Members and non-members are receiving text messages on their cell phones stating that the members “card” is FROZEN and needs to be reactivated and asks for the member to input personal information. This is a SCAM. We have been advised that this SCAM is widespread and that the text messages are being sent to T-Mobile subscribers and potentially affect anyone with a credit or debit card, regardless of what financial institution issued their card. No financial institution, including credit or debit card companies will ever text your cell phone asking for information. DO NOT REPLY to these text messages! First Class American Credit Union is not responsible for any activity on the members card resulting from a member responding to this text SCAM.
