    Online alert received from SFCU(Sentinel FCU): Your card has 1 been limited. Contact Activation Center 24/7 free 1-877-702-4706 1 to remove limitations Oct 6, 12:07:54 pm

I actually do have accounts with the CU, I did not call them back as I suspected a scam, the CU does not have my CP # only home #, so check my accounts, all is good, no messages on accounts on line, balances appear correct, and double checked by phone, same balances.

    My suggestion is not to call this # back.  I would block, but don't know how, so I'll just ignore, and file a complaint with the FCC

Received this number regarding my bank limitation.

We got the exact same message, now we're wondering the same thing...

We got it too. Wonder how they got our number?

I just got one of these texts. Said it was from sentinal fcu. I don't even have anything through that bank. Wonder how they got my cell number, cuz businesses shouldn't be handing it out. Ignore this message if you get it.

looked like a scam so I'm deleting and blocking the number

This is a typical attempt from scammers. They didn't even mention my bank name like they did in the text message. And the computerized voiced pretty much gave their entire plan away.  I purposely gave them a 55555555555555 number credit card number and pin code. Lol

I have no idea who this number belongs to but it had said it was my bank and that there was a problem with my debit card. I went to my online bank site and everything was fine. When I looked up this number, it indicated it was from India. SCAM!!!!! Do not call these people back. I have since blocked the number so they won't be able to do anything.
