If you’re ever unsure about a call, ask the caller for their name, hang up, and call them back using a published number that you yourself looked up. Not any contact number results from AI results, and certainly not whatever number they told you to call. A contact number that you yourself looked up. Only.
In the case of a payment card, the number to call is usually (always?) on the back of the payment card.
In the case of Synchrony, their website: https://www.synchrony.com/help/contact-us
That FDIC ID is likely an image generated by AI. And the FDIC calling some individual? Via FaceTime? From a Gmail account and not FDIC? That seems… unlikely. If you’re at all unsure, call them back, using a number you looked up. And if its official, only with your lawyer.
If any official FDIC call ever happens — you’re not the local pizza place next to the FDIC offices taking orders for take-outs and deliveries — you will likely want to talk with them only with your lawyer present.

This isn't Apple Support. This is a user to user only forum. Apple isn't here and we users aren't going to look into this company for you. Scammers are creative. Ignore and block them. If you actually have an account with Synchrony, report this to them directly.
