I just got a text from the number “3610″ which contained the text
tmomail@tmomail.net/ /Notification: Wachovia 4828xx card is locked. Call at 9089554511!
I did recently use my Wachovia card recently after months of inactivity so the first thought that came to mind that this was an actual text message from Wachovia. However the first thing I noticed was the “4828xx” part. Generally the first few digits on any debit or credit card are identifying digits and therefore very common on many different cards.
The second part I noticed was the 9089554511 number that was listed instead of a 1-800 number. A quick google search for the number confirms that many other people including non-Wachovia customers also received the text.
Hopefully this doesn’t become a common problem and the cellular companies plug the loophole that allows this kind of spam.
