Description
It would be a lot easier if I could just paste the phishing email here..... I received an email, to my work email, which my Capital One account does not have, flagging potentially fraudulent activity on my account. The fact that the email arrived at the wrong email for me flagged this. Then I realized the return address is in the Czech Republic.....so I contacted CapitalOne fraud control and they suggested I also report this email scam to you. I will copy FROM the email I received: "We’re reaching out because we’ve noticed some recent transactions on your Capital One® credit card that don’t match your usual spending pattern. If you recognize these purchases, please confirm that they’re valid so we can ensure uninterrupted access to your account. If you don’t recognize them, let us know right away so we can help protect your card from unauthorized use." Then there is a big blue box to click to Review Your Account. It continues: "If you recognize the transaction, no further action may be needed. If you do not, please report it immediately so we can take steps to safeguard your account. Payment history 9/9 account payments made on time To lenders, your history of on-time payments indicates whether you’ll make payments on time in the future. New accounts 0 new accounts To lenders, opening too many new accounts in a short window of time could point to credit problems.

The credit score provided in CreditWise is a FICO® Score 8 based on TransUnion® data. The FICO Score 8 gives you a good sense of your credit health, but it may not be the same score model used by your lender or creditor. The availability of the CreditWise tool and certain features in the tool depends on our ability to obtain your credit history from TransUnion and whether you have sufficient credit history to generate a FICO Score 8.
