Stormson Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I just got a text message on my phone that said it was a "National Bank Alert" and went on to say that that my bank card starting with #### (real numbers) had been deactivated and please call this number (followed by a phone number).I instead called my bank and they told me NOT to respond to this under any circumstance that it was indeed a scam. and it was not only effecting my bank but other banks and customers as well. They DID get the first four digits of my card right, however I was told they ONLY have those first four and somehow plan to con the rest of the digits out of you during the call..Again, DO NOT RESPOND if you receive a similar message, this is a scam!

Dorian Gray Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 the first 4 digits are the Issuer Identification Number which is unique to your bank, if you know the bank, you can you pretty much get the first 4 digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it was a scam right off, but called to confirm anyway and see what I could find out.. according to the lady atthe bank today has been a pretty big day for this particular one...
