MACU Text Scam from 929-544-7813 - Mountain America Credit Union

I got a MACU text scam from telephone number 929-544-7813. The message in the scam text says "Please log in, someone is trying to log into MACU, please log in to this ???" I know this is a scam because the telephone number is from New York and MACU is located in UTAH. And, I do not have an account with Mountain America Credit Union(MACU).

I also got a simular MACU text scam from 727-459-1259 located in Florida. If you have received a Macu text scam, please share it in a comment below along with the telephone number it came from. Do not click the link in it because it goes to a phishing website that steals account credentials, personal and financial information.
