Got this on my Text..WachoviaDebitCardHasBeenLimited.Pleasecall6467556212.
I did text back on told them you A**hole, I don't even have a debit card and don't bank with Wachovia.

I got the same call on my sprint cell phone from the same number as above saying my wachovia card needs to be reactivated.  Even tho I have a wachovia card, I knew they were phishing.

Got the same text as referenced by others in this thread.  The Wachovia Check cards probably have thousands that start with 4828.  I wonder if the number to call in New York has some sort of unathorized charging scheme that is going to show up on a phone bill sometime ...  I would not even call it on a cell phone during the night or a weekend when the minutes are no charge.

This is the 2nd time in a week I have gotten this message. Wonder if there is a way I can block this number from texting me??? Gonna check out on Sprint web site and maybe call Sprint customer service.

Received a text from this number tonight. Had SCAM written all over it. Reporting to Wachovia asap!

Got the same text and I notified Wachovia right away about this issue. I will be calling their loss prevention department on Tuesday to notify them about this scam.  DO NOT GIVE YOUR INFORMATION OUT!

I received this text this am also. Immediately reported to my cell carrier---Sprint. They advised me to UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE reply to or call this phone number.  IT IS A SCAM. They are aware and are working hard at getting to the source. They advised me to forward text to:
abuse@messaging.sprintpcs.com.
IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY THING TO DO WITH YOUR WACHOVIA OR CELL CARRIER!! PLEAE CONTACT YOUR CELL CARRIER IF NOT SPRINT AND FIND OUT WHAT TO DO!!!

i got the same text message about my account from email address upihok@messaging.nextel.com also from another number 7325727050. Please be aware these scammers use many numbers and email addresses and will continue to send text messages. Call your bank and your phone company and report these messages in full detail to both of them, thats what i did and i now have both of them working to track the person/s responsible for this SCAM!

I contacted Sprint and informed them of the issue, they blocked all emails and texts from alert.com as well as any other 3rd parties.
I also contacted the fraud section of alert.com's website informing them of the issue..
Lets hope that these stop

I received the same text message this evening.  Since I do not have a Wachovia account I figured it was some sort of scam.  Wouldn't it be nice if there was an all out effort, by the FBI, to go after these "easy money low lifes" and lock them up forever.  Honest hard working people don't need this and do not deserve to even be subjected to this.  I refuse to believe there is no technology in existance to root out these jack***es and lock them up.  While they're at it, go after all the purveyours of phishing spyware and computer viruses that continue to ruin computer systems all over the Country and the world for that matter.  We're exposed to this everyday and it is sent to millions of computers each and every hour.  Am I the only one that has ever wondered why the Federal Government has not set examples by capturing these jerks, publicizing an arrest, trying them in a court of law, holding them responsible, getting a conviction and putting them in prison?  God only knows how much money and headaches they cause each minute of our lives.  I'd love to watch a Court TV of a trial putting one of these malcontents in prison.

I Got a text and sprint said it was spam, but it said Wichovia account had been limited and call to re activate.......Spam and SCAM...Do not give your account to anyone! your 4828X please call 646-755-6212 DON'T CALL and DON'T give your info!

I got that text last night.  I thought it was suspect as any banking institution worth it's charter would contact a customer if there is suspected fraud on their account. Please do not call this number back if any doubts exist contact your banking instituion directly at a reputable number. Hell even go into the branch.

Scam Alert!! Anyone willing to comply with this is a true goof. I am sending info to Wachovia fraud department asap..

Thanks to all who posted this is a scam.  Got the same message last night, thought it seemed fishy.

Here is the same scam from alert@alert.com . Please call 6467556212
I often get another one from United Police . Unkown sender. The phone # is 877-576-0994

Same as above, aren't we at the point in technology to stop this type of crap?

I received an email via Sprint from alert@alert that my debit card has been limited

646-755-6212

Got a call from 646 755 6212 saying my acct was limited, whatever that means. The subject line of the text message even said [SPAM]. I don't even have a Wachovia acct. What a**holes.

I tried to call back and they have a automated operator asking for your 16 digit card #. I do not even bank with Wachovia. I do BOA. So I was up for a laugh. Unfortunately you cannot even get past the operator without a 16 digit card number. If any of you guys out there call a number that was text to you and not the # that is on the back of your card and you give your 16 digit card # then you almost deserve it. Almost because nobody deserves to be ripped off. Even if you are a dumb a**.

I received two text and my 15  yr. old also got a text talking about my Wachovia bank card...My wife contacted Wachovia and she said they do not send text messages..So this is a scam

I just got the same text message, I live in Minneapolis.   It said ” Your4828XXXXXXXXXXXXXXWachoviaCardHasBeen Limited. PleaseCall 910687606″

My textmessage came from 2543790000!!"customer issue, wachovia service frozen, please call at 309 834 0138" From:(2543790000) To:cell number(mine)received:01/24 12:42. They asked for last 4 SS#digits, then acct#, atm card#, or checking acct#!!!!! Wachovia said email abuse@wachovia.com,and forward text to abuse@messageingsprintpcs.com.

I got a text message this morning letting me know there was a "customer issue, wachovia service frozen. please call at 646 383 8888" I googled the number and found these comments. I'm glad I didn't call. I'll probably call my provider, though, to make them aware of this scam.
