According to the Federal Trade Commission, American consumers lost $8.8 billion to fraud in 2022 – 30% more than in 2021.
To protect your money and help prevent fraud, we remind our members to be ever vigilant with personal information.
Unless you are expecting contact from your financial institution you should always use caution when you get unexpected calls or emails.
Scammers are coming at consumers any way they can. The most common contact methods include text messages, phone calls and emails.
They will attempt to trick you into action with pieces of personal information they’ve already gathered before contacting you.
Be Aware of These Common Fraud Types:
Imposter Scams – Scammers contact you pretending to be a trusted party that requires a payment on an “overdue” account.
Prize, Sweepstakes and Lottery Scams – “Companies” contact you saying you’ve won a prize, but they need your account information to transfer it or a payment to ship it.
Investment Scams – Criminals present you with a too-good-to-be-true investment opportunity that requires a cash deposit but promises an amazing return.
Even the savviest of consumers can fall victim to fraud. Trust your instincts and use caution. If the caller seems overly insistent, ask for a callback number for further verification.

Mark your calendars for these upcoming events:
The credit union will be closed in observance of the following holidays:
A recent flurry of calls that indicate you’ve been “pre-approved for benefits” is another fraud attempt to get your personal information.
If you receive these calls asking to verify your full name and date of birth, immediately hang up the phone.
These scammers are trying to build a data profile on you so they can apply for credit cards or services in your name. Once they fill in all the blanks, they can run up huge amounts of debt in your name.
Never share your personal information over the phone. Anytime you receive an unexpected call, ask the caller to provide a call back number. If they hesitate, it’s likely they are not reputable. Hang up, then call back at a phone number you know to be legitimate.
