Text on cell phone that my WELD account is locked due to unusual activity. Don't know what a WELD Account is and do not have one. I dialed the number that was left to call back to from a land line and just kept ringing.

FOOTHILLS: Account has been restricted.

Don't know what that means.

Received text message that said " Hi. Our records indicated that your 1st CITY C.U. account is restricted. Contact at (877)874-2070" Obviously a phishing attempt.

I got the same text, called tmobile. yes, it is a phishing attempt. Interestingly, it coincides with tmobile changing their policies and texting easypay customers a confirmation #. So I got a text confirming payment from my bank account followed by the phishing text saying my account was restricted. At any rate AVOID CONTACT!

Yep - I got it too.  "Hi. Our records indicated that your 1ST CITY C.U account is restricted.  Contact us at (877)874-2070   This is the third such message i've gotten in the last couple weeks.  They are all from tmomail.net

Notice of Limited Credit Union Account. Contact us at 877-874-2070 to solve issoe

I also rec'd these text messages over and over again. Very frustrated. Got it all situated today, though- thanks to a very helpful T-mobile rep.
T-Mobile showed me how to stop getting them. Come to find out, these thieves are simply using the email address that is for each individual t-mobile customer: 513-xxx-xxxx@tmomobile.net (if you have a t-mobile phone number, you have a t-mobile email address that receives incoming emails as text messages).

She walked me through this process:
Log into My T-Mobile Account
Go to "Connect and Share"
Click on "configure email"
Then, click on "Change My Phone's Email Address"
I put in something obscure so I won't have this problem again.
Finally, for a little extra protection, you can also click on "email filters" and press yes to "Block all messages from E-Mail to handset"
Hope this helps out!

On 8-29-2009 at 1:24pm I received the following message:: 401@tmomail.net Message from Foothills Account has been restricted for   Reactivation Call 877-874-2070.

But I have also recieved messages from 877-549-3563, 877-847-4003, 877-801-7433, 877-671-7185, 866-363-3933, 18157682842@inbox.com  I have been literally inundated with these types of calls since August. Contacting T-mobile can not accommodate my services on my cell as use the text messaging and pictures in my line of work.

I think that these sons of Britches should be trapped and caught in their own little tangled web of deceit. And even at that it would be to good for them

T-Mobile will block them for you. Just call

I called T-Mobile and had all text messages blocked (pictures etc). If you text you will continue to receive this "CRAP" but since I don't text these scam texts has stop. It's the only way till someone catches them. They are probaly overseas.

foo@tmomail.net (1866-392-5647) Urgent from CU (I went to CU Boulder)
900@tmomail.net (1877-801-7483) Account suspended.
cu720@tmomail.net (1800-915-2785) Credit Union account suspension.
8584300286@read.com (1858-430-0286) New Credit Union message.
sms@tmomail.net (1877-847-4003) Visa "Pending Authorization Notification"

Sometimes I called after a week or so, and the number they listed in the text message no longer available. And I got all these messages within 1 month. How stupid! So sick of these text messages! Everytime they use a different number with a different email (tmomail) address~

I've received at least 3 texts over the past month or so.  All say something about a problem with my "Foothills" account (no idea what that is) and I should call them.  How stupid do they think I am?

I originally got a text message 3 days ago from 7991@tmomail.net saying, "Our records indicated that your FOOTHILLS account is restricted.  Contact Us At (800) 932-2209"
And another text a few minutes ago from 719@tmomail.net saying, "We found a problem in your Foothills account.  Call urgently at 877-874-2070"
Getting 2 different numbers inspired me to look them up online.
What really pisses me off is that these people costing me extra money since I don't text and therefore don't pay for text message bundles.  I don't need this to be a recurring issue.

I got a text from this number, said there is a problem with my credit union account, please call this number, i called from my land line and got a recording saying due to network difficulties my call did not go through.  I'm not calling again.

I got a text from this number saying: Hi. There is a problem with your Credit Union account. Call urgently T 877-874-2070.  I don't belong to a credit union.  This is the wild part:  I got a phone call this morning and a recording said there was fraudulent activity on my credit card to reactivate press 1 to leave press 3.  I missed what company they claimed to be calling from so I pushed 3 and nothing happened.  BUt when I called the number back (the called id said Ontario) a recording came on that said "Hello to the world"!!???  NONE of this pertains to me or any credit card I have. Such sneaky scammers!
