I received a text message 10 minutes ago from ‘3649′ that said:

12532511924@onlinebanking.com / / You have received a new message . Call now : 1 253 251 1924 to hear it.

After calling the number, a recording said my “bank account” was compromised and they need to verify some information after pressing the # key. The recording proceeded to ask me to enter my “Credit card” number and expiration date along with the CVV code on the back of the card then ended the call.

If you receive a similar message/call, DO NOT enter your credit card information. It’s an attempt to steal your credit card information and put you at risk for identity theft. DO NOT give away any of your information. Credit card companies and banks never ask for this information through text message/automated calls.
