Cell Phone Scam to Get Bank Info

Wow! I cannot believe I fell for it. I got a text message on my cell phone that looked real and told me my bank account was closed due to unusual activity and that I needed to call my bank at a certain number. It caught me off guard and I stupidly called the number and started responding to the questions, i.e. type in your debit card number. Type in your debit card expiration date. Type in … Suddenly I realized this was a big mistake and hung up. I called the regular number for the nice folks at my bank and they nicely explained that this was a scam. They transferred me to the Fraud department where they cancelled my debit card immediately and then tried to reassure me that since I had not given up any more info I would probably be OK. What do you think? Should I do more?
I warned my wife shortly after this. Sure enough, she just called to let me know she got a similar message on her cell phone, but she had the good sense not to call the number.
I realize this is probably fairly common, but I just have not paid much attention. Now, however, I am concerned.

IMHO no legit business would send a text message. I would never give any info to anybody over the phone. If there is a banking issue drive over to your bank and check it out.

Everybody should abide by this old time proven saying………..

“A fool and his money are soon parted”.

Yup we both just got these text not long ago, I make sure the wife is up to date with scams. This one got my attention though it said USBANK, which I do bank with, they however do not have texting options.

I just got it today too!

Maybe I should call them

Looks like Honest John was too Honest

Really though, Glad to hear you got stuff figured out.
