Text Message Scam (07/30/09)

Alliant Credit Union has been informed that a text message is being distributed to random cell phones with a message informing them there is a security message from their credit union. The message then instructs the recipient to call a phone number where they can enter personal information, such as their account number or credit/debit card number for security verification.

This is a fraudulent text message and phone number that have been setup to steal account information from financial customers. There have been reports that other financial institution’s customers and members have been receiving the same text message.

Example of fraudulent text message:

Alliant Credit Union will never solicit you for personal information, such as account number, credit / debit card numbers, passwords or PINs.
