I got a text message on 12/15/08 at 3:46am saying exactly what is listed above:  "Notice / This is an automated message from Bank-Fund Staff F.C.U. Your ATM card has been suspended. To reactive call urgent at 1-909-978-6050"

got a text msg saying "Notice / This is an automated message from Bank-Fund Staff F.C.U. Your ATM card has been suspended. To reactive call urgent at 1-909-978-6050.

My question is, Does T-mobile give out lists of numbers?  Seems I get a lot of scam text messages on this carrier.  Not on Verizon.

I called T-mobile and complained that I not only received this fraudulent text message but also that I now have to pay T-mobile for receiving a text message. T-mobile told me they were unable to help me and I should call the police! They said their fraud dept. only deals with messages that pretend to be from T-mobile customer service. The rep said perhaps the message was meant for whoever had my cellphone number before me. I said that was not likely since many others have reported this scam message and I've had this cellphone number for several years. I also don't understand how the message got through to my cellphone since I've set up a filter blocking all text messages. The text message from caller 5000 reads: "Notice/ This is an automated message from Bank-Fund Staff F.C.U. Your ATM card has been suspended. To reactivate, call urgent at 1-909-978-6050."

I got the same text today, but it gave me 1-202-729-8214.

Just got the text message last night at around 1030pm.  I contacted my cellphone provider.  They are aware, but unfortunately they are unable to block the sender from doing this.  The best thing to do, is to keep reporting and do not give out any information.  :)

fbi was interested when i called.
call your local fbi office and turn up the heat, let's watch the phisher squirm like a worm on the evening news  :)

got the same text msg ........ t-mobile says they've been trying to alert people not to reply but cant figure out where it's coming from and it's definitely a  phish

got a text msg saying "Notice / This is an automated message from Bank-Fund Staff F.C.U. Your ATM card has been suspended. To reactive call urgent at 1-909-978-6050.

what the hell is this. Please if this is a scamm!!! someone have to do something with these people to stop sending this type of message

Just received the same text message.  Funny thing is I needed a new ATM card and thought it was strange to receive this text.  Lucky I googled the number.

Does anyone know what this is? I just recieved the same thing.

THIS IS A SCAM!!!! DO NOT PROVIDE YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER!! If you receive this message report it immediately to both your phone carrier as well as your local police/sheriff department and/or the FBI. If you call the numebr given it asks for your 16 digit bank account number. The number is distributed by Mpower Communications Corps in Diamond Bar, CA, but listed as "unpublished".

Received scam message (according to phone) at 10:19am 12/17/08

I received a text message at 10:14pm ET
on 12/17/08.  I have typed it exactly as it appears in my text (punctuation and spacing mistakes included, which by the way are almost always sure detections that an email or text is spam).

Notice/This is an automated message from Bank-Fund Staff F.C.U. . Your ATM card has been suspended.To reactivate call urgent at 1-909-978-6050.

Yes I had the same messege on my phone. Bank card suspened and I had to call that number.  From 5000

it's a phishing scam ...... t-mobile don't know where it's coming from as of 1am est.
most likely if you call it back from your cel phone your number will be  cloned.
i called the fbi  and they sounded interested, go ahead and call your local fbi office and get the heat turned up on this nationwide scam.
fbi.gov worked for me

Omg, I just got the text at 10:15, I think this person getting everyone that has T-Mobile service, My bank would call me and not text, glad I fully verified the number, by coming here....

I just received a text that came up from 5000 and it stated that my bank card was suspended and to call this 909# to re-activate.  I also have T-Mobile.  I believe this is a scam and I think they will get your info, probably try to create a bank card and take your money!..  Please warn all seniors or anyone as they can be vulnerable to scam artist like this!

I just received the same message and yes, I have T Mobile.

Recv'd call 12/17/2008 3:13pm PST "Notice / This is an automated message from Bank-Fund Staff F.C.U. Your ATM card has been suspended. To reactive call urgent at 1-909-978-6050"  I also have T-Mobile.

Also got a text from this number saying my ATM card was deactivated.  I'm on T-Mobile too.  And my ATM card is fine.
