866-215-8055

Got an SMS from from 650283@tmomail.net which reads Urgent: Keypoint-CU-Account Frozen. Call: 866-215-8055

I called, for the heck of it. An automatic system tried to prompt me to give my debit card information.

I just received similar text w/ same number, went to computer to see if it was some sort of scam - looks to be. Thanks!

I also just got this text message.

ALERT: Protect Yourself against SMS Phishing Attacks



T-Mobile is committed to protecting your privacy and security. It is also important that you take steps to safeguard your personal information from “SMiShing” (SMS & Phishing) attacks. “SMiShing” occurs when a fraudster sends you a SMS/text message, asking you to provide sensitive, personal and/or financial information via a web link and false website, or a telephone number.



Recently, fraudsters have been sending text messages posing as a customer’s financial institution. The message says that there is a “recent restriction placed on your account.” It may threaten dire consequence if you don't respond immediately.
The message directs you to a toll-free number that looks just like a legitimate institution’s number, but in fact it is not.Once you have called the number or clicked on the email link, they ask you to “verify” (give them ) your sensitive information such as credit card number account number and expiration date; your Social Security Number, Bank Account Number and pass code, etc.


Examples of fraudulent SMiShing messages:

Credit Union N.A. Please call us immediately at 1-888-xxx-xxxx regarding a recent restriction placed on your account. Thank you.
Alert!! Honolulu City & County Employees has limited your account pending verifications. Contact us NOW at 213-xxx-xxxx.


Steps to Take

If you receive a text message that asks for sensitive information:

Do not reply to the message.
Do not click on any of the links that may be embedded in the message.
Delete the message.
Contact your bank or financial institution directly to determine if they sent you a legitimate request. "

Got a sms (text message) from this number about five minutes ago. I knew it was a scam right away when I saw my area code then next three numbers @tmomail.net which is the e-mailing address at t-mob. They'd never mail you a sms. And if you're use to recieiving sms from T-Mobile they don't send it as Npa-Npxx@tmomail.net (XXX-XXX@tmomail.net) but thing like 456 or such. So I am not going to call the number but report it to Tmobile. And it does come as Urgent and says your account has been frozen.

I got one just like the others.  Called my bank on the number I have programmed in my phone just to double check.  Then I googled the 866 # that was on the SMS text and found this website.  Good try phishers... not this fool!

Just happened to me with Langley FCU.  It is a scam - do not call the number and give out any information.

just got it an hour ago..scam..

I received one that said my Langley account is frozen. I dont have a langley account. Idiots.

Just got this txt for Langley. I dont think they are open and txting me at 8pm on a friday night... fail.

just got this text saying my langley account was frozen, nice try idiots

Yea, I knew mine was a scam right away because I never signed up for sms alerts from Langley Federal Credit Union.

I got one too...lucky me, no langley account haha

Got the same Langley message.  No langley account here, knew it was a scam right away.  What has this world come to?

Exact Message is: 757339@tmomail.net / / Urgent:LANGLEY-FCU-Account Frozen.Call:866-215-8055

Asked for a call to the number..some b.s. about frozen account

Me too Me too! Everybody say me too about getting the exact same freaking message that everybody else got. Make sure your anonymous username gets the credit for tossing your two cents in that you got one too!
