Received this on my cell phone this weekend as a text message.

Assumed it was a scam because I do not have accounts witht this bank.


Man that would suck to receive a text message from this scam - I get charged for text messages.

I received one of these scam calls yesterday. I called the bank to report it and they did not seem to be very concerned or to care about it.

I received this call on my cell phone at 12:59 pm yesterday, about 10 minutes after my daughter received it on hers. We are not Bank of Lancaster County customers either so I called Bank of Lancaster County to tell them they apparently had a wrong customer's phone number. They told me it was a scam. So I listened to the message again, went to the White Pages on the internet to look up the phone number they game me to call. It was a 315 number and it showed that is was coming from a location in Utica, New York. It saddens me how evil the world is becoming.

from what i've seen they've been using skype accounts to do much of the texting and or calling. Setting up accounts, doing a call blast then closing the account and moving on. Hopefully the more this gets out the less likely people will fall for it.

seems like one of these scams pops up every few weeks....and every time, it gets a lot of media coverage...hopefully nobody fell for this latest scam, because if they did, they obviously don't pay attention..
