The NCUA issued a fraud alert about a recent phishing attempt to obtain credit card account numbers and expiration dates.
In reported cases, e-mails were sent to credit union members and to the general public stating that the, “National Credit Union Administration temporarily suspended your account due to fraud attempts.” The e-mail then requests a call be made to a toll free number provided to reactivate the account. The phone number to call has an Albany area code of 518.
If you responded to such an e-mail and provided any confidential account information, please call MCU immediately at 800-662-2772.
If you feel that you have received a fraudulent phishing e-mail purportedly from NCUA please forward the entire e-mail message to Phishing@ncua.gov.
