"customer issue, jefferson financial service frozen. please call at 786 425 0042"

I got a text yesterday, text 9099, customer issue, etc. for jefferson financial service. I also do not bank with that credit union; I use another one.  It said to please call at 786 425 0042.

Today I got basically the same message, but the phone number was now 303 325 7300.

I'm reporting this to any & all agencies I can think of, including Sprint!!!

I got this text today as did my husband, my friend, and my kid! I have heard that if you call numbers like this your phone could be charged thousands of dollars. Please just delete the text. DO NOT CALL that number!! You can't contest it with the phone company either because they will just say that you willingly made the call, and to take it up with the business. Trouble is the business is that of a scam artist! BEWARE!

I got sa call... told old fredrico I was coming to Kick his a**...Im in the NOLA area too. Must have been phishing the 504 area code today... Damned a-hoes...

Everyone in the family and everyone at work received the text from 1-786-425-0042.  I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't know better and calls this number.  Probably thousands got the text and they hope to just get a few replies who will give out account numbers.  This is the 3rd scam text I have received this year. Thanks for the FTC NUMBER WILL CALL NOW.

Have gotten texts twice now. Texting costs money. I would never give financial info over cell phone or internet. Something needs to be done to protect people who live in the greater NOLA area because someone may really use the real financial credit union.

I received it as well. Just fired off an email as described above. I suggest the same actions from everyone else.

just got this text..searched google and came on to this website. I know it was a scam...I was thinking about depositing money at this CU but now Im not  going to because this company isnt doing anything about it...this isnt the first time I gotten this message!!!

I got a text from this number, 786-425-0042 and also an email message on my work email.

got the same message just now.  we're just across the lake from new orleans.  don't have account with them either.  if i would have gotten the same message from my bank or credit card company, i would have found my latest bill and called the number on the statement.  be VERY wary of emails and text messages!!!!!!!!!! =^,,^=

This is who that telephone number is registered to.

I just did a little homework and found this:

I'm in New Orleans also and do not bank with anyone called Jefferson
Financial.  This is very strange?????? Just the same as you I tried to get someone on the line but it keeps asking for a 16 digit number. Sounds like some scam to me.

Just got the same text. They sent it twice. I called the number and they asked for my 16 digit card number. I tried to get an operator to see whats up by it kept asking for my card number. Im in New Orleans and do not have an account with Jefferson Financial credit union.

Anyone know what this is?  I got this message via text on my cell

customer issue jefferson financial: services frozen. when you call it asks for 16 digit account number.
