BANKS NEVER SEND TEXTS ASKING FOR YOU TO SEND YOUR INFORMATION!!!! THEY DON'T CALL ASKING FOR YOUR INFORMATION EITHER.
Fraud alerts will contact you to let you know if something suspicious is going on with your account, but they never ask for your account number if it is legit.
Another great and scary example.

These kinds of texts have been coming to us almost daily. They say our account is frozen and that we need to act quickly. The part that bothers me is, how do they know our bank name?? From our phone bill?
