I have rec'd this 18888106944@cro.org/CUNA/ twice in the month of October 23rd and 24th 2012. Never seen this email nor web address and most certainly I never give businesses my personal number.  so far have not received anymore since.  And I have not applied to nor at anytime had any accounts with the companies mentioned above.

This phone/text number 888-810-6944 is the perpetrator of bank card & bank account fraud. DO NOT provide any information to this phone/text number. Please ignore it and feel free to report it as a fraud on websites like this one. If you have a concern about your bank card or credit card ? always call the support number printed on the back of your card.

I have two calls from this #...don't know why...did not call back

I start getting the same texts from the last few days it is definately scam make sure not to call or reply to this number and whenevr someone call you from a number you do not recognize DONT ANSWER THOSE CALLS

Times are rough folks, so you must realize that people are out to get your money any way they can. Don't make it easy. Internet scams are out there,phone scams too, everything you can think of is on someones mind trying to rob you,us of our peace of mind. The problem is...they can easily be caught but confusion is big money keeps folks working and on the job. Let's put them out of business...they don't care about you.

I know one thing about these texts I'm getting...they're crap!!!! plus you can not text them back.

I received 1 text from this number saying CUNA . 18888106944@cro2.org.

They keep sending me texts that say CUNA

I started getting these texts yesterday.  Thank you for the info.

I got the CUNA text that others reported.  However, I received this text within 15 seconds of a call from
561-309-1549 (I never answer calls unless I recognize the #) and wondered if they were related?  There were no reports on the 561 number.

I keep receiving the same messages with CUNA in the body. I am going to call T-Mobile and report as a phishing scam

I recieve 3 texts from this saying CUNA also. From 2 different emails first two were from 18888106944@cro2.org.... And 3rd was from 18888106944@txt.att.net.... Probably called but I don't pick up for numbers I don't know unless they leave name.

got this text.
don't know why.

receiving text messages reading CUNA idk but its annoying

Hey, i also received this text and when I tried to call it was disconnected. This is an ongoing phishing scam..

I just got a text from 888-810-6944 telling me that my ATM card needed to be reactivated.  I called my credit union and they confirmed that this is a phishing scam.  DON'T respond.

I called the bank I deal with and they told me this message has nothing to do with them.  Do not call this  number.  Just call your bank.  They're replacing my card too.

FedChoice has been fraudulently referenced in recent text message smishing scams which have been received via cellphone.Our IT department is diligently working to have the phone numbers shut down to protect our member?s information.

If you have responded to one of these text messages by calling the number and providing the information that is requested, please contact the financial institution that issued the card so that your card may be assessed for fraudulent activity. Steps may then be put in place to help mitigate any resulting damage.

Thank you for your understanding as we work to shut down the phone numbers associated with the latest series of scams.

I got a text from this place
FedChoice Federal Credit Union Mobile Banking Alert!  You must re-activate you FedChoice ATM credit card.  Call Toll free: 1-888-810-6944 and follow the instructions.

When I called to see who it was, it took me through a menu about store hours and invoices then hung up....now I'm afraid.

rec'd a text from this number- don't know what debit card they are talking about but am afraid to call the number

I received the same text message once last night at 12:15am and again this morning at 9:12am.  Not sure how to stop it, the phone number is only a recording asking to activate a card. Assuming this is scam for your debt card number, not clever...

Got the same picture message on my cell phone.  My debit card was just cancelled because of fraud   What a coincidence.

I got a message:

"FedChoice Federal Credit Union Mobile Banking Alert! You must re-
activate your FedChoice ATM credit card. Call Toll-free:1-888-
810-6944 and follow the instructions."

I just got the same call. I missed it so I called back. I thought it was weird cause it was in a picture message? I never heard of these people so I googled them. On their site they warn you about someone running some type of scam. I want to know how they got my number though. Really creepy.

Not sure who these people are. I do not have a crdit card with them.  Please stop this madness

I got one of these texts a few minutes ago - you can report these to the US Department of Homeland Security's Cyber security division.
This is the US govt. site to report phishing scams - report these kind of scams so they actually get investigated:

You can send an e-mail directly to them here:

Just got a text from this number.  Ironically, my debit card has been frozen all weekend by my financial (institution obviously for good reason), so when I got this text I thought it was legit and finally.  I called the number and it asks for your full debit card number, expiration AND the kicker, and how I knew it was fake, your 4-digit pin.  Yeah, your bank never asks for that.  Hopefully others will read this and BEWARE.  Hang up, report them, and don't put any information into the automated system.

FedChoice Federal Credit Union Mobile Banking Alert! You must re-
activate your FedChoice ATM credit card. Call Toll-free:1-888-810-6944 and follow the instructions.

Both my husband and daughter received similar texts to their cell phones.  We do not bank with this company, but if you call the number, they ask for your 16 digit card number, the expiration date and the security code.  It is clear that this is a scam phishing for your credit card information.

Law enforcement needs to get involved
