No call rcvd - someone has been sending me txts from sprints website to my work cell phone.  Dont give the number out to anyone that would sell the # so I'm not sure how they got it.

Regardless, I've been getting txts from someone stating
"notice:card-starting with-446053
Issue call 877-250-8538 usbank"

Exactly like that.  A few banks have already published this # as a known phishing operation.  Just thought I'd verify it is indeed quite bogus.

Received this message:

804-835-6757@upgrade-center.com / / You have a new Customer Service Banking message. Call now free: 1-8804-835-6757 to hear it, and follow instructions.

From: 3808


I replied back with:

Stop all texts and calls to this number and remove this number from all call and text lists.


Haven't heard back from them since. Hope it worked.

I have been having the same problem. There are articles all over the net that it is a scam to try and steal your personal info when you call the number. I talked to my carrier T-mobile as well and told me only way to stop getting text was to block texts of this type. I cannot do that with blackberry so very annoying.

Hi Phonescam2,
Thanks. I'm getting two texts from them a day and I don't have there bank card. Hopefully if the FCC gets enough complaints they will put a stop to them. I have about six complaints filed so far and will file a new one every time they text me.

Thanks miataone !! I just sumbitted my complaint to the FCC.

This is the same number they are telling me that they have an issue with! US Bank card starting with 4460-5330-xxxx-xxxx  ??? I do not have a US Bank card.  They keep texting my work phone and I do not give that number out to anyone except work contacts. ???

Hi Ohio Lady,
Don't know how they got my number. I don't give it out except to close friends and haven't added any ring tones.

Thanks. I just started getting the same messages last week. I even googled the first 800 number and it took me to some credit union in PA. Then I did a google street search...took me to a trailor park.

I work at a bank so I know how this mess goes...so just erase them and don't reply. NO BANK will EVER ask for you to call them and provide personal account information (well at least the bank I work for).

And tmobile is my carrier and they too said the same thing. Somehow we all signed up for something online and got screwed. I'm thinking free ring tones...

Hi,
Flood the FCC with complaints. I'm tired of them texting me on my pay as you go phone. The website is: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

I wish they'd stop too. read my msg below yours. I don't know who your cell carrier is but hopefully this helps you

I got 3 text msgs all concerning a US Bank card along with the numers 446-053 and a number 8772508538...which I do not have. I just called US Bank to inform them about this issue and was told not to worry about it and that someone was trying to steal information.The 877 number tells you to enter your credit card number first. (scam)T mobile can't event trace where the messages are coming from,they have no record of them being sent to me at all. IT'S A SCAM!!!

About 15 in the last week.  Always says a different credit card is either canceled, having trouble, suspended, over limit, etc.  I never have any of the card numbers they list.  Tried to text back STOP or REMOVE but they still keep coming.  Anyone trying calling the number??  I am scared to! Want them to STOP!!

I have been getting the same spam texts all week. I have spoken to numerous tech support people at T-Mobile and they are unable to do anything to block the texts. It's really pi**ing me off now!

This is strarting to piss me off! This is the 3rd one in less then 24hrs. Different phone numbers to call & from different senders, but same thing ! Phishers.!

notice: card starting with # ******. issue. call 877-250-8538

I am also receiving the same tex messages from this number, does anyone know how to stop these text messages ? the caller id is 3592, 3808,3749, 3586, 3503, 3855 and the email address is 08@tomail.net. I called U.S. Bank and it is not them, they said that it is a scam, I also called T-mobile, and they said the only way to stop it is to change your phone number. I think it has to be another way other than getting a new number because they can just send texts to the new number.

I also keep getting texts from 008@tmomail.net saying there is a problem with my card and to call 877-250-8538.  I don't have a usa bank account.

text from 1-877-250-8538:

have no US bank account.

(automated voice asks caller to provide 3 pieces of additional info to reactivate card, including bank card number)

Dear Customer: USBank

Issue.Call 1-877-250-8538

I don't have any relationship with US Bank.

Text saying that my US Bank account is compromised. US Bank wouldn't even have my cell phone number to begin with.

I continue to get text messages indicating that I should call this number because my debit card with US bank has been compromised and will be revoked. I do not have an account with US Bank
