I think their phone system was hacked. I called my bank and immediately got an automatic message about winning a free Wlamart gift card...Then a lady with a foreign accent came on and told me I won a gift card and it would cost 3.95 for shipping the card...red flags went up, but I gave her my info anyway, thinking I had called my bank. I was then transferred to a man with a foreign accent who asked me for the same information, then he asked me to repeat it a couple of times..wanted me to repeat that I was being charged 3.95 and wanted me to repeat that I would contact Safe Data if I had any issues in getting the card. the number he gave me was 185*-444-****. The repetition was weird, and then when he got all of my info, he said "Have a good day" and I stopped him and asked him "Aren't you my bank?" Basically he said no that they were a promotional company or some *** and then he hung up..I immediately cancelled the debit card. I called my bank (Umpqua Bank) and told them about the breach. They said they weren't seeing a breach..I told them to check again.It might be their PBX phone system (Cisco) that got hacked..but I'm also wondering if hackers infiltrated my call on my end (cell phone--carrier is Virgin)

Here's a link about PBX hacking

I called my insurance company and some one told me there was a problem with the phones. I could receive a $100 gift card for my inconvenience.

Then they started in on the sales pitch for Safe Data Trust and Brand Name Saving Advantage. I thought I was dealing with my insurance company so I gave them my credit card number and information. At the end of the call the person said the phones were working and he would connect me with my party, but I was just disconnected.

I found out that I had misdialed the number for my insurance company and got Safe Data Trust by accident. I Cancelled my credit card.

This just happened to me. My bank is Umpqua Bank; I called them at 1-800-4UMPQUA and got the same scamโ€”free gift card, just need you debit card number, etc.

HOWEVER: Umpqua's actual number is 1-866-4UMPQUA.

It's natural to assume 1-800, but that number has been obtained by scammers, as a lady at the REAL Umpqua confirmed for me. Supposedly they're working on getting that number cancelled...
