What is Phishing?

Phishing is a process by which scam artists try to get you to divulge your Social Security number, your account numbers, address or other personal information under the guise of a legitimate company with which you may already be doing business. The e-mail directs the user to visit a website where you are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, Social Security, and financial institution account numbers. The website, however, is bogus and set up only to steal the user’s information.

What if you responded to a phishing e-mail, or if you have questions?

Legitimate e-mails

You may receive legitimate e-mails from the credit union in the form of information, updates or promotions. However, as stated before, we will never ask for personal information.
