Potential Fraud Opportunity -- Synchrony Bank
If I read this right, you used the URL from a statement, and the statement looks legitimate, right?
Basically, the URL and integrity of the statement is being questioned here…
So if a fraudster was able to recreate your statement, with account number, transactions, and all the correct data, then you’re already TOTALLY SCREWED. They have all the information they need for stealing your money and identity. There is no need for them to contact you or “phish” for your username and password. It would be stupid for them to do so.
This is why I think you’re okay. It sounds legit. Also it’s not uncommon for companies to change their security processes from time-to-time and ask for cell phone info again even if it’s already on file.
With all that said, NEVER EVER click on a strange or suspicious URL.
Btw, I’m a technology executive for a bank…so I do have expertise in this field.
