They called and left a message saying that was suspicious activity on my card. This is untrue because I have a text monitor that sends me a text every time my account is used, and it has not gone off without my doing. Also I am a hawk with how I spend my money.

The big red flag that this is a FAKE COMPANY is that my Credit Union changed it's name over a year ago and they used the old name in the message. For the kicker, my mother-in-law works there and she is authorized to get flagged whenever something is wrong and she was not flagged for this.

Be careful people; don't give your information to this company. There are too many things wrong.

Definitely LEGIT! I just got off the phone with them. They are most definitely a fraud support number for credit unions. They only verified the last four digits of my social and then were able to tell me that there was a charge on my debit in Mexico (I'm definitely no there!). They immediately put a hold on my card and directly transfered me to BECU (my credit union) to work on getting a new card. The agent with BECU verified that my account had been put on hold and no transactions would go through. I have a new card on the way.

Definitely real and VERY helpful!

Got a call from a rep. Who left a message with my first name. I called my number on my card which confirmed that this call was legit. They called in regards to suspicious activity. From there, I called the rep. Who left a message and asked for the last 4 digits of my social and then asked me if I had made certain suspicious purchases. I said no way.  And, my card had been permanently frozen.

Because of the suspicious activity, the fraud center prevented me going into debt bc of identity theft.

Part of a fraud campaign targeting numerous financial institutions.  Note the pattern of shill postings all claiming the number is real - an obvious giveaway.

The large number of phony posts claiming the call is real come from some con artists spamming the site to try to fool people.  There is a similar pattern to other fake calls claiming to be from Chase, Citibank, Bank of America, US Bank, Wells Fargo, RBC, PayPal, etc. all with the same shill postings:

I went on line to Falcon and it was NOT their number! I called the  number, phone rang and rand...no auto voice mail, and finally a young female put me on hold...but then I was hung up on. Tried back and the number was busy??? Not a sign that this is a major company.  I would venture to say anyone here who claims it is a legit number for Falcon is mis-leading you. Go to their site and check for your self. I think it is fraud. V

Received a voicemail from this number, saying they were calling [my name] on behalf of [name of my credit union] regarding questionable charges on my ATM debit card, requesting a callback, and leaving a case number. I googled the number and found reports on this site and whocallsme, and called my credit union directly. The credit union confirmed that it was a legitimate call from a fraud protection management service they use for their members, and transferred me to them. I was asked for my case number and the last four digits of my debit card, and the rep went over two recent charges on my card - one of them legit (gas I purchased at my local station over the weekend) and one of them fraudulent (less than $3 from a suit store in Kentucky - I live in Oregon). The rep advised me to call my credit union back to cancel the card, which I did.

What I found most interesting is how fast they called me. My credit union said the fraudulent charge came through at 11:48 AM Pacific time, and I received the call from this number at 11:52 AM.

I guess my advice is to be skeptical, and verify with your financial institution when you get a call like this.

This number called me to notify me of suspicious activity on my Visa card.  Wary of the unfamiliar number, I called my credit union (a number I trusted to be them!).  They verified the number as their fraud detection unit, or something of that sort.  My credit union did verify that someone had tried to use my card number at a WalMart in South Carolina (I live in PNW) for a purchase of $150.  The purchase was denied, and I am being issued a new card.

I can only say that this number was legitimate for me.  Hope this helps.

This is a legitimate company hired by credit union, they confirm transactions, dont ask for any personal information, they ask you about specific transaction amounts. Someone charged hotel bill in florida, Im from California. Verufy its safe

It's a fraud folks, and the above is another fake report from one of the fraudsters.

They called my office, and since it was an (888) number I didn't answer it (damn telemarketers). They left a message, and as I googled the number, and as I was listening to the voice mail, they called my cell phone. I answered that one. Both numbers are listed on my account. They just called me because I made two substantial purchases on my PSCU debit card. I appreciate the call, definitely, but I asked her how long they've been doing this for PSCU, and she said a year. I've made a number of purchases with this card in the last few months, and this is the first one. I wonder why they didn't call before?

However, just because they called me with a legitimate concern, doesn't mean that a true scammer couldn't spoof their phone number and use it to scam you.

No, she didn't ask for any of my information, just wanted to know if I had just used my card for a couple of web purchases. She mentioned the merchant, and the amount, and I approved both. No personal info was needed from me. If the called asks for any, hang up and call you CU.

This is a legitimate company.  I have a credit union account.  Falcon Fraud called me this morning to ask if I had some charges on my debit card that were made today, which I had not.  They immediately contacted my credit union for me (which I verified with my credit union minutes later) and cancelled the card.  If they had not contacted me I would not have known my debit card had been compromised.  The only info they asked to verify were the last 4 digits of my social and my address for security purposes.  

This company's phone number, 888-241-2440, is used by Boeing Employees Credit Union (BECU) for their debit cards. I just hung up with the company. They called because there have just been over 100 attempted fraudulent charges to my debit card, via the internet, which has taken my account from over $2000 to minus $997!!! Thank goodness I received this call because otherwise I would not have known about the fraud charges. BECU uses this security company for their debit cards and another security company, 888-918-7313, for their credit cards.

Received phone call from this number, called it back and a live person from T-Mobile answered. I do have my cell plan through them so it makes sense.

This is a legitimate number. I had made large back-to-back purchases online within a short time frame and I received a call from this number wanting to verify the purchases. They didn't ask me to verify any personal information, just my name, but they did ask me to verify the orders (PayPal and to what online store).

Actually, it is legit.  Here is the info from one particular credit union on why they use this agency, and what to expect when being contacted by them: https://www.industrialcu.org/2010/4/16/falcon ... -card-protector

Because many banks and credit unions have an outside party handling their fraud detection. https://www.industrialcu.org/2010/4/16/falcon ... -card-protector

This is legit.  I received a message from them about suspicious activity on my credit union debit card.  I called them back and they informed me about a suspicious charge on my card that I hadn't placed.  I verified it wasn't my charge and so they placed a hold on my card to ensure nothing else suspicious goes through and told me to contact my credit union for a replacement.  I looked them up on my credit union website to ensure they are, indeed, contracted with my credit union to monitor for fraudulent activity.  Here is the info from my credit union, showing that they are legitimately associated with my credit union: https://www.industrialcu.org/2010/4/16/falcon ... -card-protector

If you are unsure if they are associated with your credit union or bank, look up the search term "fraud" on your credit union/bank's website to see if they list who they have handling their fraud monitoring.  If you can't find it on your bank/credit union's website, give your bank/credit union a call to see who handles their fraud monitoring and what the company's phone number is.  People think this is a scam because it's a third-party company that is doing the monitoring, but you can verify with your bank/credit union before proceeding to make sure it's legit for yourself.

I received a call from the number above. It is a scam, and not from the bank at all. I called my bank and reported the information the person left on my answering machine. Be careful-so many thief's out there.

Got a call from this number this afternoon. I see the posts about it being a legit company called Falcon Fraud and they ask for information confirming a purchase on your debit/credit card for "fraud" protection from your bank. Seeing as I have neither a debit card OR credit card OR a bank account I believe this to be a SCAM and they are trying to get your private information. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION. Call your bank before giving out ANY of your info.
