Scam Alert - August 16, 2018

Oregon residents are receiving calls about a new spoofing scam. Here's what you need to know.  

Phone/Spoofing Scam Scenario:  

• A call is received, and caller ID shows as credit union 1-800 number (this number has been spoofed)
• Caller announces that they are from a CU Fraud Team
• Caller convinces the cardholder that there has been fraud on their account and that the card will need to be blocked.
• To finalize the block, they need the cardholder's PIN number.
• The caller also may provide the last 4 digits of the card number, email address, and it sounds all very convincing.
• The caller also may suggest moving all of their money into their checking account as this account will be blocked from future fraud activity.
• The caller does not have an accent.

Please remember that Maps never asks for personal or account information.
