Fraud Alert! SMS from: 3649 Says: 12532511924@onlinebanking.com / / You have received a new message

I received a text message 10 minutes ago from '3649' that said:
"12532511924@onlinebanking.com / / You have received a new message . Call now : 1 253 251 1924 to hear it."
After calling the number, a recording said my "bank account" was compromised and they need to verify some information after I press the pound key. The recording then asked me to enter my "Credit card" number, expiration date and the CVV code on the back of the card. The recording then said that they will review my information and someone will be in touch with me within 5 business days, and that they will send me a letter regarding the matter. They then ended the call.
If you receive a similar message/call, DO NOT enter your credit card information. They're trying to STEAL your credit card information. DO NOT give away any of your information. Banks and credit card companies never ask for this information through text message/automated calls so haphazardly like this. BE CAREFUL!
