@let the beatings begin:

Your trends are pretty much on the money, except it's not only Blackberry users that are affected - I got the message on a Samsung Moment.

But I am in Florida and do use Sprint.

Received a text message @ 6:55 on Dec 14, 2009 from:

9099: customer issue, visa service frozen. please call 303 325 7300

The funny thing is, I ordered stuff from ebay, and I did not even use a visa card.  I suspected that it's not right because if there is some
kind of activity on a credit card account, I receive a "phone call" from a customer service.  It's a big scam!  When you call the number they ask for your 16 digit credit card number, and if you say "talk to operator", it continues the same message.  DO NOT RESPOND TO THE TEXT!!!

Just got a call from 9099.
How can we get this phone number busted??? This is insane!!!

Sprint has nothing to do with it. It's more of a brute force phishing attempt

Received txt on my phone the call 303-325-7300 four days ago that my AMERICAN EXPRESS account is frozen. I was suspicious so I contacted  AMEX through my online account. They confirmed that is not their number... I just saw this site today.

If you have sprint you can block this short code number by reading this post.

I got a text from this number "9099", but the callback number was for an unlisted number in PA.  It was supposedly from a bank with whom I do not even have any accounts.  Did not respond.

I just got a text from 909-9 sending me my PIN and security answer stating "as requested".  I don't recall ever requesting this information nor am I familiar with the PIN .. obviously a phishing scam.
