An Important Message From KALSEE Credit Union

ON-LINE SCAM ARTISTS

KALSEE Credit Union actively promotes ways to prevent Identity Fraud. While you are on line, you are susceptible to many different types of fraudulent activity.

Phishing Scams

"Phishing" is one of the most common scam tactics currently used on the Internet and is particularly dangerous because the intent of the scam artist is to lure victims into revealing valuable personal info with very convincing e-mail letters.

Scammers e-mail you an official looking letter informing you that your account may be closed or deleted if you do not "update" your personal or account information. They place a link within the e-mail that leads to a fake website. Beware. These websites look identical to the real website. (ex. eBay or PayPal)

The boxes for entering account or personal information on that fake website are there for one purpose; THEY WANT YOUR PRIVATE INFORMATION. So, DO NOT click on any link(s) inside these e-mails. Delete them immediately.

PLEASE REMEMBER THESE IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT “PHISHING” SCAMS:

• KALSEE Credit Union OR ANY OTHER CREDIT UNION RELATED INSTITUTION, such as NCUA (sample phishing image below), will NEVER
  e-mail you asking you to update your personal account information.
  
  
• DO NOT click links provided in an e-mail requesting any form of updating your personal or financial information.
  
  
• Call us during regular business hours and ask for verification before responding to any form of electronic solicitation or correspondence alleging to be from KALSEE.
