What is it?

Just called sprint and they stated that the information i gave them does not match how they withdraw money. Sprint told me the charge was not from them and to contact my bank

I just had a charge for over $300 from this listed business. I am not a Sprint customer. Called my back and had to block my card and dispute the charge.

I noticed 2 unauthorized transactions on my debit card from Sprint*Wireless totaling approximately $500. I immediately called the 800-639-6111 number which appears and sounds to be the real Sprint but I later found out this is also alleged to be fraudulent! The next day, I received a text from the “real” Sprint saying they have no records on their end of any the transactions. I was asked to provide a copy of my bank statement showing the transactions to which I immediately refused. I was told by the “real” Sprint that the 800 number that I called the day before was not them. My antenna immediately popped up and questioned this: If I only spoke with a fake Sprint, how in the hell does the so-called real sprint know? The agent called the so called fake people and said he was shocked that they even had the real Sprint chime.

At this point, I’m honestly looking at Sprint sideways, especially since this has been happening since at least 2012, with this SAME so-called fake Sprint number. Bottom line, in my opinion, the lines are blurred as to who’s not the fraudster. How can this be happening for at least a decade? Something stinks and the foul odor seems to be coming from within the “real” house, in my opinion.

I had this show up on my credit card. I am not a Sprint customer. Called the bank and they had no information on where it came from.

I just noticed 2 fraudulent charges using this name and phone number. Call your bank and block your debit/credit card!

Had 3 charges from POS Debit - SPRINT WIRELESS 800-639-6111 $540.51 POS Debit - SPRINT WIRELESS 800-639-6111 $498.09 POS Debit - SPRINT WIRELESS 800-639-6111 KSUS $705.95

Reported to fraud division FBI needs to look at this.

I was charged 251 from this same company same number following also I called my back and turns out I had 2 other charges that I didn't see in this past month my bank gave me back my money and canceled my card how are these people getting our card information?

Same as everyone else. I was charged $320, I'm not a sprint user, and I'm not even close to Kansas (assuming KS refers to the state). May take up to 60 days to get my money back. I'm an already in-debt student, so I NEED every penny I have in my account just to make it through the week. This is completely ridiculous.

My fraudulent charge to this number was for $285.51. I am not a Sprint customer, and Sprint said they are unable to investigate fraudulent charges unless I have an account number. Reported fraud to the bank, but they said that I cannot dispute the charge until it posts. So much for paying my real bills on time. If you get a charge from this number on your card, cancel the card immediately. I had four attempts on my card in two days, two of which went through before I cancelled the card. The fourth only declined because I had cancelled the card.

SPRINT *WIRELESS 800-639-6111 KS I just got charged over $800 dollars, 3 different charges over a 6 day period on a BA credit card that I have not used in over 18 months. Only realized it when I got an email saying "you have a new bill from BA". BA said I would not be responsible. I do have a sprint phone number but have never used BA ever on their service. This is really upsetting that this same phone number has been doing this crap for years.

Same! 09/28/17 Discover Texts me whenever there's a charge on my card and I saw a 63.50 charge and am NOT a Sprint customer. Discover cancelled the account and is taking care of the issue 100%. I am glad I am signed up for these notifications! WIN!

AT&T Customer! lol

I was just charged two days ago for two transactions posted as “SPRINT 800-639-6111 KS” one for $524, the other $284. It’s 2020, they’re still doing this

Same here, I received a fraudulent/unauthorized charge of $172.20 on my old Discover Card account. I contacted Discover a couple of weeks ago to immediately close that account the next day after theta charge since I don’t have a phone or an account with Sprint Wireless, so I was issued a Discover card with a new account number.

Just received two charges for 64.51 from Sprint 800-639-6111. We don't have Sprint. For some reason I decided to do a Bing Search on this number and this was the page I got. Many frauds on this number posted on-line beginning in 2012. Why is Chase bank not flagging this number as a fraud its DEC 2107 already.? How many other different banks getting hit? Whether or not there was an info breach some where is irrelevant, every bank card in the US should be flagging this number as a fraud by now and they are not. I will report this to other agencies this should not be happening, fyi

I also got the same sprint # and charge for over 200$! Ks debit card purchase. If you order from nespresso the pods be careful that is how they got my card # my expire date and security code. Unbelievable!! I called them no resolution they claim their reps would never do that. Well guess what they did! It's the only place I have used my card in the past mth! Bc of Christmas money and gift cards I had to use up. They bought dominos and then also tried to transfer funds to bitcoin but i had nothing left they drained me 1000s thanks nespresso i will be pressing charges

Just charged twice Sprint with this contact number 800 639 6111. It's fraudulent. Beware

I received two charges on my VISA, one for 524 and the other for 180.33, both from Sprint Wireless. Closed out the card and submitted the fraud to my credit union. Never had an account with Sprint.

For some reason I was only charged 10$ from that number but I immediately cancelled my card before they can use it again. I contacted Sprint and they said it wasn't from them.

Same as others, $930 in Sprint KS charges. Canceled my credit card, filed police report and called Sprint. Sprint traced my transaction to "j-doe" and was told that since I was not the owner of the Spring account ( I do not have one!) I could NOT put a stop to the pending payment. In other words, Sprint in my opinion was facilitating the theft by "protecting" their customer. I understand that the customer using my stolen card could in theory "sue" Sprint , but even with a police report number in hand Sprint refused to put a stop or delay and investigate the situation. I wish there was a way to bring more attention to this scam. Like many others, I am very careful with my online and in-store transactions and do not know how it was stolen.

Not a Sprint customer. $400+ removed from my checking account. Reported to credit union. They destroyed my debit card and reissued new one. Have no idea how this happened. I take financial security very, very seriously.

I got a charge from SPRINT *WIRELESS 800-639-6111 KS for $510.63, which caused my account to go in the negative, triggering a series of notifications to me. I've never been a Sprint customer, so I knew right away it was a scam. I immediately checked my account and saw this and called my bank right away. As I was on hold, I got another email stating 4 more charges were attempted overseas for some dating website and asking me to verify if this was me. All of the 4 overseas charges were declined and my bank credited my account within a few hours. Someone got my credit card number, but didn't get very far with it because I caught it while charges were still pending. I'm always paranoid about my accounts and check them daily. Good thing.

I received an automated notification from my bank to verify activity -- $0.35 to MinuteClinic in Tulsa, OK and $1,746.71 to SPRINT WIRELESS. I logged in separately to my bank (versus clicking anything in the text or calling the number noted there) and confirmed that both HAD hit the account, though the $1,746.71 charge had been reversed by the SPRINT vendor. I turned off the debit card through the portal there and within SECONDS received a WF notification that 'my transaction had been denied because the card was turned off.' So who knows what that transaction might have been! Grateful they reversed the large one themselves, for whatever reason, but I've got the card cancelled, charges investigating to recover my $0.35, and we're moving on. Ugh.

My charge was for $108.00, on 6/27/17- ACH payment for Sprint8006396111. Had to close out checking and open a new account.

We received a charge for $689 from 'SPRINT wireless 800-639-6111' - this is not from Sprint but we had a wait a few days before our bank was able to credit the funds back. These low-life thieves take your debit card info and do what they want! Always check your bank accounts!

First suspicious charge was for $53.44, but it was refunded the next day. Then a couple weeks later a charge for $8.19. Then we called Sorint (we are customers) & confirmed it was not from them. Then the bank to get debit card closed & file fraud claim. They were prob about to make a big charge.

This purchase was on my bank account SPRINT *WIRELESS 800-639-6111 KS I have Sprint but pay by bill pay auto check. so i thought it was a fraudulent charge but i have a this bank account set up on my Sprint auto pay if i want to make online purchases. So i think if the monthly payment went up and they are using the auto pay to cover the difference. is you are getting hit with this someone grabbed your card and payed there bill with it. it is a real Sprint charge.

Same as everyone above. Fortunately I have Chase and they notified me as soon as the out of state transaction was attempted. Had to close my debit card (which I only use to get fuel anyways), but easily resolved. Mine was much less than anybody else's charges were though. Only $170

Received an even $400 charge on my Bank of America Credit Card from "SPRINT *WIRELESS 800-639-6111 KS". I instantly get text notification sent to my phone with any credit card purchase, so I was able to contact my bank within a minute or two of the charge. They refunded me the charge and issued me a new card.

I received a text alerting me this morning that Sprint #800-639-6111 was trying to take $4,671.89 from my account. My phone is from Sprint & I also manage a Sprint store but the account my phone is under is not in my name it's in my husbands name whom is not linked to this bank account. A payment to Sprint was NEVER made from this account in the past either. I called ASAP & Sprint knows nothing of the charge. BEWARE!!!! FRAUD!!!

I received on my Discover Card bill an unauthorized charge of $1,098.48. The payment by Discover was to Sprint Wireless 800-639-6111 KS. I do NOT have a phone or an account with Sprint. Am contacting both Sprint and Discover.

I had $625.00 charge to my debit card. I'm not a Sprint Customer and NEVER have been. My bank listed it as follows: SPRINT *WIRELESS 800-639-6111 KS. Filed a dispute with my bank and immediately cancelled the debit card. They're all over it right now. I also called Sprint Wireless and they found the account that posted the transaction with my debit card info, but they can't stop the processing of the payment and neither can I because I don't have any authority to the account. Only the person who owns the Sprint account can give the authority to stop it. I'm also filing a police report and providing that info to my bank as well. The police officer I spoke with mentioned that, once filed, the detectives will be able to contact Sprint Wireless directly and have them release the information to disclose it in the report. If I ever find out who did this, I will be pressing legal charges.

I had same charge on my wife's debit card. SPRINT *WIRELESS 800-639-6111 KS 6360 Sprint Parkway,. We also are not or have ever been Sprint customers. Called CU and found out there was another change for same amount of $400.40 two weeks prior that we had not noticed yet. Canceled debit card and waiting to here back. How do we find out where the card was compromised?

I was charged $1,070 without any authorization. I do not have any sprint account, never have. Same as everyone's complaint, this fraud coming out from this same office must be investigated and take legal measures. if it happens to you, cancel your card immediately and block that charge or dispute it as soon as possible.

There was a charge on my account for 358.60. I noticed it the same day and called the bank. The charge is fraudulent, so the bank will dispute the charge, put it back in the account, cancel the card and issue a new one.

My cc company alerted me to a charge of $1,090 from this number. They blocked it before it went through fortunately. I'm not a Sprint customer and nowhere near Kansas. Closing that cc account and getting a new card.

Had 3 charges from this number in the amount of 238.68 Sprint Wireless. I am a Sprint customer but I have never used this card to pay any of my Sprint bills. Called the Bank and Disputed, closed card and requested a new one. 800-639-6111

Same situation...bank statement showed 2 Sprint Wireless 800-639-6111 KSUS transactions, 2 days apart. First for $.75...checking to see if acct# was valid, with funds, and would clear, I’m guessing. Second day was hit with a $900 charge, which put me into negative, signaling a warning message to me. I blocked the acct immediately, then called Sprint, who had me set up a 3-way call with my credit union to try to get more info & resolve. As others stated, I now need to go to my credit union branch to create a dispute. This is a first for me...have never dealt with fraud/identity theft before 🙁

Received a text from bank informing me of strange activity. It included South Carolina Associates 0.00 (declined), Then a checkcard reversal sprint wireless 800-639-6111 ks in the amount of 223.34, then next charge was checkcard sprint wireless 800-639-6111 KS for same amount 223.34 KS. Bank caught these activities thank goodness but the sprint one is currently processing and will take a few days to be declined. Glad Bank of America noted strange activity and texted me as result.

I noticed two charges of $37.89 from SPRINT *WIRE 800-639-6111 KS on my bank account today, which is weird because I am not a Sprint customer and I never have been. I have Verizon. I called my bank and they immediately canceled my debit card and told me that it looked like an over the phone purchase and someone may have just entered the wrong card number. My charges are still pending because I caught it early enough. Hopefully Wells Fargo will be able to give me my money back. I'm glad my charges were not as much as the other reported charges, but it is ridiculous someone who doesn't have my name can use my card number and Sprint will just run it (TWICE!).

Received charge of $518.74 on debit card for "pos-mc sprint 800-639-6111 KS". Notified bank the following day. They cancelled my debit card and I received a new one several days later. They also sent me some paperwork to sign and have notarized so they could start a fraud investigation. Once they received my paperwork they posted an "Adjustment Claim Provisional Credit" for the full amount.

They stated they will then contact Sprint to verify it is not a valid charge. Sprint will then have 90 days to reply. Since I have never been a Sprint customer, I know it is not.

$3000+ charge in one go. They're stepping up their game. BOA caught it with a text, and declined the transaction, and helped to check the rest of the statement. Looks like they tried doing this all in one go. This is for a Sprint Store in Lansing MI.

I do not have a Sprint account, either, and my bank showed this same Sprint imposter phone number trying to access $26 from my account. That isn't much in contrast to other others here; however, this provides additional evidence that this number is originating from Sprint imposters. The only reason they didn't access my money was because I moved to Hungary, and my bank wouldn't free up my account until I gave them clearance once I was settled.

Can you help? What is this charge?
