text message telling me that my card has been DEACTIVATED and to please CALL to REACTIVATE my card.  This was from CP Credit Union, a bank I do not know or use.

I received the same text message. The number came up as unknown. The message read "Cambridge Portuguese CU Alert: Your CARD has been DEACTIVATED. Please contact us at 617-996-9021 to REACTIVATE your CARD."

I got the same text message as above on 2/18/09.  I don't have any banking relationship with any credit union.  I do bank with Bank of America and strangely, on the 18th, someone from Alabama used my debit card number to ship 23 next day air packages through UPS.Com.  I have no idea if the fraud alert text and the fraud were actually somehow related or just a coincidence.  In any case, if you get this text message, make sure to scrutinize your debit/credit activity at your actual bank.

I just received the similar text.

also, should add: the phone number it came from was 888-263-0282
