Feb, 12th 2014

First Data has learned of a widespread phishing attack telling recipients that their merchant ID has been locked.   Unsolicited email containing errors should always raise a red flag, especially if combined with a call to action, such as calling a toll-free number or clicking on a link. If you receive an email similar to the one below, immediately delete it from your inbox and deleted items folder.  Do not open any attachments. No further action is required on your part.

 

If you are a merchant who called the toll-free number below and gave your merchant ID, please call the contact center number on your statement so that First Data can help you monitor for fraudulent activity on your account.
