I got the same text saying my SECU card was deactivated and I do bank there. However, the moron that sent it obviously thinks everyone is as ignorant as they are. No bank would send a weekend text saying they deactivated your card
Received a text from this number saying "LA LOMA F.C.U. ALERT: Your CARD has been DEACTIVATED. Please call: 903-273-6703." I have never had an account with this credit union and the number listed is not found on the credit union's website. SCAM.
I got the same "..card has been deactivated..." message and it tells me to call 608-237-7139. After reading some of the other sites regarding this second number, I understand that they just ask for your credit card information. I wish I could figure out how to legitimately report this to the proper authorities so that potentially they can trace this message back to the perpetrators of this scam.
I just received a text from this number telling me my credit card from West Coast Bank starting with 4778 had been deactivated and then gave me an Astoria OR number 503-468-1076 to call.
Not only do I not have this credit card I wouldn't respond to a text
This is ludacris for anyone to think a bank would notify you by text. What do the people expect to gain from this?
Same as above. Just happened, of course I knew immediately it was scam. It was the exact same as above. So I guess they are moving on now to different bank names and numbers.
West Coast Bank, starting with 4778 has been deactivated call 503-468-1076
The number it came from was: 1-856-332-1454
Yeah right, I'll get right on it LOL. Not really funny though, don't know where to "officially" report this scam, but sites like this help. All I had to do was put in the name of supposed bank and the number they wanted me to call, and up came this site. While I already knew it would be a scam, I figure the more of us that put the numbers and bank names in, the easier it will be for people checking on line, to see if a number, is a scam.
