Subject : 1st Financial Federal Credit Union Verification Notice was at the top of the page.

I do not have, nor have I ever had, anything thru this Credit Union. I realize it is fraudulent e mails going out on your company - and thought you should know about it. Please do reply to this e mail so that I know that you received it.

dont call the number back.  It's most likely a way to either a) route you to an international termination and therefor charging your international connection rates or b) a phishing scam where they will try to obtain your card number, pin and personal information so that they can charge purchases to it.

Text message from 877-823-0477@1stfinancialfcu.org saying to call immediately about my atm/debit card. I don't know them and don't have any card with them. The text message came to my cell phone, but I never text (don't know how) and don't even tell anyone that I have a cell phone. Maybe it's a wrong number or a sales pitch? It's after midnight now, so I'll try calling in the morning.
