866-852-0643

Received text message standing Visa ----  account frozen please call 1-866-852-0643.  I have no Visa account with that number.

I just received a message stating my Visa account was frozen.  I don't have a Visa account ending in the number given.  Same number as the other person 866-852-0643.

i just got the same ting... when you call they want you to enter in a visa number DON'T DO IT!!!!!

just got this text too from 0000000000 it says something about internetadvertisingcorp.com and account frooze. they also sent me a text in january about norman@doorautomation.com

I got the same same message texted to my cell today.

Same message as others re. visa acct frozen.  I called it from another number out of curiosity - automated message asks for credit card number, bank number, etc. and keeps repeating over and over if you give it an invalid number (e.g., 12345678790123456).

i just recvd the same message.  i called the # and was told to enter my visa debt card #.  DID NOT DO IT

recvd a text message that said visa account frozen

Same exact thing.

They are definitely trying to get CC info.  DO NOT RESPOND or Call the number on the back of your card to verify your account is not frozen.

Same here. Suggest reporting this to BBB and State Attornies Office.

Received text through Sprint saying "VISA alert #64190". We all assume that's an account number, but it's ambiguous.  It's too bad Sprint can't use some CAPTCHA or other means to reduce the spam, since each message costs me $0.20 plus tax.  Might be helpful if people would post their service provider so we can see if there is a pattern.

Automated attendant asks for sixteen-digit Visa or debit card number.  I gave them a closed account.  Although it said it would request two forms of identification to link the account, it only asked for ATM PIN.  So I gave them one.  Good luck with that account, kiddies!

Don't try this at home--I am a trained professional...and I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night....

Service provider - AT&T

Same thing. Use T-Mobile for wireless service. When I received the message, it shows as coming from 3693, instead of 123-456-7890. That usually means that it is a message from my provider. They like to text and remind me to pay my bill and things like that. I called the 866 number and got the same recoding.
Is this a regional thing? I am in the Midwest with 618 are code.

Got same text early this morning, figured it was a fraud.  It's sad to think how many people would enter their card number.  I did have a fraud alert on a card a couple months ago but called my credit card company directly to deal with it.

Use ATT, received text message with an account frozen alert (#64190) on 5/27/09 at 8:53 am EST.

Got the same call this morning (05/27/09).  Will try reporting to the do not call registry.

My service provider is AT&T. This morning at 7:50 am CST I received the same text message with the same alert #64190. Figured it was a scam.

just got it this morning.  looked like this:

From: 1010100001
FRM:SERVICES
MSG:VISA alert: #64190
ACCOUNT FROZEN, call us at 1-866-852-0643

complete scam (social engineering hacking).  i didn't respond or call back of course.

It's a scam to get your account numbers!!!!
Same text as above at 5:53 AM  (west coast)
