877-228-7944

I received a text message regarding my chase account having restrictions placed on it and that I must call them immediately. I called back to see what the deal was , but it was busy. It's probably a scam so be careful everyone.

Same report as Joshua, text message on my cell phone 3.07pm Central Time 5/26/09 stated it was Chase re restriction placed on account. Chase does not have my cell number.  I am not returning the call.

Typo above - msg date 5/24/09

Just received a text message stating that I should contact Chase regarding recent restrictions placed on my account.  This is absolutely fraudulent as I do not have any accounts with Chase. Needless to say, please be wary of calling this number.

I just received the same text.

received text stating message.center@chase.com / CHASE.  Please call us immediately..... (Same as above)  Chase said that people are phishing for your info.  Do not respond.

I do have chase account and did recently sign up for text message alert. So when I called the 1877 number in a similar text message, thankfully call didn't go through. Then I called my chase bank and found that they didn't send the message. Definitely a scam .... Who can you trust these days...

I received this text message as well.  It is a scam.

I was sure it was a scam. Chase would never send a text message. I knew if I googled the number I would see that others were scammmed as well. The number was busy when I called too.

I just got thru to the number. It is definitely a scam. It is an automated service. The first thing it will ask you to enter is your card number, next it will ask for your expiration date, and then it will ask for your pin number...a scam for sure! I entered all zero's so I could go thru the process to see what all it asked for.

It is a scam. Just received the same text message, called the CSR and they told me its a scam. The number asked for account number, expiration date and PIN number. The same text message received by Washington Mutual account holder. Beware all!

I just received the same text message today, on Sunday of all days. I do not have a chase acct, so I know it is a scam.

sorry, caller ID was 3505

i also received this text msg on my phone today @ 4:47pm..  i immediately knew it was a scam but wanted to call to see if anyone picked up.. it was this cheap automated system asking for card number, expiration date and pin number.. i entered a bunch of made up numbers...  i hope someone can put a stop to this....  i was trying to find if i can atleast find the carrier of this number so we can report it to them.. but i was unable to find any info...  beware people!!

We received this same text message, called Chase and they confirmed that it is a phishing (sp?) scam targeting Chase and Washington Mutual customers.  Do not provide your info!

I also received the same text message today May 24, 2009, 14:47 from message.center@chase.com / CHASE
It is a scam. I even don't have a Chase account!

I just received this text from CITI Cards, which I don't have one.  It was asking me to confirm my phone number for MYCITI by calling 877-228-7944.  I received a message yesterday morning for CITI Cards stating the restriction being set up 877-284-0654 (from 3649).  I do not have a CITI card, so I wasn't sure why I received these.  When you hit zero which normally allows you to go to an operator, it keeps asking for your card number, exp date, and/or pin.

we contacted citicorp they said that it is fraudualnt. Do Not give information this is a scam to get your card numbers. We don't even have an account with these people.

Have been receiving daily calls from  1-877-228-7944 by "text messaging"  The call says it is Citibank and I have no account with Citi Bank.

Same here. I do not have a Chase card, yet they sent the text message alerting me that there were "restrictions" placed on my account. I dialed the number out of curiosity and couldn't get through ... a busy circuit tone, I think.

Nevertheless, it appears that the above are correct and that it is a scam. Surely Chase will chase them down?
