 Many phishing scams have impersonated themselves as NCUA and CUNA to authenticate their attempt to access your information. NCUA and CUNA do not have access to your credit union account and would NEVER contact you to verify or update such information.

 

 

Criminal phishing (e-mail), smishing (text messaging) and vishing (telephone) attacks increased nearly 600% in 2009 according to the Anti-Phishing Working Group. This type of socially-engineered breach of personal or financial information is a potentially costly and devastating crime, which can often be prevented through member awareness combined with sensible everyday practices.

 

If you notice any suspicious activity on your accounts or credit report, contact us immediately. Our Member Service department can be reached at 443-5531, toll free at 1-877-964-3262 or midcoast@gwi.net.
