The Michigan State University Federal Credit Union is warning members of a scam seeking their cardholder information.

The scam involves text messages sent to some credit union members, according to a statement posted on the MSU Federal Credit Union Facebook page.

The text message, sent as an “MSU FCU Mobile Alert,” uses the member’s name and last four digits of his or her card number to report the card has been locked. The message then lists a phone number people should call.

“We have reported this as a fraudulent number and have confirmed that the phone number has been disconnected,” the credit union’s Facebook post reads. “As a reminder, MSUFCU will never ask for your card PIN over the phone or via text message.”
