Sent a text message stating that my debit card has been cancelled

I got a text message stating that First Class American Credit Union with Sprint Pcs has placed a limit on my debit card, requested I call back at 786-456-3040. I called and they wanted my ss# and checking acct #.

The State Dept has deactivated just about everyone's debit cards...We have Nextel as well, and it seems most of these complaints are Nextel or Sprint users.  This is yet a new phone number to call 702-732-2775 so the 877-427-2250 might have been shut down.  I sent a email to the FCC at fccinfo@fcc.gov - don't know if it'll do any good or not.

I have called nextel regarding this.  I had the option of having text messaging turned off but we use it.  So they blocked the person sending the message.  This doesn't help as they have different addresses not just from nextel.  All our company phones getting these messages.  Told by nextel that on the phone that I don't carry unlimited texting...  we would have to pay for these messages.  
They will try to get it stopped but whoever this is has managed to work around their spam blocker.  
Good luck with this.

Same thing happening to me.  The message I am getting says: "StateDepartmentFCU- deactivated your DebitCard. Call 8664035962 ToReactivate.

I also have Sprint / Nextel phone service.

Different phone number to call but same message, "State Department HasDeactivatedYourDebitCard. Call:2025912186 ToReactivate," came from alert@sdfcu.org

FirstClassAmericanCU has deactivated your debit card. To reactivate call:5107903641.      Its from a sprintpcs email address...but i have AT&T!!!

got the same call @ 530 am id like to know if these are grounds for cancelling my sprint account if someone @ sprint is selling our #s

I got this text at 1 Am in the morning, woke me up!!!! What the hell?? I also have a sprint-nextel phone.. Looks like someone at sprint is selling our numbers!!

My fiend told me about this but they have made a change its now First Class American CreditUnion-LOL not even smart enough to seperate Credit Union

yeah its a nextel message but I got it on my sprint phone- has anyone turned this over to the authorities?

Keeps texting to Nextel phone.
From: futqwn@cingularme.com StateDept DebitCard
iqwnwg@cingularme.com StateDept CU
dudzff@messaging.nextel.com
pqoqkd@nexte.com

All about same crap.

received several text messages and I want it to stop.

Its weird everybody that is getting them is on nextel... I just got one too. I submitted several fake card numbers and it keeps telling me that it's not correct. I am guessing that they do that and save the numbers that people type in. We should all overwhlem them with fake numbers so they have a bunch of worthless numbers...

We are getting them on our company nextels also. Who or what is it? Does anybody know? I tried calling from a landline and it was busy

Keeps calling, saying it's State Dept Federal Credit Union, and that they have canceled a debit card I don't own.

Got Text "First Class American Creditunion has de-activated your debitcard. to re-activated Call 877-427-2250" FAKE.

Just got my second text in two days from these crooks, on my company Nextel... The office manager just received her second text as well.
"SDFCU State Dept. FCU has deactivated your 4704-06 debit card. Call security Department 8774272250"

this time they said they are from the state department
they tried yesterday too, I didn't keep any information from that text

"First Class American CreditUnion has deactivated your debitcard.  To reactivate call:  8774272250"

That's the exact message I got.  It IS a scam, do not give out any info or even text or call back.

Credit union calling to say debit card cancelled.  These are thieves trying to get to your cash.  Do not respond.

Desgised as a credit union

Thank you for the information. I have the same issue, I just about to call the police.

got txt msg from jyjppy@messaging.sprintpcs.com "First Class American CreditUnion has de-activated your debitcard.  To re-activate call: 877-427-2250."

1)  I have never heard of that credit union
2)  I don't have a debit card with any credit union

I didn't call the number back, but feel certain its a scam.

time/date of txt msg:  2:25pm CDT on 15SEP09

1-877-427-2250 is a fraudulent phone number. They have been texting me the past 2 days saying that my bank has deactivated my debit card. When I called the bank to make them aware this was happening and they confirmed what I already knew. Your Bank will NEVER send you a text message about anything. If you get one of these messages always call the main bank number to confirm they are the ones trying to contact you and not the criminals that are trying to rip you off.
