6:20 pm, SUNDAY! Aug.5 just received a txt msg from this number informing me that my card beginning with 4522 has been deactivated. A call back number was provided - 931-225-3744. Name given is EMPLOYEES RESOURCES C.U. Only have a couple cards neither begin 4522. Of course, I thought scam, but typed the call back number into one of those "free" searches and those results said it is a cell out of Shelbyville,TN. That's just down the road so I googled that name. There IS a real credit union with offices in 2 other nearby towns, but the name is employee resources, not employees, and neither the number this txt came from nor the call back number are listed on their contact page. Seems these people put a little effort into making it seem legit. There are a couple other pages on 800notes about these same folks, different numbers. One is 931-478-6619 with a call back #931-478-6127. Looks like some report the number they received the txt from, some the call back number provided in the msg. How do they get our cell numbers?! I just added a line on family plan and then had some problems with service so a lot of at&t contact, so....

Aug 5, 2012 at 7:11pm I just got the exact same message for a card starting with 4522 and I have no cards. Call back number 931.225.3744. It is definately garbage, delete or report it. They do seem to be getting a bit more sophisticated.
