A credit union recently reported receiving hundreds of calls from members and nonmembers saying they
received a phone call (automated calls) on their landline or cell phone with an automated message indicating their account may be locked or closed, or their card numbers were compromised. The victims are asked to enter their credit or debit card number.
Members should never respond to these calls (voice phishing) by providing the requested personal or
financial information – no matter how urgent the message may seem. |
