Telephone fraud can occur with cell phones or land lines. Typically, the caller poses as a representative from a bank, or another financial institution, and illegally tries to collect your personal information. UNCLE will never call members via telephone or cell phone to request personal information such as bank account numbers, debit or credit card numbers, expiration dates or personal identification numbers. 

Internet fraud, or "phishing" often takes the form of emails or internet pop-up boxes that ask you for personal financial information. Typical messages include requests to verify your account numbers, PINs and/or passwords. UNCLE will never initiate requests for personal and/or account information via the Internet. Please read this important message from the US Treasury department for more details on Internet fraud.

Thieves have learned to install devices called "Skimmers" on ATMs and Point of Sale machines that collect your card information.
If you believe you have become a victim of fraud:

• Contact UNCLE Credit Union immediately
• File a complaint with your local police department, Better Business Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Internet Crime Complaint Center
