I got a txt from Washington postal worker.

From: 1234

MCCCU reports this is a scam on their website.

I happen to live in Monroe County but I am not even sure if there is a credit union by that name.  I just deleted the text.

What bank would ever send a text message to a customer?  Ridiculous.

Just got the text: This is an automated message from Monroe County Community C.I. Security Department, regarding your account security. Please call urgently at 877-897-1953

Called the number and it asked for your card number. Absolutely a scam.

I also received a similar scam text.  The number is now reporting itself as disconnected.  Don't forget to lodge an FTC complaint at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ as law enforcement does keep an eye on issues registered there.

Yep, I just got the same one from "Monroe County Community C.U."

Totally ridiculous

rec a text that stated:this is an automated message from KCT Credit Union Sec Dept, regarding your account security Please call urgently at 877-897-1953

just got one that said from KCT Credit Union - same gist as everyone else call this number urgently regarding issue with my account security.

Definantly a scam, I just got a text not long ago telling me there is an issue with my account at Arrowhead C.U., which I don't have an account with and it was odd the number was "1234"...

This is definitely a phishing scam phone number.  If it's been running for over 16 hours, I'm incredulous that nobody's been able to shut it down.  I got one 40 minutes ago to call regarding my account with Arrowhead C.U. in SoCal ... I don't even have an account with them.  I reported it to them and they're calling their fraud department, but people are moving very slowly on getting this number pulled.

I got the same message, Washington Postal Employees.  I called the credit union and they said it was fraudlent and to call the police.  Call the police, they told me to change my number and call the number from another phone and see what the company was.  I did just that and it is to a card activation company. Sad nothing anyone can do.

I just called and it wanted me to activate my card... enter your card #; enter your expiration; enter your PIN... i had none of these and it goes back to start.

just got this too; never heard of em... kinda wanna call and f*** w/ em

I jus got text message on cell phone that "Message from Washington Postal Emloyees Regarding a recent restriction placed on your accunt. Please call immidiately at 877-897-1953"

I got the same message as MHP, dont call it as it is a card activation number (called it from a work phone to see) definitely a scam as i have no account nor am i a postal worker.

Just received the same as KDR above -  

I just got following text message:
Thi is an automated message from washington postal employees regarding a recent restriction on your account. Please call us immediately at 1-877-8971953.

I received the washington postal worker text too.

Recieved the text-message:

This is an automated message from Washington Postal Employees regarding a recent restriction on your account. Please call us immediately at 877-897-1953.

Not a postal employee.
Nor do I live or work in Washington.

Scam Fail.

I just got following text message:
Thi is an automated message from washington postal employees regarding a recent restriction on your account. Please call us immediately at 1-877-8971953.

They also sent me a text message saying that there was a restriction on my credit card.  they didn't say which one.  when i called the number it asks you for your credit card number, your pin,...  but they don't say what company or what bank they are!!  be careful definetely a scam. do not enter your information.

i just got the same call saying it was from washington postal workers and that it was regarding a recent restriction on my account.

i just received the same txt message . i dont have a clue of what it could be but im definitely not calling it back !

this is an automated message from COFFEE COUNTY BANK Security Department, regarding issue with you card. To resolve it please call at 877-897-1953... Also, my girlfriend just got one as well, the same message... Please be aware that these are scams... People you should not call the number as some numbers charge you upwards to $2,000 a minute on the line. Just an FYI!!!

I just got a text saying that there was a problem with my card from a bank that I don't even use

Received a text at 6:01 PM 10.12.09 stating a security problem with card at Coffee County Bank and to call 877.897.7953 Hmm, we are nowhere near Coffee County and no issues with our cards. In addition our banks do not have our cell number anyway so no one would know to text us - SO this is likely a scam!

they sent a text saying there was a problem with .y card and they wanted me to call 1-877-897-1953.
