I just got the same text message at 7:41 EST...and knew it was a fraud as I don't have any card numbers that start with what was sent in the text message. Sick of not having any privacy.
I got the same msg. Thanks everybody for posting. At least we can figure out what's going on with it! The text message says smiONE Important Notification. Call: 4074138481
I got a text telling me to call this number today. It was a phishing scam asking for my social security number and credit card number. They wanted me to verify some crap because of recent thieves trying to scam people. They are the scammers. I understand that the cops never do anything about all the crap that comes from Nigeria, but how do these people operating in the US, Florida this time, keep getting away with it? One way is if you just ignore it. You have to report these people to stop them. Anytime you get one of these scams report them to the FTC.
My husband, stepdaughter and I all received this text within minutes with various information. Mine said smiOne Fraud Alert, have no idea what that is. There are alerts all over the news about the one ring scam, don't call it back.
