Reminder: Text Messaging Can Be Used For Scams, Too [Scams]This is probably not news to you guys but thought I'd put it out there. I just received a text ostensibly from the security department at TD bank enjoining me to call 1-630-303-9101. Since I've never even heard of TD bank, no less had an account with them, I looked it up on the web to confirm that they did exist. Still suspicious, I called the number. It was a recording asking that I provide my credit card or debit card number. Naturally, I did no such thing. Instead, I called the TD bank customer service number provided on their web site. They indicated they've recently had many reports of fraudulent texts going out. Just a reminder for folks to keep vigilant about never blindly giving out any sort of information over the phone or online.
