Beware of "Please Call" Spam SMS Text Messages from Vtext.com

Posted: Aug 5, 2017 at 2:19 AM by an anonymous user from or near: Anchorage, Alaska, United States

I got a vtext.com text from 1 (410) 100-001 stating this:

FRM:

MSG: You have a critical update on your account:

This threw me off big time considering I'm an AT&T customer and not a Verizon customer.

My sister which is disabled received a text on her cell phone last night stating that her debit/credit card had been locked due to suspicious activity, she started getting really upset because she doesnt have a Wells Fargo account but just happened to have used an ATM at a Wells Fargo while out of town.

I automatically realized that this was a scam and tried to keep her from getting to worried about the text. Today when I arrived at work I decided to google the text information just to see if anyone else had reported such a scam. Its sad that people are doing this and taking advantage of so many people who dont second guess the intentions of a text when it says it comes from such a trust worthy banking establishment.

Let those people who might not think twice before calling a number when receiving text like this know that no bank card is connected with your cell phone number, especially when the bank who is supposedly texting you isnt even your banking institution, and report such activity to help others not fall victim to these scams.

This one is tricky because it appeals to a person's better nature. I so rarely use my cell phone that I left it unattended for 3 days. During that time I received several texts from an unknown person using a number from my own area code. The texts start by saying hI to the name of a person I don't know and then this is both first and last name of another person I don't know explaining why she is going to be late to work due to weather. The caller's first name was Alexandria which is so rare I immediately questioned why she had to identify herself to her employer by including her last name, too. Also, why text? Why not call? I have always called to speak if late to work. My initial reaction would be to call this poor girl back so she doesn't get in trouble with her boss.

Since I had left my phone unattended what happened instead was another text at the end of normal work hours. Odd. If it were me I would call my boss again sooner. Now the situation has become drastic. She won't be into work because her mom is in a diabetic coma! Wow, I really need to call her to let her know she sent a text to the wrong person again! Several texts proceed along this line including one with the only clue I need.

She claims to have called me several times but I have not answered. Really! Let me check... No missed calls. So, this poor girl just must be punching each number like people did before speed dial and just can't seem to enter the same number multiple times to talk when she did enter my number several times to text! Obviously, the expectation is that I will eventually initiate a call with her myself.

If someone can text a phone number successfully multiple times it is virtually impossible to misdial that same number multiple times for voice communication. If you have a wrong number on speed dial it will connect for either text or voice calls. If you are for some strange reason typing each number by hand you cannot possibly get it right every time you send a text but then get it wrong every time you attempt to talk. Makes no sense at all.

Being an idiot I gave it to them, but became suspicious right after.

I cancelled the card before they got any money thank god, but still have to wait 2 weeks for a new card to access my money.

I received a text this morning stating the following:

alert@vtext.net
"(Contact us immediately) Fraudulent activity in your account or stolen information contact us immediately by calling 1.406.872.0026"

This seemed like a scam immediately, which is what led me to this page via a simple Google search.

I have also received two different phone calls from different phone numbers, both automated messages urging me to contact them immediately.

One of the calls only has a supposed phone number of "1"... Both messages were identical and stated that there were not any problems with my credit account and that I still needed to contact them immediately concerning my credit account.

However, neither call would even state the name of the creditor account in which it supposedly concerns, not to mention I do not have any open-ending credit lines outside of my primary bank.

My cell phone is not through Verizon either and I have never had a phone that was with Verizon's service.

Nothing against them directly, I just do not like contracts.

The potential that something is wrong with my credit does concern me, though I know that this is obviously a scam.

They need to stop attempting to contact me. If there are any issues concerning my credit or any of my accounts, then I would most likely receive physical mail correspondence from my bank and/or creditors. Be advised...

Here's the problem thought: I recieve text messages from SOMEONE constantly, saying they are from Southern Commerce Bank. Each time I block the number, they use a new one. Now they started sending them to my email box, which somehow FORWARDED them to my cell phone. This is getting REALLY creepy. How do they do this and not get caught? It's ALL OVER the internet; what they do is well known by all. Why can't Law Enforcement crack down on these people? It seems they can do whatever the hell they want with impunity.

It has come from 919920554@vtext.com and states:

It has come from 91030501 @vtext.com and states:

The call from 91026022 @vtext.com and states:
Please Contact Southern Bank @ 859 757 2869. Your immediate attention is needed.

Now I KNOW these are just scammers. I have NO business with Southern Bank at all. A reverse look-up has them in or close to Winchester, KY. I only know 1 person in KY and I already them their cell/home numbers.

So just BEWARE of anyone wanting you to contact them if you have NO business interests with whomever they are trying to be.

I am a straight talk customer and received two different text messages instructing me to contact them immediately about my achieve acct from 2 different phone numbers. What and who are achieve? One message had an account number starting with a 4 indicating it was a visa acct. I just ignored them assuming it was spam..................but it is still bothersome.

I just received a text from 704617667@vtext.com.
Message: (TheAchieveCard) Call: 601 633 0110 Immediately

My husbands has 3 phones in his name. I am the only one that has recieved this text message as of now. Another person has stated this maybe associated with the Target red card but we don't have a red card nor shopped at Targets in years.

With our all of our comments I hope Verizon can get this matter taken care of.

Got one too. I am a verizon customer.

"(TheAchieveCard) Call: 601 633 0110 immediately."

I also shopped at target during their big thing on 11/30 using a redcard. I wonder if they got my phone number from the redcard and are now trying to do some type of identity theft

It's odd that occurred for me 3 times when trying to pay my bill with the Verizon app. Payment never went through and I received those texts. Tells me there is a virus on my phone or one at the Verizon payment center.

Last week I got a text from 48081836@vtext.com (contact achieve dept). I ignored it assuming it was a scam. Im now wondering if this is related to a fraudulent charge of $26.47 from "Verizon Financial" I received. When I finally got through to Verizon Customer service, they indicated no such charge was made by them.

I received a text on December 14, 2013 from 7069681209@vtext.com stating that an Achieve Card had been activated, which I did not have or request. Then today, January 13, 2014 I got a text from 70697099@vtext.com stating that the Achieve Card had been blocked due to fraud and to call 888-882-2836. I did not call but googled the number and it came up as not existing. The 706-968-1209 came up as a Verizon cell in Hartwell, Ga. The other number that was on the text stating a card had been activated was 415-877-3114 and it is located in San Francisco. I did not reply or call any of these numbers. If you know you have not requested or activated a card DO NO RESPOND to these idiots and even if you have this card never give unsolicited information to anyone. It is all about people too lazy to work for a living trying to scam those of us who make money the honest way. If they would put this much thought and energy into a legitimate job we would all be happy and not have to worry about people trying to rob us.

Received a text that said:

I knew it was a scam because, 1: I don't have an Achieve Card 2: Banks and Financial Institutions always refer to cards by the last 4 digits, not the first 6, and 3: It came from a "@vtext.com" number that happens to have the same first 6 digits of my cell phone number, so most likely it was computer generated.
I kinda wanted to call to cuss somebody out, but resisted the urge.
