Don't be fooled:

Caller id scammers

 

Scammers are using fake bank and credit union caller IDs to call and ask for banking and personal information.

Here’s How the Scam Works:

 

Through a variety of ways, a scammer steals a bank card number. Then:

• The scammer enters the number into an Android or iPhone digital wallet app.
• The digital wallet app texts a verification code to the victim’s phone.
• The scammer calls the victim, using a fake caller ID, and asks them to verify recent charges.
• When the victim says they are fraudulent, the scammer asks for the verification code to "confirm" the victim’s identity.
• If the victim gives them the code, the scammer can activate the digital wallet and start spending the victim’s money.

Do Not Be Fooled!

School District 3 Federal Credit Union will never CALL you and ask for your:

• PIN.
• Online banking username and password.
• CVV2 code.
• Full Social Security number.
• Verification code.

For your safety, if you call School District 3 Federal Credit Union, we will ask for identifying information.
