Suspicious Activity

[burlapunderwear]

Nowadays it's better to be suspicious first about emails like that. I learned the hard way not long after I turned 18 and thought I was getting a pre-paid Visa card with funds from my bank account. They wiped it clean and the bank closed the account when I couldn't bring the balance to $0. Looking back on it now I feel like an idiot for falling for the scam, but I could have lost a lot more than $200 and could have been brought to court by the bank so it could have been worse.

Thank you FC for the quick response and resolution.! I see that my Cash out for this month is back in "Pending" status. I would like to say "Thank you" to all that responded and helped me with this Thread. We really have some good people on this site.!!

Good luck, I'm glad to hear it was a legitimate email and not someone looking for info. There are enough fake ones out there to suspect they are all fake.

I've had emails like that from my Paypal or my bank but I always call them or check the official website because a lot of the time you'll get a message on the website it's self when you log in.

I would advise to send out another support ticket about that email and see what they have to say about it i would take any action until then.  Good luck hope all works out fine

I received an email this morning that was very suspicious!! It said that I had suspicious activity on my account and that FC required some information via Fax. I did not send it yet and it seemed awful strange that it is on a Saturday where I don't think there are any Technical people in to answer my Tech Support ticket. I did send a support ticket and will wait for the answer prior to sending this information. I was just wondering, I have been with FC for over 3 years and never saw any request for information like this!! I was just wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this and may have an answer??

I'm sorry for causing any distress.  The email you received is legitimate.

I don't see any Telephone number that I can verify things like this. Is there a telephone number for FC that this can be verified??I really don't doubt that FC is really asking for this - it just seems to be awful strange since I have never seen it before!!There is just alot of scams out there and I had something happen to me in the past that was actually sent from someone that was internal to a company that I was dealing with that was attempting to scam account holders.

LOL even after admin said it IS real you still scoff ! HAHAHAHA

yep, that does not sound right.  I would not follow through w/their request.  I got my Facebook hacked once and had to reset my password.  I suggest a good anti-virus like a Norton or something.  I use Norton and have not had any problems since.  It can be an unsafe world on the web sometimes.

I would think that any email from FC like that would be a bit more detailed and explain what it is that is going on.  I think you are doing the right thing as I would be very suspicious as well.

I would not have responded nor given the information. I usually send every email I receive requesting information to my trash bin and never open them. I have been taken far too many times. Today scams show up everywhere you turn and it is sad. Sorry this you has given you such a headache.

I had to verify my account earlier this year. It was a quick and easy process.

I feel its always best to make certain who is contacting you.  I would have been suspicous too!  Glad it turned out to be legit!

You were fortunate to get past your problem.  You learned a valuable lesson as a result of it; always check your sources.  I received one of those e-mails from PayPal threatening to close my account, and I called them.  I was told by PayPal that, once you have an account with them, it never closes.  I also sent them a copy of the e-mail I received.

I generally do not open/respond to those types of email; you are right in that it does sound suspicious and glad you were able to catch.
