i also received this text message and i do not bank there. extra annoying that they were able to get through to me because i had text messages blocked from my phone and cannot receive them from anyone else.
Another one in KCMO, same text, same message. Person who got the call doesn't have an account at that bank so clearly a scam. As of 4 p.m. CST Jan. 15th, that particular number had been "disconnected or no longer is in service."
Live in MO. And have a sprint phone and I received this text about 3:39 CST. I do wonder how they got my number too. I honestly didn't even bother calling it. I figured it was a scam. I just googled it and was directed here.
called my bank. theyre doing their thing.
called sprint. theyre doing their thing.
called level 3 communications. they looked it up and it is indeed a number IN Newfane VT. they advised i file a report with my local police dept.
called local police dept. they took report and will follow up. jurisdiction is a question due to unknown location of texter. they file it and will follow up but advise i call windham co. sherriff of VT (newfane location).
called sherriff in VT. they transfered me to VT police in brattleboro VT.
talked to VTPD. they took the information. and will file it as informative to the PD and will follow up and look into what they can. the number is out of service now but well see what happens eventually. it was strange trying to get information accross because of where my number is from (MO) and where i live (not MO). so they now know a number in their state was used as a contact to defraud people.
