Community Driven Credit Union is a valid institution.  I checked their website an they are aware of the fraudulent phone calls and text messages.  I received a text message just 40 minutes ago.  I hope that the government will shut them down soon.

I am in Ann Arbor too, and have gotten these from several numbers.  Anyone know how to shut these people down??

My wife also got this message on the Nov. 17th. The area code is from Texas. We called our bank first and they obviously said it was a fraud. When I called the number it asked for my account number. I made one up, then it asked for my PIN to "ensure my protection". Right. So you give them this info and they clean out your bank account. I figured they have several lines, so I called 512-501-4760 to see what I would get. It's a similar automated system. We got another message from them the next day telling us to call 1800-299-7562. Has anyone gone to the police? Can they do anything? It is odd that a lot of people here live in or near Ann Arbor.

My 15 year old daughter got this message to call 253-242-8591 same message though.  Figured it was a scam right off the bat, but figured I would check online. I hope they get caught and strung up!

Funny, it seems like most people getting this message are from Ann Arbor, MI.
I am from AA as well.
I got the message yesterday which I ignored; and got another one today from the same people asking to call 877-384-5172 (Like Chris got).

Oh well, it should not take too long before these guys get caught.

I receive this msg in my txt box 10/17/2009 and receive another txt today from the same company with a different number (877-384-5172)

I go the same text as everyone else. I am a credit union member so it scared me for a few minutes before I looked at the area code.

Recieved two text messages fromt these people. I called back and tried to get an operator but the system just hungs up on you. This is most likley an over seas deal, meaning the FBI is no good here. There are lots of these scams. Just dont be stupid and give your information to anyone without verifing who you are talking too. Its that simple. Just make sure you tell your kids!!!!

I would expect that the phone number has been opened with a fake name for the purpose of getting credit card info. What they have planned for the info i dont know, but i am sure it is not legal. I would expect that it is one of those automated callers that text the same msg to all. In the hopes of some poor sucker giving the info they request when you call. There has to be someone on this list that has something to do with law enfforcement that can look into who this person/company is and grab them by there short hairs, throw them in a dark hole and lose the key.

Just got one as well.  What can we do to stop these guys?

I just got the same text message.

Got the same text as everyone else. Got similar messages before never from this number.

I got a text msg by this 512 501 4761 number as well. Since this is definately a phishing msg and looking to scam someone these people need to be shut down, but arrested, taken into custody and charged.
Someone needs to have a country wide clearing house that is run by the FBI or somebody that can put a stop to this type of thing.

Whatever dude.

Yup! me too!

Same thing, was a follow-up to a scam text I received from a different number yesterday.  I still don't have an account with "Community Driven C.U." so it's still an ineffective scam.

same thing  seems to be a follow up to another text I rec'd a few days ago

me too.  i would love to learn how to bust these folks

Same message here.

i got it as well...I have had my bank card copied before..and now my dad..these people are pathetic

Me too

I got the Same text!

Third text from these people.  Have no idea who they are.  Told to call 512-501-4761.  Which is a supposed card activation site, they then capture all your data and act like they are activating a card.  These people should be found and shot.

go f*** your stupid mother for reproducing another idiot!
