Description
Our business received a phone call from a person claiming to represent Merchant Services, a credit card processing company who "handles over 350 wholesale processors" credit card processing. They claimed that we had been over billed for the last three months processing fees (at least), and requested that we send our August (most recent) credit card processing statement. She wanted us to email this information while she remained on the phone in order to give us a "Confirmation Number". She requested that we email it to "[email protected]" with the subject line "90 Day Review, Attn: Nancy". We gathered the contact information from this person, and she gave the name "Nancy Jones" with phone number "1-800-490-7479 Ext. 7035". A quick google search of the email address indicated that it has been associated with fraud. We did not provide any information to this company.
