Got a call from this "credit union", said press 1 to speak to someone, then it wanted me to type in my 16 digit card number. Hell no. Fraud.

I got a call on my cell from this number (after midnight) July 20. Leaping out of bed thinking there was an emergency, I heard a choppy pre-recorded message supposedly from a bank (the name ended in Point). I don't have an account with a bank whose name ends in Point. The message instructed me to press one for (garbled words) and press 2 to speak to someone immediately. The message started over, and this time I understood it to say that my account had been compromised. Again, I don't have an account with a bank ending in the name Point. I have sleep issues and had finally drifted off to sleep before this stupid attempt at FRAUD!
We have 4 cell phones on this account. They all got the same call within approximately 1 1/2 hours.
2 of those cell phones got the same call on July 21 before noon. Only my phone showed 530/230-5125 on caller ID.
I reported this to my cell phone company, since their database of numbers has obviously been compromised. They said it likely a computer driven call list and is totally random, having nothing to do with their database. I disagree. The calls come to our phones in numerical sequence starting with the lowest number and ending with the highest.
