I just received the following text message on my cell phone on the Sprint network: From:1234 Msg: Card Services Alert: Your CARD has been DEACTIVATED.  Please contact us at 541-663-4236 to REACTIVATE your CARD.  

I had also recieved the exact same message ~10 minutes before, except the number to call was 877-691-3053. A search for the 877 number had about 4 reports all within a half hour period. One person said they called the number and got a robotic message: "Thank you for calling the credit union center 24 hours card services.  To activate your card press one.  To change your personal identification number press 2.  To end this call press the pound sign."  They pressed 1 and entered the card number 1234-5678-9012-3456 and it hung up on Them.  Clearly a scam to get someone to punch in real credit card numbers.

Just after that an Oregon police officer said that he just took a fraud report on the same number. DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER. The text has already been forwarded to Sprint's fraud department.

Same here :)

same here... sending to my bank and to the cell phone provider as well

Credit Union Alert: Your CARD has been DEACTIVATED. Please contact us at 541-663-4236 to REACTIVATE your CARD.

I enterred a random number and a random pin and it recorded it and the call was complete. I really hope nobody falls for this but I know some people will.


This came back as a LaGrande Or. number and is unlisted.

I just recieved a text message from this number claiming that they just deactivated my card and that i have to call 541-663-4236 to activate my card. I think there is something wrong here. The txt number appearing on my phone is123.

My husband and I both got this same message along with a lot of other people we know who have sprint. I don't know if it is just sprint or not but i have put the word out to all my friends. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY CREDIT CARD NUMBERS. IT IS A SCAM TO STEAL YOUR CREDIT.

I just received this same text from this #.
Here's what I found out about it....
La Grande, OR (Oregon)
Exchange: 541-663 (Verizon Northwest Inc.-or)
Phone Company: LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - OR
Switch: LAGRORXBDS1

This is definitly a scam!  
DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL INFO OR CREDIT CARD #'S!!!!

I got the same message.  

Everyone that gets this should call Sprint or your carrier's customer service line and report it so it can be flagged in their system.  The more reports they have the better it can be tracked down and stopped and hopefully prosecuted.

Tried to get my card and pin number, gave my card but not the pin...I hung up cause it seemed off.

Same thing happened here. I didn't call the number but got the same info as above when I tried to do a 411.com search on it.

This number sends text messages with a warning that your card has been deactivated and you need to call to fix this.

me too! thanks you guys they called both of our phones , said they were my credit union haha i dont have one
