Any idea what that could be? He told me the call was from the company that sells "this stuff". But it's really weird for InComm to ask such questions since they have all the information. Could it be a call from Netspend? But how do they know where I purchased VRs?
Groundhog,
I had a similar experience at MurphyUSA (Walmart gas stations) except due to the timing of the phone call, the purchases were not verified and my VRs were deactivated. After about an hour and a half standing around in the Texas heat while the manager made phone calls, I had my cards reactivated. Perhaps this is something that is happening for gas stations?
I'm curious if this is really Incomm contacting the stores or if the stores have internal departments that are keeping an eye on transactions. The manager at murphyUSA kept referring to "help desk." That is who she called, who in turn called Incomm, to reactivate the cards.
