Both my husband and I received text messages last night with  the same  "CARD SERVICES ALERT" Your card has been deactivated.  Please contact us at 360-489-7217" message.

It sounded fishy, so I waited till this morning to call from work...when I did, it was answered by a machine asking me to input my "16 digit card number".  Right, like I would just GIVE out that number an entity I don't know.

There must be a way to actually find out who is behind this scam and pull their plug.

I got a text at 8:31 pm last night too..."EVERGREEN DIRECT C.U. ALERT: Your CARD starting with 4492 has been DEACTIVATED. Please contact us at 360-489-7217."

My wife and I received the same text on our phone's with in 2 minutes of each other. I wonder if it is the cell provider or who we bank with. We belong to Verizon and a small Credit Union here  in Washington.

total scammer

Did you guys respond to any CL ads before you got the txts?  I'm assuming that's how this idiot got ahold of MY number...
