So, I finally called my Credit Union to learn that they are working with state officials and other credit unions to get to the bottom of this. Apparently, the scam artists running this scam have gotten access to home as well as cell phone numbers and clearly email addresses too. I called my local tv station and understandably, they have their hands full with the election. Well, I'll stay on top of this to the best of my ability and let you know what happens.

The same thing has happened to me. I received a phone call Sunday night at 10:45 saying the same thing. Then today I received the email. I really hope that they get to the bottom of this!
I am a Director of Sales of a Bowling Green, KY hotel. Both myself and my General Manager received the same email twice, just today. I actuall called the number (knowing it was a scam) to see what it would say. It asked for my card number, so I entered one (fake of course), then my expireation date (fake of course) and finally my PIN (another fake). Then the message said "please wait while we verify....Thank you...You have been reinstated...Good bye". I hope no one calls and gives the actual numbers to their card!!
