RECENT UPDATES IN PHISHING SCAM:
Scammers are getting clever than before. They publish the text message through the phone calls and e-mails. One of the recent updated news today is as follows:
Jason Hicks says he received one on his company phone. He forwarded it to us.
It reads:
University Health FCU Has Deactive Your 4091-86xxxxx Debit card Call Security Department.
You’ll notice that the language isn’t exactly good English.
Jason says he called the number and got an automated message asking to input his debit card number. He knew better. Today we called the number and got a busy signal.
Of course, this message is not actually from the University Health Federal Credit Union. On the real credit union’s website they have a warning.
It says, if you receive a text message telling you that your check card information needs to be updated, please do not respond. If you have, please contact the credit union right away.
