anything with me. I told the Customer Service Representative that I did not want account information but only to notify their Fraud Department of fraudulent activity associated with this account. I asked to speak to someone in their Fraud Department and the Customer Service Representative said they did not have a fraud department, which is incorrect. I asked to speak to a supervisor and when I asked that, she forwarded me to their fraud department, where I was only able to leave a voice message. They have not returned my call.
