After googling the number they had me call, it was a mixed bag of legit and not. Hard to make anything out of it. Supposedly it belongs to a third party company called Vantis or something like that for 3rd party fraud protection alot of banks use. Like I said, not really sure.
Then googling the text # it came from, I found the number listed on a few credit union websites as their fraud protection alert #. But its not listed on my banks website (granted I bank with a small bank and the only numbers on their site are there office #s and the after hours card cancelling services in the event its lost or stolen).
Good idea to call the bank.
Also was a good idea to Google the number.
...and you can never be too paranoid. Too many scammers out there.
