Received a text message from: bank-mobile-alert-029@vservice.comThe message said as follows: (Call: 8089400592 Now-029#) Card-temporarily-locked-ID:SDG7aNrdGV After a simple google search it brought me to this website and several others as potential scam. It seems they have changed their phone number since some of the previous comments but nonetheless a COMPLETE SCAM! DO NOT CALL THEM BACK THEY CAN RECORD YOU AND USE YOUR VOICE TO INITIATE REQUESTS POSING AS YOURSELF!
