i received "an important alert on your account" sms message. I called the phone number and automated answer claims it is Bank of America calling about suspicious activity on my visa debit card. They ask you to put in your 16 digit debit card number.
The only problem is I have no accounts with bank of america.

To reduce the number of unwanted email and texts you receive, use these tips:

Be careful about giving out your mobile phone number, email address, or any other personal information.

Read through commercial web forms. Some websites allow you to opt out of receiving email from partners – but you may have to uncheck a preselected box if you want to do so.

Check for a privacy policy when submitting your wireless phone number or email address to any website. Find out if the policy allows the company to sell your information.

Do not respond to unwanted texts or emails from questionable sources. Several mobile service providers allow you to forward unwanted texts by simply texting it to 7726 (or "SPAM") to block the sender. Check with your  provider about other options.

Use a "junk mail" or "spam" email filter.

received text from this number???  no good

I got the same alert. Called it back and got the auto message about my "suspicious activity'" on my account. I don't have an account with bank of america. Most banks and credit unions call u when there is something fishy with your account and I mean a live person calls you. Guess the do not call list isn't working for me.

This is a fraudulent text. I have a bank of america account and instead of calling the number given via text - 712-823-0370 - I called my bank. They said this was not through Bank of America - and my account has not been locked.  Delete this text if you receive it.  I am forwarding it to BOA abuse@bankofamerica.com.
