Three Rivers Federal Credit Union, Fort Wayne is warning its customers to be wary of a phishing scam that is currently attempting to con them. The bank has reported several of its customers complaining of receiving automated phone calls raising an alert against their accounts. The recorded messages inform customers that network security of the bank was breached. This puts their individual accounts along with their identities at risk of being stolen, the messages would further claim.
It asks customers to call at a certain number to protect themselves against a break-in. When customers call on the given number, they are asked for account-related confidential information, purportedly to make sure the account was theirs.
Three Rivers Federal Credit Union categorically states that it has nothing to do with the phone calls. Its network security, it reassures, is intact and all information of their customers are safe and undisturbed.
The phone calls are just part of a scam trying to con customers into giving away their account access codes. Those who were visited by the scam and would like more information are asked to either visit any of the Union’s branches or to contact their Member Relations Center at 800.825.3641 ext. 2940.
