Just received a phone call from UNKNOWN, stating my Merrit bank credit card was locked, SInce I dion't have a card, I played along and was instruicted to enter my 16 digit card number.  I hung up, but now I wish I had punched in 666 666 666 666 66. :-)

I am getting the same thing and I do not have a bank account or a credit card. I think they figure since most people do have credit cards and use banks that they are likely to get quite a few people who fall for it and give out their information. They just text everyone I guess and know they will find at least a few naive ones.

I received a text message from this number, in the text was from First Merit, saying my card was locked.I received 4 of them within 3 hrs.

Thanks for the input stay blesses gota go .by

That makes sence i never thought of it that way?

DEAR, MASTERCARD CUSTOMER YOUR CARD HAS BEEN LOCKED.CALL347 338 3326 to unlock it.but when i call it to do it ,the number dosenot aloud from this phone.help i need to unlock my card .i have to call these people.do they have another number besize5302303635?

I got a text saying, Dear Mastercard customer your card has been locked. Call 3473383326 to unlock it.  Right away I knew this was bogus but called the number just to see what it said.  A recording comes up saying to enter your credit card number.  I hope no one falls for this.

They sent me a text that my Mastercard had been deactivated & that I should call them.  Of course I don't have a Mastercard so I knew it was a fake.

go to this website & report them, it links directly to the FBI, I'm sure if they're posing as FBI Agents, the FBI would want to know!

Been getting them all morning. Of course it's a scam whenever you get texts like this it's always someone trying to get your info. I'm just irritated as hell that they keep coming through and since my phone is unable to block when I place the blocks on the incoming text, most likely the carrier cannot do it from their end.

What I would like to find out is the common denominator amongst all of us that would shed some light on how these jerks got our cell numbers. How many people here at one time had a mortgage through Countrywide (if you didn't know there was an executive who took off with all of our info a few years back and CW tried to keep that very quiet). Zappos is another site that got hacked--but I ususally don't provide my phone number on those sites so I'm thinking it's not from that.

This is a scam.  These scammers put the cell phone numbers on  "autodialers" in hope that someone will respond to them with the card number.  Don't do it!  They will start charging your account.

To everyone thinking the people that are texting us or calling...do you really think they come to this site just to read something like "I'm going to sue you a***oles," and "no way to speak to anyone F...Y..., you a holes???" Are you people that f ucking stupid? No one is reading this site except other people. Now stop complaining and f ucking call your cell carrier and block them!!!

Received a text message saying "Dear Mastercard customer your card has been locked. Please call 3473383326 to unlock it." Called number, recording asked me to enter card number. Didn't do it. Hope no one else does either. No way to speak to anyone. F... Y.., you a..holes.....

I rec'd a text- MASTER-MESSAGE: Card locked. Call 3473383326 to re-activate.
I called and got a answer machine. I hung up... lies...lies I should of known to google the number first!

tmobile here as well...message read as follows: MASTER-MESSAGE.Card Locked. Call 3473383326 to re-activate." I don't have a mastercard, its a scam. How do people get our numbers??? Maybe they enter random a** numbers. Its sure to be costing these people money to text all of us today.

recived a call from 720.262.6671 to call another number 347.338.3326  re activate my master message card.. obviously this is a scam since i dont have a master card with any bank or vendor

these type of calls are common now adays.. best thing if you dont know the number calling or it loos like a scam it probably is and you shouldn;t ever call it back


there is an app for you android that allows you to block unknown mumbers by entering the number in question into the app you can block any number that you do not wish to receive calls from simply by entering the number into it

the app is called "call filter"  just install it to you cell phone and use it asnytime you get a call from a strange number.. its a blessing from heaven and it works like a charm Just search your Market for the app and good luck,

JUST REC THIS TEXT, CALLED MY CREDIT CARDS NO LOCK ON CARDS, THIS IS JUST WRONG.

I am SO GLAD I checked this call back number.  My husband and I just got the same message.  We couldn't figure it out, and I wasn't going to call back without checking.  I am also a Tmobile customer.

Just received a text from
This number as well and I am a t mobile customer...
SCAM!

I got a text from 1(720) 262-6671 telling me saying: MASTER-MESSAGE. Card Locked. Call 3473383326 to re-activate. I don't even own a masters called and when I called the number it went straight to this lady's voicemail and her name I believe was Melissa. The number's from Aurora, CO.

My cell phone was getting texts between 01/26/2012 and 01/28/2012.First call came in from 707-955-3042 claiming my H & R card was locked, then three from 347-338-3326 saying my 1st Midwest card was locked and then 2 more from 919-249-5382 saying my 1st Merit card was locked. Too bad for them I don't have any of these cards. Plus any decent bank wouldn't text you.

they texted me twice, once saying Dear Mastercard customer, your card has been locked, Call 347-338-3326 to unlock, then saying Dear First Merit customer you card has been locked, call 347-338-3326 to unlock.  All Baloney.  When you call the #, it says the mailbox is full.  What's the point of all this?

Received same text message on my T-Mobile phone supposedly from HSBC. This is a scam! Do not call.

Just received a text from these people myself. Number sending the text was 1-510-872-5347. The message itself states "h-s-b-c-message please call 3473383326".  As I do not deal with banks, loans, or credit cards, and do all my business in cash, I find it hard to imagine that HSBC or any other bank would need to talk to me.  It is good to know I am not the only one being bothered by these people though.

Received text message from 347-338-3326 saying debit card was locked, DO NOT enter info into the number that called you, it's a scam!

Text msg on T-Mobile phone saying Bank of America credit card acct is locked.  Suspected mischief immediately since I don't have a BofA credit card (but did long time in the past).

I received text message: please call 347-338-3326.
I never answer text messages or phone nos.
I don't know. Glad I looked it up!

I received a text message on my cell phone from 347-338-3326 that said "Dear Mastercard customer your card has been locked. Call 347-338-3326 to unlock it. They called my number shortly after but did not leave a message.

The Text came from this # 510-872-5347 asking me to call this # 337-338-3326. Very annoying, I don't publish my cell # but seems like i've been getting a spike in unwanted calls and text to my #

SCAMMERS. They want credit card info from bank i am not at.
