Fraud happens each and every day and can happen to anyone, even in North Dakota and Minnesota. Here at FCCU, we want to help educate our members and make sure you are protected.
Scam of the Month
Recently, some members have received a phishing text claiming that their account is temporarily restricted. This text is a fraudulent attempt to lure recipients into clicking a link that leads to a scam. Members should always exercise caution and not engage with any suspicious messages.
Red Flags:
1. We will not text you regarding account information.
2. Someone new contacts you about your account.
3. Links that look spoofed or different from our typical URL.
What to do:
1. Contact your local credit union right away through a trusted number.
2. Work with your trusted FCCU employee to ensure your account is safe.
