I just got it too. It's a scam. Call the police and report that number. When you call, they ask you to enter your credit card #. So they are trying to get credit card numbers.

Customer issue, california credit union service frozen. please call at 248 547 3189

Text message on 12.22.09 , 'Credit Union service frozen, please call.
(The 248 AC is north of Detroit, MI.)

I have received the same message. I also called and I heard the do not disturb message. I am reporting this to sprint

I've just received a text from 9099 message: customer issue, California credit union service frozen. please call at 248 547 3189. If you call from a home line it the operator says that the person whom I'm calling has a “Do not disturb message”.  I'm a sprint customer also and I’ve been getting similar emails. Sprint should do something about this or they will start loosing there customers.

Got the same call.I'm a Sprint customer also. I am calling Sprint security to report it.

Yeah i got the same message, i have sprint. points out to Michigan

yes, message says please enter 16 digit card number
they are trying to scam any cards they can --
bastards!

I got Sprint as well, and got the same text, seems someone got ahold of all sprint users numbers... I started freaking out thinking someone might have opened an account with my information!

i have sprint and i got the call, too

Got the same text.
Do you all have sprint?

I just recieved the same text from 9099 saying "customer issue, california credit union service frozen" it's a phishing expedition. Do not Call.
Details on the number; number points to a Royal Oak, Michigan number. OCN 9323 Ameritech Michican, LATA 340. CLLI code RYLOMIMNDS0
If you call, they will ask you to enter a credit card number;

DO NOT ENTER A CREDIT CARD NUMBER!!!

Report them to the FCC as well.  This is fraud and grand theft.

Sprint promised that they disabled the text message capability several times now. I initially requested this and they confirmed my request about 6 months ago. Every text sent since then has been fradulent. Each time I call Sprint thet tell me the same thing... "Ok so we have disabled the text capability now" Within a week another fradulent text arrives and so on. Sprint appears to have lost all control of the service they are billing us for. Just got another fradulent text today. It is taking an inordinate amount of my time to attempt to get this corrected. I can no longer either count on them or believe what they tell me... Bummer

Unauthorized usage of another person Cell ph. # Back off buddy!! I do not know how you got my ph.#D!?  I do not know you to stay clear or else.  Asking for paper work????!

That number belongs to me. My phone account was hacked. Then they sent a bazillion text messages to all you guys after setting up a call forwarding to another number in Phoenix--which phished for credit card numbers. It's been reported to the Fraud Dept of my phone company and I have changed my account settings and password, so ti shouldn't happen again

Hey All, the reason phones with specific carriers get hit is because in each geographic area each phone carrier (landline and cell phone alike) is assigned a prefix.  Phone numbers are formated Area code + prefix + suffix and so all numbers in area code 111 with prefix 999 may actually belong to Sprint, or To some other carrier originally (barring any porting from one carrier to another) so the Scammers will use a computer program that sends texts to all numbers in area code 111 with prefix 999 and just cycle through the suffixes.  For example, 111-999-1222, 111-999-1223, 111-999-1224, etc.....

your "fake" card was probably someone's real card # somewhere in the country. now that person is going to have problems too... unless you entered like, all of one number, like 0000 1111 2222.

please folks, don't imput a fake number. you're inevitably going to be messing with some random person's real number.

if you are a sprint user (as am i), please contact sprint to complain. maybe it doesn't have anything to do with them, but clearly they got ahold of some sprint list, and if they can track down the numbers spammed, they may be able to track what idiot employee sold them (or stole them).

report report report!

sprint user in LA (NOT a bank member)

got the same text 'customer issue, california credit union service frozen. please call at 248 547 3189"

also sprint customer

Is there a website or a phone number we can report this event?

Just got the number as well. Obvious scam, as I have gotten a couple of these types of text messages over the past few weeks. Googled the number to see if there was any info on it and found this place.

I am also a Sprint customer in Glendale. Obviously, Sprint is selling our numbers to 3rd parties. I hate that.

Maybe I will try Verizon when my contact is up...

I got the same scam text. im with sprint in valencia also.

Just got the exact same text, and I am also a Sprint customer in southern California.

I just got it. San Francisco, CA

My fellow Sprint holders, I just got the same text as well. Obviously, it is a SCAM - deleted immediately - moving on.... Oh, don't call the number either..

Ditto.
