Fraud Alert - Texting (SMS) Messages & SMiShing

GCI has not had any actual reports of this occurring to GCI customers, however all Wireless users need to be aware of this possibility. Wireless user receives a text (SMS) message from a financial institution, indicating your account is locked.
The message provides an 888 phone number to "verify" the account. If you call the number, a message prompts you for your Social Security Number, Credit Card Number, and Driver's License Number. This then exposes you to identity theft, or credit card fraud.
Your action: Just delete the SPAM SMS Text message.
