I got a text with this number and a 855 area code to call , saying my card had been limited . I did not call the number I googled it and saw what I expected it is a scam , be careful people and tell your older parents , this is how they have money stolen from them . I had something like this happen with an IRS scam only they called from a 213 number just like this text came from . Also the text for the card came in at 1:30 am yeah right ......
For a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
For text messages: forwarding any text message spam you get to the short code “7726,” which spells “spam” on most phones, to alert your network operator to the abuse. ATT won't accept 7726 But they will accept BLOCK and return a message that the web site is blocked. forward the texts to 7726 or BLOCK, depending on your phone carrier.
Report your callers here, not just to the DNC alone:
Got a txt just now from a 213 # and this is the first site that popped up once I googled it. I called the 855 number and it wasn't even specific about what bank the card supposedly belonged too. In hindsight, I hope I didn't inadvaertently activate anything.
