The NCUA issued the following phishing alert – 10-12-2010
The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) warned all federally insured credit unions about a recent phishing attempt to obtain credit
card numbers and other confidential personal information. The perpetrator(s), pretending to be from NCUA, sent fraudulent e-mails to credit
union members and the general public. The emails state the NCUA will add $50.00 to the member's account for taking part in a survey. The link
embedded in the message directs members to a counterfeit version of NCUA's website.
NCUA will never ask for account or personally identifiable information. Any e-mail that alleges to be from NCUA and asks for account
information is fraudulent and should be treated as suspicious.
