Who called from 8064780006

Got a text to re-acticvate my credit union 1 account (Scam)

This is a scam...they ask you to enter your credit card information.  I can't beleive that this numbers cannot be tracked/shut down...I am sure many naive people will fall for this scam.  

Scam- text message to cell phone / [email protected]

I got a message at 9:03am saying your credit union account is closed sue to unusual activity. To reactivate call us at 806-478-0006.
When I did call this number it asked for my credit card number and security code. When I hit 0 for the operator it repeated the recorded message.

I do not have an account with this Credit Union

i just called credit union 1 and they said the number given is not one of their numbers. it is a scam and to email credit union 1 and let them know their name is being attached to a scam.  the first thing that concerned me about the unusual activity on my card is the fact that i don't have one!!! and as commented by another person before when i tried to call the number i could not get to an operator. it was just a looped recording.

I got the same text message at 7:07 AM today.  However, my area code is 2 hours ahead, so I think the calls are going out at 9 AM local time.

I immediately knew that this was a scam as soon as I saw the text.  I contacted my cell phone provider (Sprint) and let them know about it.  I also asked if there was a way to block text messaging from e-mail accounts.  Apparently, there is not.

I urge you to contact your cell phone company and report this.

Incidentally, there is a website for creditunion1.org.  They have listed the text message alert as a scam on their website, but only citing it as a  phishing scam via email.  No mention of the texting was made.
