Doesn't it seem like every time we turn around there's another scam circulating?  This one's in our own backyard.  I found out the other day while logging onto my on-line Sidney Federal Credit Union account.  The following report greeted me on the SFCU homepage:

Alert! There is a scam circulating via text message from 206-557-8725. The message states "Credit Union Account Alert: Your Visa card has been temporarily DEACTIVATED. Please call 570-985-5225 (or 607-270-0150) to reactivate your card."  If you responded to this text please stop into a branch or contact the sfcu member service center @ 1-877-642-7328.

Please share this to spread awareness and stop these scammers in their tracks.
