What could he be doing on these type of sites

I have an email today from Bank Of America:

"11501 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90025, USA

Tell: 1(619) 485-2893

FOR YOUR INFORMATION: BENEFICIARY.

After yesterday's board meeting of the management of this bank, Ministry of Finance, Internal Revenue Service of the United States (IRS), The Reserve Bank and the World Bank Directorate it was gathered that your overdue compensation fund worth US$27.000.000.00 million has been deposited with this bank for onward payment/ transfer to your designated/choose bank account. the reason for this is because your name was among the scam victims that lost a lot of money to African and European Fraudsters, you are hereby advised to without delay stop all contact going on between you and anybody on internet because you will end up at nothing.

RE-CONFIRM YOUR BELOW DETAILS."

Who are they? Is this legitimate?

No, it is not legit, it is a scam.

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

FRM:
2064982597-vtext.com
MSG: You have a critical update on your account:
hxxp://goo.gl/i5jmjH

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

Received the following text on my AT&T cell phone:

"FRM:2163138535-vtext.com
MSG:Your Facebook account requires immediate confirmation, please follow this link: https://goo.gl/svQkrV"

The link goes to the following malicious website:

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.

Thank you very much for your post>>

I would really like to get the Simone prepaid card off of my phone I never applied for it. I get text messages at all hours of the night and I am only using the phone for calls from my kids and when my oldest one is with his dad and needs to call me. Help me get this off my phone.

Please contact your phone service provider for help.

Received 2 messages on 4/14/2017, both claiming to be landline ph. numbers
and that I could receive all text messages as voice messages for a fee,plus standard msg fee.

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.

I got a text message supposedly from wells-fargo-security giving me a link to info-wfarg0service .com. I logged on to my account and there were no messages for me about any of my accounts. This has to be a SCAM.

Yes, it is a scam. The website is a fake created by scammers.

"Alert: Urgent Message ,WellsfargoMSG, Please Ring : (678) 942-0656"

I do not have a Wells Fargo account. Called number and to receive faster service, please enter your social security #. I hope no one will actually enter their social.

Received this text message on 7/2/16:

"(BOA SMS ID: 36228) AlertID: 341809 Please call 347-501-8099. As part of our security policies, we issued this warning message!"

I received a text message which came from this number - 1 (855) 894-0710 and read Call: "9513224915 UrgentNotification Master". I did nothing with it from my phone but called both numbers from a secure land line and both rang busy. I have no idea what it's about.

It is another text message scam created by scammers trick you into calling them, where you will be asked by automated system or human to submit your personal and financial information.

My husband and I just received this message:
"(My Master UrgentNotification Contact: 914 266 8559)"

I got the exact same message yesterday morning. From 8054787459-sw.biz. rr.com

I got one saying: "(My [BOAFA] AttentinNeeded Contact: 804 365 5144). I got the text from 98744561478-vbtext.net"

Got the following:

Hey 0000ppi, I just got a sms from info-verizon .net that stated I should call B.O.D with a 813 number. I called the number and they said if you want to keep your card active press one, if not two. I didnt press anything, but had replied with a text and emailed from my email address, because I didn't realize it might be a scam. Do I need to be scared now ?

No, just be careful next time.

received a text that said: "M-A-S-T-E-R C=A=R=D . Please call: 8456664057"

Text message advising my bank's visa credit card requires "re validation ID" and to call the ph#: 201-437-9358 located in New Jersey.

The number is a land line verizon phone number registered to a very elderly lady.

The name is registered to a young 30 year old Erika McPherson from Newark, New Jersey. I checked with my bank and there is no such thing as a re-validation ID requirement. BE WARNED.

Received message saying contact Wells Fargo by calling 626-416-4675. Spam!!!

Same city and state. 5 mins ago. Exact text.

I received this, it's fraudulent.

Received the message (contact VISA) call 3375162111 tonight at 9:04pm

Same in Phoenix AZ says call VISA, 8:57 pm.

I just received a text saying: "(contact VISA) call 3375162111"

Same here! Like 5 minutes ago.

Just got the same thing 3 minutes ago

Just received a text from: 33735229-vtext.com saying: "(contact V-I-S-A) call 337-516-2111"

Anyone receiving something saying call Visa at a 337 area code. It's fake. I live in Lafayette LA and there is no Visa place here.

new scam from 3109551236-vtext.com

I got the same one with a different phone number:

I got the same one:

I have Verizon wireless service for my smart phone and received text message from 56167633-vtext.com that says (contact bankofamerica) call 5616093597

My husband has same service and just received same text on his smart phone.

I received a text alert from WellsFargo Urgent Notification. And it included a http; along with an attached phone number to call that was a 702 area code. If it were earlier in the evening I would have contacted this number by phone, but something told me to Google the domain just now. Thank You Verizon!

I am getting emails in response to an ad. asking for pics of the item. But when I respond to the email I get dozens of answers that make no sense; pictures did not come through, do not understand these responses...

This is the email address. I believe they did ask me to text them but I won't do that:
4129659633-vtext.com

Same number (732 818 1070) on both text messages states sender: BNK OF AMERCA_DE BIT_DO NOT DELAY
