Got a real screwy text today from some credit union who I don't have an account with.

FRM:CREDITUNIONWEST-TEXT MSG:Credit Union West urgent security notification:unusual activity. Toll-free call 800 657 6034.

I called the number to see what it was, they said there was a problem with my account and needed my credit card number. I hung up right away and looked up Credit Union West. The first thing on the recording was about some spam text message going out and not to enter your account info but if you did stay on the line and they would try to help you. Wonder how many people were suckered into entering their info?

I'm liking it so far. Downloading the updated software to be able ti send MMS texts was a pain. The software has been out long enough, I think it should already be on the phone when you get it. But what do I know. I got the 8130 curve. Now if I could just watch videos, I'd be set.

Most reputable banks don't contact you that way. They'll have a message for you on your online banking home page. You did the right thing by hanging up.

Cris they talked about that scam on the news last night. Wow.

I got one a couple weeks ago...a guy called and said I had won a vacation...I said "whats the catch?". (I NEVER win anything). He got all pissed off and hung up the phone.

I googled the phone number and it was supposedly a scam where they tell you that you've won a vacation and ask for a credit card number to verify your identity....

The people that **** me off are the ones that call about your vehicle warranty is expiring. At first you get a recording but you can press 2 to speak with a customer rep.

I used to get those too. They would call my work phone number. Id press 2 to speak with a rep and yell at them and ask to talk to a manager and they'd act like they were going to transfer me and then hang up on me. I tried 3 different times. Because it was my work number, there wasnt anything I could do to keep them from calling.

Oh, they have been cursed a couple times by me! They call on my d@mn cell. My wife gets the calls all the time. I'm just waiting for the day I'm around when she gets one so I can have a little chat with them again. I have had her write down the times and the numbers that they call from and I've checked my bill(when I used to get the whole list of calls) but the numbers some how didnt show up on it.

I hate it when they do that. The only people I want calling me at work is my wife in an emergency, or my house alarm monitoring company.

Haven't got any on my cell phone yet.

I just don't get it, why all the scams. I know they are all scumbags looking to make money off of us but dammit get a read damn job and leave me alone. I can spend my money just fine, I don't need to hand it over to them. Just pisses me off....

I get really pissy with these people. I like when they call about the warranty on Troy's ride, I don't think they realize its an 89 Blazer If they want to warranty it, I am all for it, it needs some work
