I too, (a non-member, however), have received the fraudulent text many times, over and over. I would like to suggest that the credit union representative that keeps reposting the same response, report the information to respective authorities in hopes to attempt to stop the continued fraudulent activity.  If a credit union representative, would offer a phone number where non-members also could also report the of sending text messages, perhaps they could collect enough data to get this action corrected. The public would certainly appreciate your help.

Just got a text to call 661-245-3230 regarding an important issue with my account at Generations FCU

I am a T-Mobile customer and got the same text message . States that my account with Genfcu  had to be closed and I needed to call them or e-mail them to reopen. Since I am not a member my first step was to do some research to find out more about this message. Thanks for the alert. appreciate all the info.
Everyone needs to take heed, and  do their your  homework before commiting to anything that you are not familiar with, and lets put this scammers out of business by not falling for their tricks.

I received a text from 1#593 said:"210663@mygencfccu.org// Visit www.gencfccu.org to unlock your account." I don't even have an account with this credit union.

I'm a Sprint customer as well, I guess we all have something in common, As i received the fraudulent text, but called my bank personally to see what the matter was, and was informed of the SCAM. So Thankful I'm educated enough to know not to give out important information unless you call them, NEVER let them call you asking for you info.

One would think that Sprint or the FCC could easily track down the perpetrator of this scam.  How hard could it be to trace the source of what appears to be hundreds of text messages from the same source.  I too have a Sprint mobile phone with a San Antonio phone number.  The idiots propagating this scam have been sending text messages to my phone for months.  I even asked Sprint to block certain text messages from my phone and they still get through.  Does anybody work in the fraud department of Sprint or the FCC or did they get laid off due to sequestration?

Just got a text telling me to go to mygenfu website

My cell phone number is on the do not call registry although I have been receiving text messages from my gen and bofa I do not have an account with them so I know its spam. I'm very cautious on how I share my number and most of the times when I have to put in a cell phone number I use an old house phone number from the 90's that is disconnected if called. So I don't know how they have my cell phone number. If sprint has anything to do with it. We should be blaming our service provider. This is not fair we have to give them our hard working money and they can't do anything about it.

Received a text msg telling me my bank account had been "locked" and in order to "unlock" it I had to call to give my account info....? I don't even have an account with this bank!!!  Niether would I call to give info Even if I  had an account, very disturbing.

Not hardly! Sprint would not do something like that. It is a scam that someone is running, trying to get some people to give them their credit card information. This has been done over and over using different numbers and texts.

I got a text saying urgent to call 434-979-1702  (of course I did no!t) but this time the text said it was from BOfA boa.com, making it appear that it was coming from maybe Bank of America, however, that is not their web address. So- same song, new verse! Wish these people would spend their time and effort on a real job!!

Got a message from member@mygenfcu.org on my cell phone.  Message said: Dear Generations F.C.U member, we had to lock your account.Click www.mygencfcu.org to unlock.

Besides bad spacing and an extra c in the web address very strange as I do not have an account with Generations F.C.U.  I'm also a Sprint customer.

I bet it is sprint doing some sort of under the table deal. I have been receiving the same text.

I keep getting this message too and I just received a phone call from them as well. I do not belong to this credit union and I know it is spam but if i get a call or text in the middle of the night again I will go crazy!! I have Sprint and live in San Antonio.

Ive received 2 text messages from "generations fcu" online@mygenerationsfcu" both stating my account was locked and I needed to contact them. Never heard of this bank and do not have an account with the
. Now this evening I received a call from what appeared to be a satellite number (looked like when my loved ones in the military call) and it was an automated call from them saying my account was locked and press 2 for security to unlock it. I hung up. Also a sprint user with San Antonio number

got a text message from this number saying my account is locked???  i don't even have an accout with them.. I assume it is a scam!

unlock my account
