They are also using the number 646-524-1393,

I just got the same message!!! don't have account with this place and never ordered checks!!!!! total scam!!!

Same call. Scam scum

I got the same message and I'm wondering why these scumbags get away with it...

Got exactly same message right now!!

Got a text to call immediately re NCUA balance. NO idea what this is. I'm not calling. SCAM

I received the same text message when I tried calling the number it was such a bad and choppy recording I couldn't make out what was being said. I did not order any checks!! 1-646-524-1395  From Checksordered @alerts.com

I also got the same text message about having a negative balance for an account I know nothing about.  When I called the number it ask for my sixteen digit, bank card number, of course I did not respond!  I'm so glad I looked this number up and saw these postings.  What a scam!!

The automated [computer] will ask you for your 16 digit card number, your expiration date,your 3 digit code on back of card, AND YOUR ATM PIN NUMBER!  Sure, I am stupid, so I entered 16 zeroes,  10/2011, 987, and 9080.  The poor quality computer voice said that no live help was available, then concluded that my card was activated.  I am very impressed.  Now where do we report these scammers to?  More Google searching..  Unless you lead a very boring life, please do not respond to these thieves, and if you do, please do not give credible info.

A check order for your checking account was placed on 12/01/2012.
Please contact us immediately at 1.646.524.1395.

got a text saying "a check order for you checking account was placed. Please contact us immediatly." Called back from another phone and no answer. called my bank and they said it was def. a scam

I got the exact same message, same $-14.51 balance. This must be a scam

I received a text from 646-524-1395 stating that a check order for my checking account was placed on 12-1-12 please call immediately.  I called the number from a different phone and never got an answer it was always busy.  I called my bank and put an alert on my account.   I have not ordered any checks.  I would like to know if there is a way to turn these people in!  This is crazy that this many people have been notified.

I got a text from them this morning stating my NCUA account had fallen to a negative balance. I've never had a credit union account! Definitely a scam I will not respond. My 86 yo mother was contacted by someone saying that my son was in jail and they needed her to send $. There are so many scammers out there. Beware!

My husband and I have got both of the calls such as, alert you ordered checks and now your account -14.51. Really why try to get hard working peoples money? Go out and get a real job!!!! These people suck and karma is a "B"!!!

i got the same message to call this number and enter my credit card number...no way..scam scam

My 80 yr old mother recieved this message on her phone and it upset her terribly!! I am grateful that all this info was on here so I could calm her down..

Also got reports of people getting this same message"alerts@onlinem .gov with a msg. stating: Alert Banking: Yoir  N.C.U.A. Balance fell to $-14.51 on 12/02/12 at 12:46 PM ET.  Please contact us immediately 1. 646. 524 .1395"

Funny, the numbers are identical to what Louise posted above.
I work at a credit union and many members are calling in with IDENTICAL numbers.  Obviously a scam!  You do know that is thousand times easier for scammers to rob people electronically than to roll up to an institution wearing a mask and carrying a gun.  This is the new wave of hold ups.  Expect more text, phone and e-mail scams like this to continue as people hide behind their computer screens.  Its a safer, easier and more effective way for thieves to get money from the uneducated, rather than risk going to jail in a physical hold up (heck most banks have funny money - insured designated cash to distribute in a hold up, where an ink pack explodes and ruins the cash after they leave the premises).

Why risk your face on camera when these scumbags can hide behind their fancy computer screens!

I received a text message from #:141-000-0002, stating: "FRM: checksordered@alerts.com. MSG: A check order for your checking account was placed on 12?01/2012. Please contact us immediately at 1.646.1395." I googled the number and discovered this is a SCAM!!! Please, be careful!

A text came in from 410000001 from checks.Ordered@alerts.com to contact the 646 # regarding checks ordered.
I had responded back "cancel, police has been contacted and reported".   Received another email that msg could not be delivered because of invalid pdu content.

This is a scam do not reply to email.... I like to know how they get our email?

Duh a scam!!!! I text back that u they are out  of their minds if they really think I would give them my account info! Idiots!!

I got the text as well about checks being ordered on Dec. 1st.  My first thought was that it was a scam and I'll bet they want an account number from me...I tried to call immediately after receiving the text and the line was busy.  Figured I'd look it up online.  Can you say SCAM?

Of course they want your routing numbers! What better way to access your money?

Texted "ChecksOrdered@alerts.com". Call the number from a land line. Right away it asks for your routing numbers. Bad News! Definitely a Scam!

Scam. Got a text message saying that checking account balance was negative. I assume if I would have called the number they give, they would steal my info.

just got the same message. i'm on the do not call list and got this text. I'm reporting them. Do not answer this text if you get it.

Alert Banking: Said: You NCUA Balance fell  to $14.51 on 12/02/12 at 12.46 pm et. please contact us inmediatelly.
I donk know no body with that phone

I got the "checks ordered" scam call.

Got the same text from checksordered@alerts.com to call to check on my order for checks. 1-646-524-1395.
It's a phishing expedition. Some one will undoubtedly call and give out personal information and get scammed. DON'T CALL.
