HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF)- A text messaging scam is working its way through the Tennessee Valley.

Lately, customers with Verizon Wireless have been receiving a text from local Cadence or BBVA banks asking the recipient to contact them regarding their account number. Officials with the Better Business Bureau say: Do not hand your information over.  

"Right when I saw the text message, I thought my bank account had been frozen based on my recent activity," said Lauren Downey.  She received two text messages Tuesday and one on Wednesday. 

Downey figured the text was bogus, but she called the number the text asks you to call just to be sure.

"I knew right then that my bank would call me and they would not make me put anything into an automated system," she said.   

Michele Mason with the Better Business Bureau said they've been getting notified about the text messages for weeks.   

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF)- Huntsville school leaders have big plans for building new schools.

The proposed site for the new J.O. Johnson High and Junior High school is off Pulaski Pike near Winchester Road.

Residents in northwest Huntsville have wanted a new school for years, but some see a potential problem with the proposed site.

A rock quarry owned by Alabama Construction is just a few miles behind the proposed site for the new high school. Folks who live near it say explosions at the quarry blasting rock can be felt miles away and is causing cracks in their home foundations.

The issue has come up in the past for school leaders to consider. School leaders are awaiting results of an environmental study where air quality and traffic safety concerns are reviewed, among a list of other things.

Johnson was built in 1972 to house more than 2,000 students. It currently only houses 580.

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF)- Now is the time many of us grab the kids and our stuff and travel.  Whether it's for a week or the day, car seat safety should be one of the first things parents get checked.

Little Kelsey is only 8 months old, but he is the center of his parent's world. His dad, Pranteek Patnaik, is in the medical field and knows how important safety is for traveling with children.

That's why he came to Huntsville Hospital to allow the pros to install Kelsey's car seat. 

"I think, as a parent, safety, obviously, we always hear the term "precious cargo" and safety with that, and your little one brings it to a whole new level when you're a parent," said Patnaik.

The technician will go over some specific points with dad, give him a quick safety lesson, and make sure the seat is installed correctly.
