My husband, son, and I all received text messages on each of our phones to say GATEWAY BANK ALERT. Your CARD starting with 4138 has been DEACTIVATED. Please call: 252-202-4907. When we called this number it told us to enter our account number. None of us have an account with Gateway Bank. The three of us are on the same cell phone account with different cell phone numbers. This has to be some kind of scam. I wonder where this text message really came from, and how it came that the person sending the text message had access to all three of our cell phone numbers. My advice is, if you have an account with Gateway Bank, don't call, don't enter your account number. You should always know who you are calling before you give out your account number.
