Once again, there is a phone scam being executed in the area. The automated message says "This is the Federated Credit Union. Your debit card has been locked. To reactivate your debit card press 1" and then the call asks you to key in your card number and other data.

The calls are being made to random telephone numbers and seem to be originating from several different numbers.
