Received a call saying I owe money on my capital one card but that card has been closed for over 6 months. Called back the number they gave me to verify and it rang through to a totally different business.

Type of a scam: Phishing

This is a phishing scam, apparently run by someone pretending to be Capital One, in an attempt to gain access to your account and clear out your funds. However, closer inspection reveals that Capitol One is actually involved themselves in this scam, and that the CEO himself has personally commissioned the scammer. Mr. Fairbanks ends up with most of the proceeds and gets plausible deniability because the actual scamming is done by someone who is officially not a part of the company.

How do I know this? Well, I reported the scam to [email protected], the address which their website says to send scam reports to. Of course, the mail was bounced back. Why? Because they really don't want to know about scams. Why not? Because they commissioned it. If they know about it, they're legally required to stop it. If they stop it, they stop making money from it. Need more proof?

I called the customer service phone number. There was no fraud department to reach. The rep I spoke to was very nonchalant after being informed about the scam. He didn't care. He refused to do anything about it, or transfer me or report it to anyone who could. That's when I realised, conclusively, that Capital One was actually behind it.

But, I didn't stop there. I contacted the CEO just to inform him what was going on. THAT Email bounced back, but not because his address was invalid. Because his address was flagged for having a poor reputation. That's right. The internet's inherent security measures prevented me from reaching the CEO of Capital One lest I might be scammed. And, there ya have it. Capital One literally commissions phishing scams that spoof their own company.

Now, fortunately I don't even have a Capital One account to clean out, and even if I did, I'm smart enough to see a phishing scam from a mile away, so I didn't lose any money. But people who hold CO accounts are probably not so smart and will likely lose all their money if targeted by this scam. And, of course, because CO is in on the scam, they won't make any effort to resolve it.
