***SCAM ALERT*** via text [e-mail] a new security message. call now toll free to hear it.?

Question

SCAM ALERT
I received a text message asking to contact this number. Text message states
"[e-mail]/ / You have a new security message. Call now toll. free: 1 813 862 0446 to hear it."

I called the number, but blocking my number, it is an automated system stating someone is attempting to access your account info from India. asks you to press # to continue. Then asks you to input your 16 digit credit card info. I hung up at this point.

I recommend against anyone puting their credit information, I believe this is a credit scam. I will be reporting it asap along with trace info.

Answer 5

My daughter and I each got this same message with the same information as "3608" within an hour of each other. She has a different T-mobile account than I do. And neither of of us had done anything via the phone or online to update our plans. So I don't think it was that activity that instigated these evil people's contact with you. Sure wish I knew someone who could actually do something about creeps like this.

Answer 6
