QUESTION
I closed out a credit card account nearly 1 year ago, I settled with a debt collection agency and paid the remaining balance on the card.

More details to this question:
I recently received an automated voice message from a company claiming that my "Mastercard has been locked for security reasons" and to press 1 for more options. Does this mean that my credit card is still active? I thought I had closed the account but it seems like it may be open!
Any suggestions would be appreciated - Thanks!

This phone message is a scam, and has nothing to do with the earlier event. If you follow the message, the scammers get you to disclose your PIN and card number. This is a coincidence that there was another issue the year before.
