Credit Card Scam Call

Hey Joe! Great Job as always. :)

Just wanted to let you know that my husband got a call from a girl on phone # 410.749.6900 on his cell phone. She said she was from a credit card fraud company calling about fraudulent charges on our account (even though we have no credit cards). My husband asked why they were calling and she said they had seen outrageous charges on our account. He then asked who she was and with and she just kept talking. He ended up hanging up on her and calling the number back. Someone answered from Dominoes Pizza. When my husband explained what was happening, he said that someone has been tapping into their line and we weren't the first ones to call and tell them that someone was calling claiming to be a credit card fraud protection company from their number. He called and spoke to someone at the police department to let them know but I didn't know if you could post this on your site so others will know that this is a scam. Police said that we were the first to report it and they would be checking into it.

Spoofing someone's caller-ID is not too difficult a task. The call does not have to originate from a local number to display one.

The victims here are you and Domino's.

At least you didn't fall for it. :)

I'm not buying that someone is tapping into Domino's phone line in this digital age. I think someone at Dominos was covering for someone else's shady actions.

This Domino's location is off of Pemberton Drive. John Cropper is the manager on record and the address is that of the property owner, not the franchisee. Credit scammers often spoof caller ids to local businesses to cover their tracks. Why they picked a number that a lot of people would recognize is a pretty amateur move. But as always NEVER give credit card info over the phone. Credit card companies would never ask for your information over the phone for this reason. And i seriously doubt that the employees of Dominos are hatching a credit card scheme from inside the store using thier phone number.
