A text message scam is making the rounds in south central Kansas.  Residents are receiving a text message saying there is an issue with their bank account. 

They're asked to call a number where they reach an automated system.  The system tries to get the caller to enter their bank card number and other information.

The phone number is (561) 232-3007, but it's possible other numbers are in use.  Hutchinson Police say it is a scam and not to call the number. 

Instead, contact the bank or card issuer directly if you have any questions.
