RECEIVED THIS SAME MESSAGE... "BECAUSE OF IRREGULARITIES FOUND IN SECURITY SYSTEMS, WE DECIDED TO STOP EMERGENCY CREDIT CARD NUMBER STARTING WITH 448380 FOR YOUR SAFETY CALL 1-919-481-9115."  ANYONE KNOW IF THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO AUTHORITIES?

received a text message on this saying due to repeated attempts to withdraw cash on your credit card we had to block your account.

Interesting. I just changed my card too because I misplaced the prior. The person who helped me was from India. Received the same message today

this is the correct answer...thanks for the report.

Probably someone with limited knowledge of the English language.

Got the Same message on both my home cell and my work cell and when you dial the number it informs you all will be handled by an automated system.  no operators are avail.. scam....

got it to, you lknow its a scam when they spell your "yourt" att told me not to worry about it

I received a text, not a call,  from*this number@txt.att.net saying my Federal CU card would be restricted if I didn't call the 919 number.  I called it, and was told call would be entirely electronic, that I could not speak to a person and was asked for my 16 digit card number.  I don't have a Federal CU card.

* (my iPhone shows that call is from 1-410-000-019 no, too few digits not a mistake )

Received the same message. FRM:19194819115@txt.att.net
MSG:Due to irregularities security systems, we decided to restrict
yourt Federal CU card. For your safety, call 1-(919)-481-9115.

Att told me to reply block. It scares me because i wonder how he got my number. This is my first scan. Thank goodness i don't keep any personal info on my cell. Thanks for posting this guys.

Forward the text to 7726:

Security company Cloudmark created a spam messaging reporting service that nation?s major wireless carriers agreed earlier this year to start using. Now, customers of AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint and others can forward their text spam message to 7726. The mobile phone carrier will ask customers for the phone number that?s linked to the spam message so they and Cloudmark can start investigating.

Just received the same message. Obviosly, it's a fraud. Will contact AT&T later.

Got the same message not only once but three times in one day! It's annoying!

I received the same message just 20 minutes ago. 3 am.

the text says " MSG due to irregularities security system, we decided to restrict your Federal CU card. For your safety, call 1-919 481 9115." . This is after hours on Sunday

Lol this a$$hole is trying to get people to call that number and put their credit card information. DO NOT DO IT! It is clearly a scam. What I have been doing is calling that number and giving him wrong information to make him think someone was dumb enough to fall for his trick. I would love to see his face when he tries to use the numbers for his scam to only find out is not legit. I will keep doing this and perhaps he will get tiredof all the wrong numbers being fake. If it doesn't get tired, then atleast it will annoy him as much as he annoys everyone with his pathetic scam. Kharma is a bit## and I know he will one day have to answer to his theft. Please report it!

Did a reverse look up after I got the message.  It is registered to Dean and Gary Murphy - 1140 Kildaire Farm Rd, Ste 300/307, Cary, NC 27511

Sent me a text saying exact  same thing as above message .....

I just got the same message. sent it to AT&T.

The text message said:

"Because of irregularities found in security systems, we decided to stop emergency credit card number starting with 448380. For your safety, call 1-919-481-9115."

None of my cards have that number sequence, and when I called the recording was too garbled, and I was not able to hear a single word.

Got the same message.  Must be some foreign scammer.  I don't have a "Federal CU" card.

received a message from this number saying "due to irregularities found in security systems, we decided to srop emergency credit card number (cont) 2 of 2 starting with 448380 For your safety, call 1-919-481-9115End).

Yep, I got the same text earlier today.  Just delete and move on...

Got this message about 9pm Sunday about my Federal CU card being restricted. I know that most Credit Unions are not open on the weekends and if that was true i would have gotten an email. I GOOGLED the number. Thanks for the information and also misspelled "yourt" and ATT....Thanks!

Thank you all. I got exact same message.  Freaked me out a little bit until I remembered my husband pays our AT&T bill, not me. Def a scam

I received a message from this number also it says due to irregularities security system we decided to restrict your federal cu card for your safety. who are this people can somebody report them to the authority

Received this msg also about calls ref. my credit card by text.  On 11/4 around noon.  Obvious it was spam.  No mention of which card or other details.  No company would notify us like this.  So many red flags.  Like the rest of you I googled the number - always a good thing to do to get the scoop from others.

got this at 8:45 tonight.  thanks for the posts warning us about this scam!  a variant of the message, but same weird English.

FRM:19194819115@txt.att.net
MSG:Due to irregularities security systems, we decided to restrict
yourt Federal CU card. For your safety, call 1-(919)-481-9115.

I got a message from 19194819115@txt.att.net - "Due to irregularities security systems, we decided to restrict your Federal CU card.  For your safety, call 1-(919)-481-9115"

The @txt.att.net threw me for a minute - but the text is so poorly worded that I figured it was a scam.

This number is not from USA. I am sure it's from India...
It's not (919)-481-9115...but +1-91-94819115, which I guess is cell phone number.

Thanks guys... I also got the message... I googled and found this thread... Thanks to you all.. I can safely ignore it...
