| Several members have recently recieved
emails from what appears to be the National Credit Union Adminstration
(NCUA) and the Credit Union National Association (CUNA), asking them for
personal information and warning of account suspension if no action is taken. Please, DO NOT respond to an email of this nature. Neither this credit union nor NCUA, nor CUNA, will request personal information from you in this manner. By clicking on the link in the email you will be directed to a web site with the following address: https://www.ncua.gov/activate_account/FCUAdministration or ask you to follow directions in an email from -- customerserv@cu.org That first is a secure web site that is NOT operated by NCUA. Again, please do not respond to this attempt to gain personal information. The REAL web site for NCUA is available by clicking the NCUA logo on our Links Page. The second is an email address that does not belong to CUNA. If fact, they may even ask for you to call a number to activate new a security program. Don't. |
| Make yourself aware of the newest phone scam
working in the area. An individual is contacting TFECU members and representing themselves as an employee of the credit union. They tell the member that the credit union computer system has been down and that they need to verify account information so they can restore the members account. In one instance, they asked the member to read their account number and routing number from the bottom of their checkbook. Please be advised that we will never call you to verify your account information. We already have your information on file. Remember…The best way to protect your account is to never give your account information to anyone who contacts you on the phone or the internet. |
° This check is missing the phone number under the address.
