Don't Get Lured In by Phishing Scamsters
If you receive an e-mail
such as this, please do not respond. |

| Hundreds of consumers have found themselves the victims
of an e-mail scam known as “phishing.” It involves
high-tech fraudsters who pretend to be a legitimate financial
institution or credit card company. Hiding behind the anonymity
of the Internet, the fraudsters send out “official-looking”
e-mails designed to trick consumers into divulging financial
and personal information such as account numbers, passwords,
user names, Social Security Numbers, and other sensitive
data. In most cases, the e-mail claims there is an account
problem or warns of a possible account fraud threat. Either
way—the whole idea is to convince the consumer there
is an immediate need to update their financial information.
If you receive an e-mail from Health Center CU requesting
financial information or any other personal or sensitive
data:
- Treat the e-mail with suspicion.
- Do not reply to the e-mail or respond by clicking
on a link within the e-mail message. Health Center CU
will never ask you to provide any kind of confidential
or financial details via an e-mail request.
- Contact Health Center CU as soon as possible to report
the suspicious e-mail.
