I just got a call from this phone number.

I received a text from an undisclosed number telling me my card ending with **** had been deactivated and I needed to call this number right away to reactivate my card. I ignored the text since it was obvious it is a scam. The digits were correct but in the wrong order also.

Thank goodness for websites like this. I just got the same message on my phone. I ALWAYS check it out first even though I never call them back. Thanks for the info, folks.

I got the same text that all of you have. I checked Southwest FCU's website and they said this:

VERY IMPORTANT - Vishing Scam
If you receive a telephone call or a text message to your cell phone, you are being vished! New Mexico is currently experiencing vishing scams. A vishing scam is a way to elicit either banking or credit card information from someone, which may then be used against that person. Vishing scam operatives WANT access to this information so they can gain access to credit card or bank accounts and clean out the funds. THIS IS A SCAM! NEVER GIVE YOUR INFORMATION OUT. Southwest FCU has security measures in place to ensure privacy and safety of the information you provide to us! We already know this information, so we DO NOT need to ask for it. To report a call, telephone the local police department and file a report.

Yep, got the TEXT too - twice. It is from 502 and read "RI FCU Alert: Your CARD starting with 4306* has been DEACTIVATED. Please contact us at 877-838-6734 to REACTIVATE your CARD." I wish there was a way to get them back for their poor attempt to steal info from people.

got same message too  1:00 in morning i knew it had to be a scam i  have no cards close to that #

On Sept. 22, 2010, at 2:55 AM I received a text: RI FCU Alert: Your CARD starting with 4306* has been DEACTIVATED. Please contact us at 877-838-6734 to REACTIVATE your CARD.

Of course I have not card with that number or bank. I never call these type of things back as they could be scams as this seems to be.

RI FCU Alert: your CARD starting with 4306* has been deactivated.
That is what I rcvd on my phone.....
Called the number using my house phone and got a message that did not say what company it was or nothing.  Just three options and one was to end the call.

I got the exact same text message - saying that my card 4852 had been deactivated and to call them.  Obviously, I won't be calling them.  Jerks!

I got the same thing.  Scumbags.

I called my bank and it is a scam to get your account # and security info. DON'T CALL THEM BACK.

I got a text message on my cell phone from this number stating my card 4852 has been deactivated.   I won't be calling them back

Sounds like. Guess I won't bite!

I also got this number texted to me with the same message. Suppose it is a hoax.

I got a phone message from this number saying that Southwest FCU (I assume that is Federal Credit Union) deactivated my card.  Credit card?? Debit card???  Don't know,...... never had any account with Southwest FCU or whoever they are.  The message wants me to call this number back.
