Sent initial "BB&T fraud alert" text asking if I authorized a charge in Austin, TX. They then called & attempted to verify information. This number is one digit off from BB&T's normal customer service line. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SCAM AND THEY ARE VERY CONVINCING!

Was told that I wanna $100 gift card to Walmart
(800) 226-5228 - February 24th, 2018 7:12pm
Please understand that this is one digit off from a real number. This number is 800-266-5228 and the real number of the bank BB&T is 800-226-5228. This phone number is asking for personal information and could mislead customers. This could be a collection agency using a misleading number to get folks to pick up the phone or it could be another kind of scam.
(800) 226-5228 - February 24th, 2018 10:23pm
This number belongs to the automated service system belonging to BB&T and it should not be making any outbound calls. Some consumers seem to be confused and may have actually received calls from a lookalike number. Please verify carefully.
