I have Verizon and also recieved this message.

I have recieved two calls in two days, i also have Sprint, tried to call them back to just tell them what i think about theur scam but no one answers

I got this text on my cell phone too.  But I have T-Moble.  I called the number on the back of my card.  They told me about this scam.

I also have received this text. i also receive this text from seperate e-mail adresses. one contained this number & the other one had the number 8566372463. that message came from [email protected]. the 8157131411 came from [email protected]. i also have sprint.

Maybe, because I have Sprint also. I am glad that they are covering this and that people are aware because this is a fairly new and tricky way to get your info. I imagine that many people will still fall into this trap though.

I have received 3 text messages from this number and my husband has received one.  I also have a friend who received one & called the number back but it was an automated message asking for account information.  Obviously, we know not to give this info out.  I was wondering if it was just because we all have sprint as our cell phone provider.

I too received the same text msg yes****ay.  Luckily I saw a story on the local news about this scam.

A text message sent from [email protected] said that my Eppi-Card account was cancelled for security reasons, and to call this number. DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAMS AS THEY WILL ASK FOR PERSONAL INFO. WHILE PRETENDING TO BE****OCIATED WITH YOUR FINANCIAL PROVIDER.
