Security Bulletin Phishing Alert: April 20, 2007 - URGENT PHISHING SCAM!
USA Federal Credit Union has learned of an FSCC Shared Branching email circulating to the general public requesting personal member information by visiting a specific website and taking part in a survey for $50.00. See a copy of the email scam. The phishing email scam contains the CU Swirl Logo and the CUSC Network; providing much of the "look and feel" of the organizations. Members should never send sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, social security numbers, secret words, or PINs in an email or submit it through a web site. In addition, members should never click directly on links in an email that requests sensitive information, even if they recognize and trust the address. These links can redirect you to a fake -- though very real looking -- Web site. If you have received or responded to this fraudulent message, contact USA Federal immediately. Remember: | • | Never provide personal or account information in response to any unsolicited request (by email or by phone). | | • | Beware of any unsolicited email that threatens to close or suspend your account(s) or online account access. | | • | Beware of any unsolicited email that requests you provide personal account information that USA Federal should already know. |
If you are unsure if any message you receive is legitimate (email, phone call, etc.), please contact USA Federal directly for verification. Visit the Member Safety section to learn more on how to identify and avoid information security threats. |
