So I just received a text message talking about my Piedmont CU debit card had be deactivated and I needed to call to have it reactivated.

It was clearly phishing, mainly because i don't have a Piedmont CU account, but I called the number just to hear what it said. It is absolutely crazy how some people fall for that shit.

But anyway, I was just curious if anyone knows who I can report shit like this to. This is the first time I have ever gotten something like this via text.

no, not a parody. I'd just like to report it because I know there are plenty of people who are dumb enough to call that number and put in their card number and pin.
