got txt also about debit card lock up. please.

We have ATM card customers reporting receiving this text as well.  Clearly a phishing attack.

Have any credit union employees created a fraud alert message for membership yet???  Would love to see a sample...

Received text telling me my Credit Union Debit Card was locked and giving me a number to call.  I called the number and got an automated voice directing me to enter my 16 digit debit card number.  Clearly a scam - tried to enter a fake number to see what else it would ask for but there must be a format to the number because it recognized it as invalid.

Just received this on cell phone! We don't have an ATM debit card through the institution it claims.

Received a text from saying Access was limited.  Call to reactivate.

yea got the text yeterday and thought it was a scam. i'm in the 516 area code as well. is it just localized here?

Received call via cell phone with locked up debit card warning, called number and entered fake 16 digit card number and it was recognized as fake number.

SCAM SCAM SCAM!

My husband received the same message last night. Luckily, I work in a bank & knew it was a scam...but we also live in Cincinnati...so why would we have a debit card through New York?? Stupid scammers!!!!

got a text at 6:28 last night about "my" locked credit union debit card and to call 8457659464 to reactivate.  Not a member of a credit union, never have, probably never will.

just got txt on cell. SCAM.. I dont have debit card from a Credit Union. (516) area code in NY

this number is being sent out, using our cu name.  we will never text message, send an email with this type of request.  we only send INFORMATIVE emails.  we,  nor any other financail institution, would ever text/email requesting you give them your account number, pin number, or cvv number on the backs of your cards.  always notify your institution of receiving the text/email so that they can institute measures to have the phone numbers "taken down" or the fake websites removed from the internet.

Received a test last night at 6:56 pm. CU/FCU-Has Deactivated your debit card.  Call security department: 845-765-9464...
What a load of crap.

"your credit union debit card has been locked. Call 845-765-9464 to reactivate" It's bothering me that everyone is getting this message from messaging.nextel.com - did someone hack into their systesms and now has my personal info.

Got the text last night saying my credit union debit card was locked. On a whim I called the number which electronically asked me to give my account number, yeah right!
How do I make a formal complaint?

Same message: "Your Credit Union DebitCard has been locked. Call (845) 765-9464 to Reactivate."  But seeing as how this is a government health department research study cell phone, there's certainly no debit card attached to it.

Just got the same message as everyone else.  Mine was from jjodyy@nextel.com.  Telling me to call security department.  Hope my grandma doesn't get this...

I am from a credit union in the 516 718 area code, we have received several calls from members some did call and enter there card data some did not, is the common denominator here NEXTEL ????  

we now have to find any and all members that entered there data at the number so we can block and reissue there card.

Just spoke to Nextel technical services.  They claim they don't have the capability to track the originator of these text messages.  Anyone with a computer can can send an sms message to your cell phone simply by typing your cell number  then @messaging.nextel.com  I do it on a regular basis, but it registers as coming from my email account.  Sorry, people, seems there is no way to stop obnoxious morons like this one who set up a bogus email account and send mass spam sms messages

Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Don't make me barf!  Just another scammer trying to get the gest of us!  Yo, back-up!!!!!!

i just got a text too. what are these people thinking. i just signed up with a bank and thought maybe it was them. but a bank never texts.. this world is so crazy... just a tip too.. never give out your ss# to anyone over the phone. could screw you right up...

Isn't there something we can do about these things!!!!
We need to call in Skooter to get to the bottom of this!

Same text messaging through nextel...I'm assuming everyone else has nextel as well?  This message was obviously sent as a shotgun email from a computer. Nextel should be able to track the ip address of the computer it was sent from... No idea why they want us to call a number in downstate new york...definitely a scam

same thing here, with a red exclamation point

just got the same call ask me to enter my account number. can anyone out there tell me who can i report this to, so others will not be scamed.
i call the number back all i hear is a busy signal now. They must have block me from calling again.

My wife and I both received this same message, with this same number, from "notice9311@messaging.nextel.com".

I just got the same text message on my Nextel about 7:10 PM 9/30/09. My credit union would never text me, let alone at this time of day...

I got it too. How do they get our numbers? Should i report it to my provider?

Got the same text as everyone else...I mean, wtf, if it was real, which it isn't, wouldn't you think that the person writing the text message would at least know how to spell words they are writing in the text. The person it came was fozsmh@nextel.com   Are you kidding me, nextel. Dont be stupid and fall for it...
