My hubby got a text today (earlier in the morning) in his cellphone, .....
(while driving working for the company)
"8888745817@cuna.org
Credit Union N.A. Please call us immediately at 1-888-874-5817 regarding recent restriction placed on your account. Thank you. "
I'm glad he thought it was kind of weird, & called back that number with a *67 along with his (808) plus the 7 digit cell pnone number, & it said ...
"The number is temporary out of service use advisor pin code & press pound"
Thankfully my hubby didn't give any information out on his cell phone, but only called our bank- Credit Union to confirm, & I think the Credit Union said that they also got the same message, & said "to disregard the message, not to give your personal info, it is illegal & it is a scam , if they have a notice that they don't text people on their phone to let them know"
So, people, if you get the same message, make sure to confirm with your bank first!. And don't just panic, & start giving any old information away.
Please be careful & be aware first & formost!!.
Aloha.
