yeah got a text msg wanting it to call it about unlocking my card. while i have a first merit account and in fact used it last night...there is no info on the website for my acct about anything being locked. i agree with the above poster...banks simply don't do this. i called my "actual" bank # and unfortunately they are closed. i figure it is a scam too...probably why they pick sunday to try it figuring nobody can confirm it with their bank.

Received a text today 10/13/13 said it was First Merit Bank and wanted you to call them back. Automated message that your debit card was locked and press 2 to reactivate. Has to be a scam. Banks just don't do this.
I received a text from 907-341-3351 & said it was First Merit and urgent and to call them. I have no accounts with them so I checked it out & it is a scam.
just had the same one. Caught my attention because I used to have an account with that bank but no longer do. the are code is Alaska & I'm pretty sure they aren't in Alaska. And no banks don't do that, unless you sign up for text alerts, but those are account specific & I never had them with First Merit.
