Fraudulent VISA text message

Just thought I'd warn everyone out there. I received a fraudulent text message today that purported to be about my Visa card. It said that my account had been frozen for abnormal activity and gave a 408 area code phone number to call. I called my bank and credit cards directly and pretty much confirmed that the text was fraudulent, none of my cards were frozen. So, just be sure not to call that number if you get the text. I assume this might be related to the security breach that happened when our UHS files got hacked into. Or it could just be an entirely different scam. In any case, they're probably trying to fish for more personal information about us.
