Your Path to Growth
Finding out some cyber-villain has taken your hard-earned cash, especially during the holidays when finances are already stretched thin, is one of the worst feelings. Here at UFCW Community FCU, we take your financial security seriously. That's why we've compiled a list of best practices to keep your money safe from sneaky online fiends.
Have you ever been contacted by phone, computer, Facebook, or any other social media message method by someone and asked to send money to them through Bitcoin, gift cards, or wiring funds in exchange for gifts or cash?
Do they claim to have an interest in a relationship with you or wish to marry you?
Has anyone deposited money into your account or sent you a check in the mail for no known reason and requested that you send some of the money back to them?
Have they warned you to keep it quiet and not to tell anyone?
Scammers use tricky methods to cheat you and cause you financial harm. They may promise you that you won't get into trouble, but if you go along with it, you are part of the scam, and the authorities will be contacted. Stay safe and don't get involved!
