f***in scam artist, sick to death of them......

SCAM

yup totally bullsh!t. There is something similar goin on with Bank of America emails. They are done very well!! But I don't bank with them, I called them anyway and they verified that it is a scam. Be careful!!

text saying california credit union acct frozen. call 9726487269. scam!!!

yep
total scam... never had anything to do with them

This # was use for fraudulent activity by some hacker. This is actually our P# but we have no clued how they were able to use it.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience

california credit union got a text never called never beeninvovle with the company.got it from sprint with a 9099

Same thing.  Got a text message telling me my [nonexistent] California Credit Union account had been frozen.  At the same time, I got a message telling me the same thing, only directing me to call 520-334-1027.

The outgoing call problem lasted about 15 minutes - I guess it was unrelated. :)

just tried calling to cuss someone out or whatever, there's a message saying feds cut the phone line and then the msg explains phishing...

same exact text  as mentioned above...  

two different number listed:
972 548 7269
206 529 4843



i got it two days in a row. i am also w/ sprint. but i didnt have any problem making outgoing calls.
how do you get them to stop texting?

Just got a text message too; California Credit Union with a texas number to call back I thinks its definately a scam and with especially with the holiday with us it's a way if getting more money out of the consumer. I have no credit cards and... I HAVE NO BANK ACCOUNT WHATSOEVER!!

I have received the same message and I am with sprint as well. I deleted the message and suggest you ignore it.

It is a variation of a phishing scam AKA "Smishing" scam.  It is an attempt to steal personal information.  They request your Card Number, Expiration date, and Pin.  They are hoping that they stumble accross california credit union customers dumb enough to provide their account info.  Hackers are starting to do this instead of, and as well as email phishing scams...

Boom:

wants bank info

I just got the same text message. Unlike Amy, I am able to make outgoing calls. Apparently, the 972 area code is from Dallas Texas. I highly doubt a "California" Credit Union office is even down there.

I too have Sprint(coincidence?). A few tip-offs that this is a telemarketing scam would include:
-A coroporation as awe-inspiring and powerful as the california credit union would generally use regular mail - perhaps even email - to inform its customers that their service has been frozen.
-Such a large and important organization generally capitalizes its name (even if it did happen to choose to communicate using text messaging
-If the california credit union existed and, as its customers we pissed it off somehow, it is doubtful that the company would freeze our service; it's more likely it would freeze our accounts
-And finally, I do not have an account at anything calling itself the california credit union; the only service they provide me is more of an anti-service, in the form of annoying text messages

I got the same message just now - and I'm not able to make any outgoing call on my phone now.

The call said "customer issue, california credit union service frozen. please call 972-548-7269".

i think its a scam

I got the same. It is probably scam.. I received the same message also from 206-529-4843

I received the same text twp days in a row. I don't even know who California Credit Union is.

I recieved a message on my Sprint Phone stating "customer issue, california credit union service frozen. please call at 972-548-7269"
I'm positive this is a scam. I was kind of worried since my job does use California Credit Union. But the grammar was just as I wrote it above, so not very professional.
