Yet another one that one of our clients received the other day. This was on their Verizon phone. We confirmed that it happened to another Verizon customer as well.

Hello: I received a text message today, June 11, 2009, with almost the exact same message. I called the number provided, 303-459-2555, but didn’t leave any kind of credit card information. As a matter of fact, I’ve never been a customer at Sooper Credit Union, period. At first, I confused it with my Kroger/King Soopers card, but I found that the automated telephone system left no other means of contact. This is definitely a scam and thanks for the information.
