I called SunTrust customer service. They have received multiple calls about this scam and have reported it to the FBI, along with both of those numbers.
05/01/12 (4:15 pm EST) got text message From: [Unverified-Sender] (9178729657) S.U.N.T.R.U.S.T Notice Please call 213-799-0779. Goggled the 917 number-located in New York... then goggled the call back number 213-799-0779 which is in L.A. California. I do not deal with SunTrust bank first of all. I did try to call 917 number back not valid number,,, going to my Verizon account and place these two numbers on block list. I suggest everyone else do the same.
I work for SunTrust these are scam texts. You can email - [email protected] to report them to SunTrust. For those that do bank with us we will never text, email or call you asking for information.
I have received multiple texts from this number requesting action to unlock/re-activate my Suntrust debit card as well and never had an account with suntrust. I've even text back asking to stop and remove my number and they replied with another text with the same verbiage... Landline out of California but it could be a trunk line....further investigation needed.
