Phishing Links
Over the last few days Dort Federal and some other local banks/credit unions have been hit by a phishing scam. The phishing came in the form of calls to members that said their debit card was blocked and, to unblock, enter their debit card number and other information.
How can you tell the difference between a legitimate call or email from your financial institution and a fake one? The biggest tip off that a call or email is phishing is if the message is asking you to confirm your account or credit card information. We know your account and credit card information. We don’t need to ask you for that. We may ask you for that information when you’ve called us with a question, but that is only to help confirm your identity and protect your account. We will not, out of the blue, contact you and ask you for your credit card information.
