Scammers are sending scam texts from 805-261-5588 or asking potential victims to call the fake PNC Bank customer service telephone number. Therefore, recipients of text messages from 8052615588 or those who are asked to call the same telephone number, are asked to delete the text messages. Other 805 area code telephone numbers are being used in this PNC Bank scam.
The aim of the PNC Bank scam text is to trick potential victims into calling the scammers behind it. If contacted, the scammers will pretend to be PNC customer service and attempt to trick the potential victims into disclosing their account credentials, personal, and financial information, which they will use fraudulently.
If you were tricked into disclosing your account credentials and finanical information to the scammers, please contact PNC Bank for help. Their legitimate customer service telephone number is: 1 (412) 803-7711 or you can go to PNC's website at www.pnc.com/en/customer-service.html for contact details.
