Type of a scam Identity Theft

This is the exact text I received with the ability to click on the web address/link. "IDES, Illinois department of employment security. Due to numerous number of fraud claims we request you verify your identity https://www2.netvasco.com.br/IDES/index.html to prevent your Account been locked" This is the second one I have received. The first was for the Wisconsin department of employment security. That phone number I did not save....but it was a Rockford, IL area code. Note this area code is from California. I have deleted both messages and did not click on the link. Note the English is incorrect in places and lack of capital letters where one would expect. I live in Wisconsin but noted on the first text that it came from Illinois. The second indicated Illinois but was from a California cell phone from what I could figure out.

Type of a scam Phishing

My husband got a debit card and letter in the mail supposedly from IDES. We are seniors and retired and have not submitted an application for benefits. The card and letter said the benefits would be served by Key Bank, and if we had questions we should call 866-295-2955 or go to their website, which is key2benefits.com. We heard this was a scam, so we tried to report it to the IDES fraud line and the local employment office, but we were never able to get anyone to answer the phone or call us back. We called the local Better Business Bureau office and reported it. They suggested we make sure we checked our credit and monitored our accounts.
