Is 800-225-5618 a scam or spam call?
Legit call from PNC Bank security
I purchased airline tickets from an overseas vendor.
PNC security had called from 800-225-5618. I didn't answer, but called my local branch first and they verified that it was a legit number. Then, I called 800-225-5618 back to the automated system to verify those purchases using my new credit card.
I'm happy they did so...looking out for me and them.
PS: Don't first answer calls from unknowns. Call back number to see if it is legit...as some scammers spoof legit phone numbers but can't receive a call back.
PSS: PNC Bank owns several banks...They use different names. So, although you will say, I don't have a PNC card, PNC security may be calling you about your different name credit card.
