Do not call 1-888-371-0758. The number is being used by cybercriminals in an attempt to steal their potential victims’ personal, account and financial information. The cyber criminals do this by sending out phishing text messages like the ones below claiming the recipients' CU or Credit Union card has been blocked. The phishing message then asks the recipients to call the same number immediately.
