I got a text message from a 281 area code number telling me my VISA Debit Classic card was locked due to fraudulent activity.

I called the number and the recording said there would be NO live service, everything was electronic.

The first thing it wanted was my 16 digit card number. That's when I hung up.

So this is clearly a SCAM. TD'ers beware.

Got the same thing for my "bank account" a few weeks ago. They're getting a lot of the older crowd to fall for this. Have to key in your account number for details.
