Why don't you find out who owns that number, 208-301-9136, and go arrest them?  "AT&T WIRELESS SERVICES, services that number, they should have billing information on it that can lead to the person(s) committing the fraud..

PRESS RELEASE


 
December 29, 2009
 
On 12-29-09 at about 4:03 pm (Pacific Standard Time) people owning cell phones with SPRINT services may have received a text message saying their Latah Federal Credit Union card had been deactivated.  The message states to re-activate your card to call the number of 208-301-9136.  The Moscow Police Department and the Latah Federal Credit Union asks that people not to respond to this message.  This is an on going scam.  
 
If a person calls this number you will hear an automated recording asking you to enter your pin number and account number.  The person(s) on the other end can use the tones from the phone to get number a person has pushed and they will then have your card information.  The telephone numbers are called possibly with an automated dialing system, much like telemarketers use.  The person(s) enter an area code and the phone prefix and the computer system starts dialing random numbers and sends an automated text message..  
 
To date, most of these messages have been sent on phones with sprint service.  Again we want to ask everyone not to respond to these messages and not provide any banking information of any kind that comes to you via text or e-mail messages.

            Chief of Police                                                                          Assistant Chief David Duke
