Subject: URGENT: Your Card Has Been Suspended Due To Recent Account Activity
Your Credit Card Ending in 0000
Dear (Cardholder's Name):
As part of our commitment to protecting the security of your account, we continuously monitor for possible fraudulent activity. We need to verify that you, or someone authorized to use your account, attempted the following transaction(s) on your account ending in 0000:
Merchant | Amount | Date | Time | Location |
TRIGGER | $440.01 | 09/26/2024 | 08:01 AM | MILWAUKEE, WI |
WALMART | $504.95 | 09/26/2024 | 10:02 AM | MILWAUKEE, WI |
WALMART | $104.95 | 09/26/2024 | 9:31 AM | MILWAUKEE, WI |
WALMART | $54.95 | 09/26/2024 | 09:01 AM | MILWAUKEE, WI |
WALMART | $304.95 | 09/26/2024 | 08:01 AM | MILWAUKEE, WI |
If the dollar amount if not identical to what you see on a transaction receipt, this may be due to a preauthorization that has not yet posted to your account.
The merchant location for internet transactions may be different than you expect as they are often cleared through a centralized billing location.
If you have already spoken with us about these transactions, then no further action is required.
Please click on one of the two statements below that best represent the transactions above:
All Transaction(s) Authorized
One or More Transaction(s) NOT Authorized
