Caller identified herself as being from Discover Card. Problem is that I don't have and have never have had a Discover Card.
Thinking about it a long time and it must be that this is a devious gang of villains. If positive comments posted here are true and not from these same folks, then how do comments against them spring up at all? There can not be any fraud done upon my own card either! Therefore, be ye not deceived, for these furious calls are a pitch in the dark.

This was the first of two calls on my cell. I never give my cell out and only use my home number. I'm pretty sure it's a fraud attempt and I will not call them back. Discover has called me in the past, but on my home phone.
Called the number on the back of my card. My rep said this was indeed "phishing". Told not activity was present on my card, even though phone message said there was illegal or suspicious activity/ My Discover card rep said they were going to watch my card as a result of this, and said the phone number given was illegit. The whole thing is a scam to get you to confirm your card number, SSN, and zip code.
Automated message to call Discover Fraud. I called the number listed on the back of the card instead of the number provided in case it was social engineering. Verified it was Discover and proceeded with conversation.
This call was from Discover Card Fraud Prevention. They were very friendly and helpful when I called back. I called the toll free number on my card and they were able to confirm a call had been placed and then I was transferred to Fraud Prevention. I did suggest they leave a familiar number....you can't be too careful!!!
Automated message to call Discover Card Fraud Prevention Security Dept at 1-800-347-4996. They were verifying suspicious activity on my account. Friendly and pleasant representative. A+
This is Discover Card Fraud Prevention.
