Fraud Awareness
STAY INFORMED, ALERT & SECUREWith increasing levels of fraudulent activity targeting the public, we provide this guidance to help avoid scams.We would like to remind our members, and the public, that we will NEVER contact them by phone or text, or by any other means to request account information. Be wary of any text messages or phone calls which may reference account verification or password changes. Credit Unions will NEVER request your full personal access code or password. Fraudsters and scam artists are increasingly sophisticated in their efforts. This includes Number Spoofing when they make contact by phone to make it look like they are calling from the phone number of a genuine company or organisation. They may then try to trick the person into divulging personal, financial or security information. They are also very good at making emails look genuine and have been known to set up elaborate and convincing dummy websites. |
Be careful of unsolicited contact______________________Don’t assume an email, call or text is genuine______________________Check web address of a website carefully______________________Be careful with links______________________Scams can take many formats so please remain vigilant in order to protect yourself!
