18886762269 Scam or Suspicious BMO Calls

The number is legitimate and appears on BMO's website. You can find it by clicking "customer support" and then looking at the section called "account management unit". I also was suspicious at first but I confirmed it both on their website, and by calling a different BMO number and getting transferred. It turns out that my credit line was overdue.

I been getting email and now calls saying by something is wrong wit my account and when I call using bmo number from google the bank says it’s more likely a scam and there’s nothing wrong with my account

Telling me almost daily to contact them about a BMO account I don't have anything with BMO. What the. called the complaint line from the BMO account on line and then it turned 7pm and they are closed

Today I got a letter in the mail asking for a 700.00 payment on a card I don't have. The letter says contact their office to make a payment at 1-888-676-2269
Very alarming as the letter indicates I owe hundreds of thousands of dollars!!

I also got calls from this number and they said it was a payment to my business card that I had to make and that was false, this number is a scam, bmo doesn't do call the way these guys do it. My 5 cents call BMO and is there is an issue with your accounts they will let you know.

I am also getting calls from this number , although I don’t have any accounts with him

I’ve been getting calls from this number (“BMO”) for over 6 months, some weeks it’s 5 calls a day. I have never had a BMO account or ever interacted with the company, so they have no legitimate reason to be calling. I’m assuming this is definitely a fraudulent/scam call- don’t interact with it.

1-888-676-2269 This is the BMO bank phone number. Because I received it for two weeks almost every day from 2023 Apr 25, I thought was a fraud, I blocked this number but still have messages. So I called BMO Mastercard Center (the phone number you can find on the back of your own credit card). I dialed it. They told me this is a good number. Then I called back .they told me that I have to move my account to positive of my overdraft for at least two days, then can use it again) that's all. so, you can find the phone number on your bank card, and call them to verify the number make sure is safe first then call back. hope can help you.

I got the same automated BMO call from this number, 2023 Apr 29.

I got a very professional looking email from BMO that looks t

I am now getting these calls , I thought they could be legit as I have changed somethings there . But I know banks do not leave voice mails on important matters . So I checked here because the message is in French but from Ontario ? Banks only pretend to be interested in fighting fraud they would reather just yawn and pass on the costs to customers . Thats why no photo on your credit card and no need to use a password to spend money. I taught computers to seniors and a section on fraud . But the way the banks, creditcards RCMP and government is I just give up

It is actually a legit number. If you go on to the BMO website contact us page and scroll down to the bottom where it says Accounts Management Unit, the contact number will be listed as 1-888-676-2269. If you have a BMO credit card and you call the number given at the back of the card, you will be transferred to the AMU only and you can verify with them as well for the same. The funny thing is BMO never took proper action to properly get this number corrected so it doesn't come under scam calls and so many of BMO employees and branch doesn't even know the same.

This is true. I also was suspicious at first but I confirmed it on their website and by calling a different BMO number and getting transferred. It turns out that my credit line was overdue.

I just called BMO Fraud Department and they are aware of there Indian or Pakistanian speaking people that say they are from BMO. Do not give them any information and call the Fraud Department at BMO to report the day and time of your call to protect your account. Real BMO employees speak english or french fluently and you should not hear a foreing language in the background of their call.

I get phone calls from them also why would they do theses things for

I got phone calls from this number this week.I checked my account nothing wrong with it.

888-676-2269 is not a BMO number. BMO confirmed it is not a number belonging to them. No message was left. It is a suspicious scam call.

is the bmo bank number?.Sound so professional.Also on my cell.Please help me.

calling my house, my cell, my office, my parents.. it's out of control at every phone!

I'm getting texts from this number saying I am overdue on my credit card account!

My account is not overdue but it seems these people know the latest for digits of my credit card and the amount owing!

I never had texts like this and BMO doesn't usually contact me over my credit card!

You dont get system errors that persist from 2008. Give your head a shake and wake up,

This is a scam. They said they were with Amazon fraud protection and when I asked them to take me off their list they said “speak up you son of a b*tch”

I called them back. It really was BMO and they were letting me know I was behind on my payment.

this is not true and is a response from a scammer. it is not bmo.

Yes 18886762269 BMO Account Management this is a scam. A female asked my phone number and then wanted me to confirm my address name and date of birth

I receive these calls every few months. I don't have a BMO account, but do have their Mastercard. I talked to one of their tellers who verified the 886 number is not a BMO phone. Scam

I got called from this number this morning and it was a live person, not a robocall. This is not a system error from BMO, these are scammers.
She wanted to speak with my husband regarding a banking matter, and when I asked what the issue was she said she couldn’t disclose it to protect his privacy, but that he had to call this number. (We share an account. If it were actually BMO they would know that.)

These f-#$ers have been calling me for a month as well and I have no problem with my BMO accounts.

I got the call for teh past 3 days. From Nov 11th 2022. Annoying and scam call, cuz bmo verified the number and said its not theirs.

I have had 19 calls from this number in the past 3 days. This is very annoying. My spam detection has screened most of them but recently the calls are ringing through to my phone somehow. Thank you for starting this post to make people aware of this ongoing issue.

I just received a call from this number, on the caller ID it came up as "mastercard"...I didn't answer the call and let it go to voice-mail where it left a message regarding a "secure package"...so I tried to call it back but when I called it back it says it BMO bank.I hung up and immediately came online to search if it's a scam or not.

confirmed today this is BMO's number for their accounts department. It is not listed on their website because they want you to call their main phone line then they will transfer you to the accounts department.

this is not true and is a response from a scammer. it is not bmo. bmo knows all their own numbers.

I have the same problem, I've blocked this number but I keep getting calls and voicemails, they even call my office and leave a message sometimes, I called them back one time and a lady answered the phone but put me on hold for a while before I can ask her any questions, DO NOT give any kind of information even you name if you speak to them.

Got a call from 1 888 676 2269
Checked on the bank website and this number is no listed
Contacted the bank using their legitimate customer service number to check status of my account

I dont have a BMO account, so I knew it's a scam. However, I stopped in at a BMO, and the receptionist confirmed that phone number is not a BMO number

Receive call for this number today and showing BMO. Message regarding our account which we don't have any account with BMO so this is a scam.

Yes, it is a scam.

I have been receiving calls from this for bout 2 weeks. It is lays a recorded message but never leaves a message on the answering machine. Annoying to put mildly. Sick Nd tire of a**holes with nothing better to do that bother people.

Just had this happen although when I called BMO with the number on the back of the card the lady said “we just do random checks to make sure everyone is aware of their accounts”
They also asked me to sign up for the voice verification which I thought was actually the ploy of the first automated call.

that number is a scam if you get a call from a bank call your bank directly

Both my spouse and I have been getting calls at least 2x per day for the last month.. they just leave a message saying to call them back regarding an important business matter lol

I have gotten these calls, today I called the number but was suspicious when they said it was for some who hasn't lived here for a few years , so I called BMO fraud line. They say it's for their credit card dept .

I received a call from 1-888-676-2268, but because I had previously blocked the number, they were able to leave a message anyway. The robot voice said they were calling from BMO and that there was an issue with my account. I believe it's a scam.

Same here. I have received this call twice so far. But I have BMO account manager. If there was any issue the manager will call me to discuss specifically, not this kind of general warning. What confused me, is that the message didn't ask me to press 1 or anything.

I've been receiving calls from this number for weeks. Very annoying！I checked with BMO and was told that they have no reason to call me in that way. Please let the ECMP know and ask the police use their technical expertise to catch the callers behind this number.

I received their call 2 days in a row -

1.I DID NOT CALL the 1-666-676-2269 they provided incase if its a scam they would have confirmation that my telephone number is valid in their data base and sell my number to other scammers to call me with the same modus operandi.

2.Instead I called directly my bank and had them confirm that they did not call me and everything is in order with my account.

3.I then googled online the number provided and validated that I am not the only to whom this has happened. I proceeded with the advice of many here and blocked the number.

4.Furthermore, my voicemail does not provide my full name - so the scammers can not connect my number to a real name.

for me it was not a robot
