Description

On January 24, 2023 at 7:54 pm eastern time I received a text message from 34938 stating I had a balance due to Fingerhut Fetti. I’ve attached the text message. I do not have an account with them. I called Fingerhut customer service at 800-964-1975. I was asked for my name, I only gave them my last name. Then they asked for my social security number. I did not give it to them. Then they asked for the correct spelling of my first name in case they entered it wrong because they can’t find my account. When I told them I didn’t give them my first name the line went silent. I hung up.
