Comments:
  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Credit Union by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • Credit Union never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://www.creditunion.com/".


  • The spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual Credit Union URL.

Credit Union Security Notice - Card-Systems Breach

Dear Credit Union Customer,

Credit Union recently became aware of a large data security breach at Card-Systems, a merchant payment processor who is not affiliated with Credit Union.

Only credit card information was breached, no personal information was compromised. As always, Credit Union Customers are not responsible for any fraud losses if they occur.

Credit Union is a leader in fraud prevention and we monitor your account and will notify you of suspicious activity.

Once Credit Union has obtained and reviewed compromised account numbers we will notify those Customers likely to be at risk.

Credit Union is not recommending that you close your account, and no further action is required at this time except verify your identity with Credit Union.

Customers can help protect their account against fraud by verify your identity at:

Thank you,
