Scam Alert -- 6/2/2010

A customer from the National Bank and Trust Main Office received a text saying that their account was frozen. The customer called the number on the text and gave them his debit card # and then it disconnected him. He then contacted his NB&T Branch and they were able to cancel his card before any fraud was committed. Several Hillsboro customers have also received this text messages. The customer said he tried to call the number back the next day and the number was disconnected.

The text came from 2543790004 and the message was as follows:

"customer issue, eppi-card account frozen. Please call at 925 465 2344."

THIS IS A SCAM...do NOT call the number and never give anyone personal information, unless you can verify they are NB&T bank personnel.
