I also just received the same message.

Just talked to a friend, whom also has t-mobile...she got the message to...let everyone you know who has tmobile that its a scam! BEWARE!

I got the same text message as did my husband and my son.  We all have cell phones w/ TMobile.

wow, how weird that this is happening, b/c i got it as well, only when i called it said VM box is full.

I got this text too at 4:34pm...called it back, it was garbled but said please wait...your account is currently locked (or something like that) and to hold on to verify something.  I hung up, called from a land line and it said the mailbox is full. Freakin SOB's!!!!

Got same txt, called number & mailbox foll...tmobile here

Just got the text myself

Got a similar call in August. It was a scam.  Do not answer it. They somehow tapped into t-mobile.

Just received the same text. Ironically received an email yesterday stating to beware of this scam. If you do have a visa card call your card company and report this to their fraud department. They are aware and actively pursuing it.

Yep T-mobile too

Yeah, I receieved that message too! Thanks for the information guys!

Reported to FBI

I also received it. I called the number and the mailbox is full. I hate this sort of junk, and I hope the source of this mess is caught.

Same text message as everyone says. "sms@visa.com / C.U. West. "Pending Authorization" For more information please call 1-800-822-7043. Thank you. /" From 3528.

I have T mobile, too.  Message says "pending authorization...for more information call 1-800-882-7043. Thank you./"  Probably another Nigerian scam.

All of these scammers are worse than Hitler...

got it about 10 minutes ago, and then 8 on the wife's cell....they are walking through all the t-mo phone numbers....scammers...morons....idiots...

wonder if there is any way to track back the sms number

Same text message "sms@visa.com / C.U. West. "Pending Authorization" For more information please call 1-800-822-7043. Thank you. /" From 3528.

I just got the same thing. I have a Phoenix number and Tmobile as well.

At least we know we not alone right now =)

Got it - T-Mobile Customer as well.

From 3588:
sms@visa.com / C.U. West."Pending Authorization".For more information call 1-800-882-7043. Thank you./

Yeah this sucks, I got the same thing... so weird

Yep, I got it too, T-Mobile.   Have they sold our info to someone?!?!?!

Another one here... T-Mobile

Hate these moron scammers!

Just got the same message.. Wonder if it's trying to steal info..

sms@visa.com / C.U. West. "Pending Authorization". For more information please call 1-800-882-7043. Thank you. /

From 3654

dont answer it or enter in any information. It is a  scam. If you are wondering if there is a problem contact your bank directly!!!!!!!!

Situations like this just add unnecessary
stress.  I received the text at 4:38pm today.
I called the number given and the mailbox
was full.

Regarding worries of phone account:  Calling this number will do no harm to your phone account.  The only threat is if you give up any credit card/bank information.

This is confirmed fraud.  If you have given any account information to the individual please contact your bank / cc company.  To report the card as stolen so you can get a new card and number.  Also, watch your statement for a while for unauthorized charges.

Received this same text as all of you did and another one today from one claiming to be from sunwest credit union stating my account is frozen.  I called sunwest and let them know, they said they were already working on it.  It is a SCAM and people beware.  My husband works for T-mobile and ive received 3 or 4 of these texts.  I called the number but it said mailbox full.  DO NOT give out your credit card info to these fools.....I dont have accounts with CU West or Sunwest CU.

Yep..got same message, got a Phoenix area code and T-mobile
