Police alert of phone scan in the area

Detective Rob Sherwood
Media Relations Officer
Oswego Police Department
630-551-7320

Oswego Police have been notified of a phone scam that has resurfaced since first being identified in the area in January of this year that involves customers of several local banks.  Information was obtained from customers indicating they are receiving automated phone calls from Bank Security Departments asking them to call 909-885-3883 to activate their credit card.  When calling the number an automated voice directs you to provide your credit card number, expiration date, and personal identification number (PIN) using your touchtone pad.  You are then told your card has been successfully activated. This request for information is in no way associated with local banks.

Anyone that has called the phone number and provided credit card information is encouraged to cancel their account immediately. 
Any fraudulent credit card activity discovered due to information provided in this scam should be reported to your local police department.
