had made recently. All the transactions were legit and I responded they were all good. Should have caught it right there but didn't. Continued to check account balances all day with nothing and figured it was all okay. It wasn't. Next day I get emails from chase (alerts) that my account was overdrawn. When I checked sure enough there was a debit card trans for $234 (POS DEBIT WU 877-989-3268 MO) which I never made. Card is in my wallet. Called real Chase Fraud and reported immediately. Charges were still pending on my on-line account. Card cancelled immediately by them and a temp credit was to be issued within 12 hours. We will see. What an idiot I am. Ashamed of myself. Advice I give: Never give info unless you are sure you have called a number on the Chase website. (The one you log into.)

I also got a charge on my card, but received no phone call!!  How are these people doing this???

No phone call but I did just notice a new pending charge autherization on my debit card from WU 877-989-3268 MO for $252. I called my bank and reported the fraud. They shut my card down so now it will be 5 to 7 days to get a new one but they will reverse the charge when it hits my account. Big hassle.

Just curious... This scam JUST happened to  my son who is in college in TX.  He banks with Wells Fargo, a name that I've seen in a few of your posts.  Has this happened to anyone that does NOT bank with Wells Fargo?

I joined the I got scammed club too-I just found a charge for $700 on my debit card statement and I never made it. i called my bank, got the account closed. I also called that 877 number and the woman-with a thick foreign accent-asked me for my bank card number-which I gave her because I already closed out the account. She would NOT tell me where the money was sent-she told me to call my bank and cancel the card, and to call police. They are a bunch of crooks. My bank will get a copy of this entire page of complaints to verify this scam. Thanks to all who wrote in.

someone just withdrew $700 from my checking account without my knowledge, so I called my bank and they provided me this number (877-989-3268) as the number of the company who charged my account.   As I was speaking to the representative from my bank, I searched the web and I found this site with many complains associated with this number...WTF!   Thank god everyone is reporting this.  I am sure my bank will easily figure out this is a fraud and put my money back.

I also got hit by the Western Union scam.  The gentleman who helped me out at my credit union branch this afternoon said this was the third one he'd personally dealt with just this month.

One thing people should watch out for-- a few weeks prior, the same scam artist had "refunded" a debit card transaction in the sum of $12.00 into my checking account.  I didn't think much about it at the time since it was a credit-- I'd assumed it was a partial refund from one of the many online purchases I'd made.  My online statement shows the same 877-989-3268 number listed with the transaction.

Bottom line: if you're going to use a debit card, you need to regularly track ALL account activity on your bank's website.  A credit to your account from an unrecognized source COULD be a scammer verifying your account-- and if they can "refund" a debit card purchase to your account, they can charge purchases too!

yes it is legitimate for western union. I made actual transaction thru them.

Actually, it seems to be a spoofed number, so no, it ISN'T Western Union.  Nice try, though.

Here I am just checking my online banking making sure my deposit made it in there and here is some fictitious charge for  $219.99 through Western Union with this phone number.  I have never even used them before.  Just pisses me off that some low life does this (steal my hard earned money) for a living.  My bank is giving me a new debit card and will credit my account but this just ticks me off.  I just really wish they could catch the jerk (s) that do this!

Yes, I bank with Fifth Third in Indiana. Just happened to me this morning. $97. Card is in my pocket, but I do use this card for online transactions.

I was scammed this morning out of $299.96.  I always have my card in my possession and nobody knows my PIN#.  I'm guessing it's a security breach at Wells Fargo or somehow my card was hacked via another online purchase.  I disputed the charges, but it takes up to 10 business days to clear.  If this happens to you, call your bank immediately and file a dispute claim.  People who do this [***] should be put in jail!!!!!

Same thing happened to us, over $200 taken with WU and the 877#.
Great advice from J to watch account activity...
We had a 70¢ refund into our account, then the charge.

I sent a money transfer to the wrong state for my sister. So I went into the customer service page and went to online chat how to fix the problem the answer I got was:

If you sent the money transfer from an agent location, you may return to the same location with proper ID and your receipt to change the information. You  also may call  customer care 1-800-325-6000 to request the change.

If the money transfer was sent online or by telephone, please call 1-877-989-3268 to make any corrections.

We’re sorry, but we can’t respond to change requests sent via chat. ;

; I did make my transfer online but this number was not on the customer service page so I looked it up and found this.  I used the 1 800 325 6000 number and that fixed everything just fine, even with an online transfer.  REALLY suspicious. Thanks guys. Also moving my money out of my checking account now .. just in case.

Yeah, my bank was first niagara and I was scammed as well.  It's not just Wells Fargo.

9-6-13  Received call from man with Indian accent saying he was from Microsoft Windows.  Wanted to update our computer, which he is doing.  We agreed to a $150 charge, today the charge with 877-989-3268 appeared on our bank account (online) as $361.  

We are going to the bank today to dispute the charge and change the account number.

Please investigate and send us a report by email.

Total scam! Just had $210 transaction show up on my card, called this 877 number and he asks for my CC number, I hung up, called Western Union and they have no record?? Bad stuff happening with this number!!
