Claim to be Franklin Bank, saying my card security (these criminals don't have good grammar) is about to expire and urge me to call this number.

Received a text message from "5000" stating "NOTICE. This is an automated message from Franklin Bank. Your card security is about to expire to resolve this issue please call us at 877-705-3619" I do not have an account with Franklin Bank and not sure how they obtained my cell phone number, which is area code 214 (Dallas, Texas), although I live in the San Antonio, Texas area.

I also received this as a text message on Wednesday, so did my husband (we share a family plan.) Although I figured it was a scam, I did call the number to see what would happen, before reporting them to my cell phone carrier. I got the same exact response as the first person who posted here did, a recording asking for a number. No identification and of course, no human answered. Please do the same (report this to your cell carrier), as this IS a scam. While you may not think you are affected, because you don't have an account with this particular credit union, others do and if you can spare a couple of minutes to report these scumbags to your cell carrier, you may be helping to stop someone from trying to scam/steal from others. Also, thanks to those who came here and posted about this number.

I received this text message on Wednesday stating the same thing. I figured it was bogus due to the fact they text me three times, the same message, within a half hour. I don't even have an account or credit cards with Vantage Credit Union.

I called and inputted a bogus cc # and it repeated my number back in an Australian(?) accent. There's no "Hi, thank you for calling Vantage Credit Union." It just goes right into asking for your cc #. I don't have account with Vantage Credit Union, but I was concerned because it is a credit union in my hometown of St. Louis. I think it's just a plain ol' phishing scam.
