I also got a text message purportedly from an e-mail address "linda@montclair-art.org" stating "(NOTICE) Your Valley National Bank bill service is expired, for renewal please call us toll us toll-free 845.210.3586 ASAP"

I don't know the sender and I don't bank at Valley National.  Also, area code 845 is certainly not toll-free.  I called the Montclair Art Museum in NJ and found out that they don't use that particular form of e-mail address anymore.  This is clearly a phishing scam.

I got a message from valley national bank to call back on 8663063544.

I received a text from this number yesterday and I called the bank's customer service number and they said they have received a lot of calls regarding this fraud....I dont even have an account with them....

I received this text message yesterday (3/2/08), as did my 13 year old son, and my sister. I just called Valley National Bank and they told me that this is a fraudulent message. I checked their website and they have a notice to delete this fraudulent message immediately.

just got a text message from this number claming to be from valley nat bank when i call back they wanted my credit card number pin # singature# not a live person just voice command

Valley National (in Wayne NJ) has posted a fraud alert on its website, but 845 is in NY state - so this scam would have to be reported to NJ state or NY state; or the FCC?? FYI on other post about imagine schools - they don't have sites in NJ or NY, so the link to an 845 number is odd. There's no clear pathway on reporting this sort of criminality on any of the sites.

Got the same text message, but said it came from www.imagineschools.com This is deffinately an idiot with too much time on their hands.  Perhaps the Turkish justice system is in order

same message, dont have an account there. can we bring this jerk to justice?

I used to have a company issued cell phone that I used for quite some time, but it was transferred to another employee a year and a half ago.  He recently contacted me, asking if I had a Valley National Bank account.  Turns out he received this text msg and believed it was legitimate and intended for me!  I've never worked with VNB and 845 is definitely not toll free. Beware...

Yesterday (Sunday) I got a text message purportedly from an e-mail address "linda@montclair-art.org" stating "(NOTICE) Your Valley National Bank bill service is expired, for renewal please call us toll us toll-free 845.210.3586 ASAP"

same deal here -- isn't there an FCC regulation against this?

OMG I just got one a second or two ago.

got a text message about Valley National Bank as well. i don't have an account there and it said to call asap.

Actually a spam text alerting me to call for a Valley National bank account that has a problem, I have no such account
