Beware: Text Scam - Asks to call to reactivate debit card

I just got a text pretending to be my credit union asking me to call. When you call, it says my debit card was deactivated and to re-activate, please enter my debit card number. It's a scam I'm sure. The phone number was [phone].

I got a phone call from a 919 area code with a similar robotic message. Had a recent surge in crap calls...

I had this call too. It was obvious it was a scam to me. I do have a credit union though and wondered if they knew that. Do other people who got the call also have credit union membership?
