FRAUD ALERT

Members and non-members of Educational Employees Credit Union should be aware that there are many types of fraud and scams. Most recently, Vishing scams (similar to “phishing” except these use cell phones and telephones) have become popular. We would like to remind you that you should never give out your confidential or account information. These scams will only work if YOU give the scammers what they want — your account number, charge card number or Social Security Number.

EECU does not use automated message systems or text messages to contact our members. In fact, we will only contact you if YOU have requested it. EECU also would like you to be aware that some scammers now have the technology to “mask” the telephone numbers they are calling from, so that the incoming call looks legitimate. Don’t be fooled!

If you get a call about one of your accounts, hang up immediately and call your financial institution or the 1-800 number on the back of your credit card. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us!
