How can DCCU help you today?
Social media quizzes are a seemingly fun and carefree way to pass time, but these quizzes may be designed to collect your sensitive information in an attempt to use it to gain your account information. Not all social media quizzes are data collection scams, but you should still proceed with caution before sharing any personal details online. For more information, please visit the Better Business Bureau’s website.
Social engineering is the act of tricking someone into disclosing a piece of valuable information such as a username, password, credit card number, or social security number. These attacks take advantage of human vulnerabilities such as emotions, trust, or habits in order to convince individuals to take action such as click a fraudulent link, visiting a malicious website, or sending unrecoverable funds to someone (often outside the country).
Phishing is the act of sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that may be used for fraud or identity theft. The email directs the user to visit a website where they are asked to update personal information such as: passwords, credit/debit card info, Social Security numbers, and the credit union/bank account numbers that the legitimate organization already has. The website, however, is a spoof and set up only to steal the user’s information.
STAY SECURE
To help our members better understand fraud, scams, and cyber security threats, the National Center Union Administration (NCUA) released a two-part video series on how to recognize, avoid, and report cyber fraud.
Credit and debit card fraud is the unauthorized use of card information to fraudulently make purchases and/or access funds. It can occur when cards are lost or stolen, in the midst of a data breech, or when account information is revealed and used in a scam.
Helpful Tips:
In addition to the implementation of advanced physical and electronic monitoring, our ATM card readers have now been equipped with hardware which will further deter tampering. If the card reader or surrounding hardware is modified or damaged, the ATM will be immediately taken out of service. Additionally, pin-pad guards have been installed on all of our ATMs.
DCCU now utilizes chip technology to transmit data during transactions, rather than through the traditional magnetic strip. When your card is inserted, in the ATM, the card reader will clamp down on your card, securing it in place during the transaction. Your card will be released once the transaction is complete.
We encourage your continued vigilance in helping to prevent ATM skimming in our community. When visiting an ATM or using any type of merchant card reader, we encourage you to take these steps to help protect yourself:
