8883973742

Appears to be a telemarketer that is spoofing Experian's phone number.

This number belongs to Experian a credit score reporting and identity theft protection company.  It has been spoofed by a scammer.  When I answered a call from them, a young man with a heavy Indian/Pakistani accent told me it was "Credit Card Services."  I hung up on him, checked out the phone number online and called it back.  This time I was told by a robo voice, that it was Experian and in order to direct my call to the proper department and to  best serve me I needed to give them my 9 digit social security number.  Great way for Experian to prevent identity theft.   Finally got the number for Experian's fraud division.  The young woman I spoke to confirmed that the 888 number was theirs and they always ask for social security numbers ---- Great way for them to prevent identity fraud.

Caller ID stated: 09/25/19, 3:02 PM, Experian, 888-397-3742. Didn't leave a message. Plus, there are 12 pages of information here to keep up safe. Thank you 800notes!

a call attempt was made just before noon today from this number (888) 397-3742, with Caller- ID "Experian." It was recognized as a scam number by my system and was blocked. When I've tried calling it back from a secured anonymous line, it goes right to rapid busy signal.

Call came in last evening on cell phone. Did not recognize nor answer. No message left and no caller ID. Checked this morning and it is a in-bound onlg number for Expedia and has years worth of complaints. Obviously a spoofed number.

This number was identified as spam risk so I blocked it. Apparently a spoofed number.

no information blocked number

I had a fraudulent purchase on my credit card. I radically the same day I got a call from (888) 397-3742. So I thought they were related and I gave them my social security number and all my other information. I do have a credit freeze on my account so I'm hoping that that will stop them from any further damage.

I received a "missed" call from 888-397-3742 this morning! I checked with 800notes and scrolled down to the most recent entries, and I found your strategy Mike C! I like how you think! I think I'll try it!

I received a "missed" call from 888-397-3742 this morning -- glad I checked w/ 800notes!

Okay lets get down and dirty now.... Okay I wanted to check my Experian Credit Report last night.
I was shocked to find on their site a entry from Well Fargo Credit Card... I HAVE NEVER EVER IN MY
WHOLE LIFE WANTED A WELL FARGO CREDIT, APPLIED FOR ONE, OR HAD ONE PERIOD.
So I called Well Fargo last night and this morning... both times I was given this 1-888-397-3742 number
They answer the call as Experian Fraud.. you can not get to a person... the first question out of their
mouths is you Social Security number...
I checked this number on line and found it been related to a Attorney, and numerous times to o
Credit card service who call everyone multiple times a day using spoof telephone numbers and
foreign accent speaking people. I recall seeing this number numerous times on my phone..
SO CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT DOES EXPERIAN HAVE TO DO WITH THIS
SCAM OPERATION... I HAVE EMAIL EXPERIAN REQUESTING IMMEDIATE RESPONSE....
NEXT STEP IS THE FBI

Experian has a website.  On that website is a detailed method for disputing credit report errors.  If you called Wells Fargo at a known, published number they should be able to tell you if a card was issued under your SS#.
