text message from 619840123@vtext.com  (missing one number for some reason....)

Contact US Bank, 888-344-3841 blah, blah, blah....   took a while to contact Verizon to report fraud messages on their system.

888 483-7200 is C/S for reporting Verizon fraud...

This is a scam from NIGERIA they said WELLS FARGO- a bank will NEVER email you, text or call you requesting information-they have all your information.

I got two texts from 6199934@vtext.com.  First said US Bank and the second Bank of America, both using the same 888-344-3841 callback number.  Called the number after the first text,and got a recording to enter my SSN. I tried texting back the original message, but it was returned as an error, invalid user info.  SCAM!  Forward these emails to spam@uce.gov,  Part of FTB.org

Received a text message from 6198203@vtext.com. Message said U.S. Bank Urgent Notification. Call (888) 344-3841. Figured it was a scam of some sort. Just ignored and didn't bother to call.

U.S. B a n k U r g e n t N o t i f i c a t i o n. C a l l: (888)344-3841

Same message except it identified itself as US Bank.  Asked to entered the social security number. I  dialed 0 (zero) to connect with customer service and it recycled to the same message.

Get a fraud alert placed with the major credit bureaus (google and call them). Monitor your credit lines to watch out for new accounts.

Got a Vtext Text from 6198203@vtext.com. It said U.S. Bank Urgent Notification. Call: 888-344-3841. I of course DID NOT CALL. First clue--They aren't even my bank, second--it came from Vtext. Third--it gave a number not linked to U.S. Bank. NEVEr ever call one of these numbers back. Scammers=dirt bags

I began to fall for it because i actually do get notifications from my bank, and also from my phone company which is verizon and my number is very similar to the the number it came from. But in all seriousness, does anyone know any protective measures I can take. as far as my SSN goes?

I started to fall for this and I'm afraid they have my SSN. That's as far as I got before I realized it wasn't my bank.
Please don't judge me, but is there anything I can do at this point in time to protect myself?

Got one.. texted back that they were being monitored by the Fraud Hotline

Yup US Bank here.total scam.

I just got one 10 minutes ago - also from US Bank - actually has to laugh at how bad the recording is. Total SCAM and FRAUD. DO NOT fall for it. The first clue was the text came from 6198203@vtext.com - a legit bank would NEVER send a message from this type of address.

Call all your credit card companies, credit agencies and banks- they have your ssc now and can use it however they like. Rule of thumb, always call your bank first if you get these things. NEVER give your SSC or debit cards to unknown persons or recordings.

Just got the same thing from US Bank.  I don't have a card with them, just a car lease.  I hung up as soon as I heard it.

Today seems to be U.S. Bank day  got the text about 5 minutes ago.

I just got a text from that number as well...from U.S. Bank.  We have an account with them, and I ALMOST fell for this, as we have had several problems with them this past year.  

My Text was for US Bank Urgent Notification.
After seeing this, I'm deleting & forgeting.

Got a text from 61989021@vtext.com said U.S. Bank Urgent Notification Call 8883443841....no way

Just got a text from US Bank SUPPOSEDLY.....I do not have an account with them. DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR INFO...THIS IS A SCAM SCAM SCAM

You other posters must have done a good job, I got this today but now its says U.S. Bank urgent notification... Which surprisingly (sarcasm here) I do not nor have not ever had an account of any kind with US Bank.

I just received a text from this same number, only it was supposedly from US Bank. TOTAL SCAM

Same call asked for personal info.

FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD!

This number texted  my cell number from this number saying they were Bank of America and to call. When I called back I got an automated recording and yes I was one that gave them my info?. First they asked me for my SSN and then they asked for my card info ? same thing ? I was actually able to text message the number back for several hours until they shut the V-Text down which they have linked to the 888#. Per Bank of America this is not them and they were not trying to get a hold of me.

When they originally called yesterday the recording said they were Bank Of America. Today I called before I checked on here and the recording said Wells Fargo.

Scam. Scam. Scam. Report them and get these a-holes shut down.

I got the same text and called the number and got the same response. Hung up when asked for social. I don't have a texting plan so have to pay for this scam.

got a text from v txt telling me to call 888 344 3841. don't do it, it's a phishing call

Received a text with an 888 number, identifying as Wells Fargo.  Since I do not have a Wells Fargo account and the text number was bogus, I checked this website.  Sure enough, there it is.  Don't reply!

Wells Fargo Verification Message via txt came to my cell # and asked to activate my card and enter social #...SCAM people please be smart and don't give such information out. This # 888-344-3841 is not for wells fargo when I don't even have a Wells Fargo account.

Received text on my phone to reactivate a Wells Fargo card that I do not have. Shady automatic recording asking me to verify my identity starting with my SSN. I hung up.

Recieved a text from wells fargo saying my card was deactivated. I called back it asked for my ssn. Thinking this was legitimate I gave my info. It kept me in a loop saying I provided invalid info. I hung up. I called wells fargo customer service and was told my card was fibe. My daughter looked on line and found this info. What do I do now?
