customer issue, h&r block emerald card frozen, please call at 772 646 0611

I'm getting text messages from that number saying the same thing about some emerald card

"customer issue, h&r block emerald card frozen. please call at 518 261 8054"

It's a scam guys. Don't fall for the sweaty Nigerian shooting off texts from a grass hut in order to get personal info. If you didn't get your taxes done by H and R Block, or you did, but are not putting your tax return on an "Emerald Card" don't worry about it. Remember H and R Block will use an 800 number to contact you, and will NOT text you. If you are concerend call H and R Block directly, or the person that processed your return.

Latest Phishing Scam Relies On Telephone Calls
Scammers 'reaching out and touching' their victims


April 6, 2010
By now, most Internet-savvy consumers are wise to the spam emails that look like they are from a bank or financial institution, warning that prompt action is needed to avoid losing access to an account.
Usually that "prompt action" is supplying your date of birth, social security number, and all manner of personal information that could be used to steal your identity. When we see these emails, most of us simply ignore or delete them.
So scammers appear to have reverted to an old fashioned way to phish for information. They pick up the phone and call victims. In Pennsylvania, Attorney General Tom Corbett is warning his state's residents to be on the look out for these kinds of phishing calls.
"These bogus 'security alerts' typically warn that credit card or bank accounts may have been compromised and ask consumers to respond by 'confirming' or 'verifying' their account numbers," Corbett said. "The sole purpose of these calls is to convince unwary victims to reveal their account numbers and passwords so that thieves can steal money from their bank accounts or make large purchases with their credit cards."
Corbett said identity thieves are always looking for ways to disguise their schemes and reach out to new potential victims. In the latest scam, they use live operators and automated calls disguised as communication from banks, credit card companies or other legitimate businesses.
'Account security'
Corbett noted that the Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection has been receiving an increasing number of complaints about unwanted "account security" calls and messages all across the state.
He pointed out that legitimate businesses will not call or message consumers asking them to provide their entire account number, password or PIN number -- so any request for that level of detailed personal information should be a clear warning sign of a scam.
"While some businesses may contact consumers to alert them about potential problems with their accounts, they will not ask individuals to divulge all of their account information by phone or email," Corbett said. "If you do receive a message asking for detailed account information, contact your bank or credit card directly -- using the customer service hotline printed on your card or monthly statement -- to report the scam attempt and also to verify that your account is secure."
Corbett said that any consumer who suspects they have accidentally divulged personal information in response to a scam should immediately contact their bank or credit card company to stop any unauthorized withdrawals or charges to their accounts.

CROOKS DO  NOT FOLLOW ANY LAWS - why would they care are the DONOTCALL LAWS?  

COMMON SENSE ABOUT THE DO NOT CALL LAWS!
Also remember that illegitimate companies and scam artists won't respect these lists. Therefore once your enrollment goes into effect you should be extra careful of unsolicited telemarketing calls unless you know they come from a company with which you have a legitimate, established relationship

and of course - by not reporting these calls to donotcall.gov - YOU MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO DO ANYTHING  - ITS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!

I got a message from this number customer issue, eppi card frozen please call at 360-616-2449

Got a text message from "2543790003" (quotation marks were included in the ID which was my first clue).  The message read: customer issue, eppi card frozen. please call at 360 616 2449

Yeah, right.  Go find some other sucker.

Recived the call from the 254-379-0003 saying "customer issue, eppi card frozen and to call 360-616-2449" crummy people, do not call them!!!

Got a text message from 254-379-0003 stating: customer issue: eppi card frozen.
please call at 661-310-1181

I thought is was a scam because there was a + sign in front of my number which means they sent it to multiple call phones.

I hate people like this...

Yep, I just got one too with same information as yours. (recieved 4/12  at 5:48pm et)  There is indeed a + in front of my number so I am only one of many recieving it.  I didn't start getting these kinds of calls until I switched  to Boost/Nextel from Sprint/Nextel.
