Just spoke to Sovereign Bank Lost and Stolen Card department. It is a SCAM. Do not reply. They have received many calls about this since 8am EST on 5/27/12
I called the 877 number on the back of my sovereign card...it is a total scam...the woman told me they are aware of the problem and working on it but she said DO NOT CALL and DO
NOT REPLY!
Wow, I can't believe everyone just got this a few hours ago on their phone, the same exact txt msg as I got (even around the same time 11:39am est). I knew it was a scam (not a member of Sovereign), but I just can't believe so many of these are going around.
How stupid ! My first thought "Banks don't text" and not even MY bank has my cell phone number!
And it's Sunday on a holiday weekend
And I don't have anything with Sovereign bank
And the bank name has hyphens in it
