I received a text from 866 261 4872 that I need to call this number in regards with emergency alert for my brothers EBT food card

EBT never sent me a text

They usually call my number if there’s a fraudulent transaction and they will automatically block the card

Please do not call or reply to the text instead block it on your phone

It’s a scam

Received this on my cell phone,generally use my cell phone for contacting family and also as my main camera. This msg was alert re: Food Debit Card. The word "Department" was misspelled, Departement. I am 79, and feel bad for people who respond to these calls. Wish there was a way to stop them. Send them to another planet and let them scam each other!

Just got the same message, seeing how I don't tie my ebt to my cell # I figured it was a scam. This page was the first hit when I entered the above number.

Scammers are stupid.
