Security Alert: Phone Scam
Scammers continue to come up with creative ways to commit fraud. This often involves victims unwittingly providing personal information that criminals use to access their bank account. A current example of a phone scam involves a phone call from what appears to be your financial institution—even referenced in Caller ID.
Avoid falling victim to these scams by knowing how criminals operate.
How to protect yourself:
- The credit union will never call you and ask you for your personal account information, as we already have this information.
- If you’re not sure, call us back directly using the phone number printed on the back of your card or our official website.
- Never provide financial information to the caller, especially if you did not initiate the call.
- To learn about other scams and ways to protect yourself, visit the Security Resources section on our website, or FTC.gov.
