Recieved an email from "Bank of Marion" saying my account was suspended and I needed to call this number back to reactivate my account. Except I've never heard of this bank ever before. I called the number and its a phoney answering service with only one button prompt that directs you to enter a credit card number.

Got an email from North Island Credit Union as well.
Anyone notice the typos? Says update, should be updated. Says temporary, should be temporarily. And "please call urgent"? Definite scam.

This is a phishing scam. The number is provided by Level 3 communications in NJ. Problem is they provide IP (internet based phone service so no physical address required) Toll Free service, so most likely the number was paid for with a stolen credit card, and most likely wont be caught.
