Security Tip:
What is caller ID spoofing?
Caller ID spoofing is when a caller deliberately mimics a legitimate individual, company or government entity’s phone number. This is done for the purpose of obtaining individuals personal information and/or money. We have recently seen credit union's, bank's, and utility company's phone numbers spoofed.
If you are asked for your card information or online banking password, please hang up and call UNCLE Credit Union directly at 925-447-5001.
