- **Alert**
We have recently discovered a fraudulent e-mail going
out to members claiming to be from Visa
Debit Card Security Department. The
e-mail informs the member that their account information
has been lost and the member will need to contact the
provided number to update their information. We want
to warn all members to be extra vigilant when recieving
mail regarding account information. For your protection
Mid Missouri Credit Union will not send emails regarding
your account information.Recently, there have been multiple
e-mail fraud attempts, known as "Phishing”,
that were initiated via e-mail sent to both the general
public and to some credit union members that appeared
to be from NCUA. This false e-mail asked for the recipient
to click on a link to verify their credit union account
registration. If the recipient proceeded to do so, the
link directed them to a false website and asked for
their credit union account number and PIN, along with
other personal information.
Internet/Email
Fraud Alert
- NCUA does not ask credit unions members for such personal
information. Anyone who receives an e-mail that purports
to be from NCUA and asks for account information should
consider it to be a fraudulent attempt to obtain their
personal account data for an illegal purpose and should
not follow the instructions in the e-mail.
If you responded to such an e-mail and provided any
confidential account information, please notify your
credit union immediately of the scheme. You should
also change your account’s PIN, and take any
additional action recommended by your credit union
to protect your account.
