Phishing Alert - June 2008 - URGENT PHISHING SCAM!
US Airways Credit Union has learned of a National Association of Federal Credit Union email circulating to the general public requesting personal member information by visiting a specific website.
Members should never send sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, social security numbers, secret words, or PINs in an email or submit it through a web site. In addition, members should never click directly on links in an email that requests sensitive information, even if they recognize and trust the address. These links can redirect you to a fake -- though very real looking -- Web site.
If you have received or responded to this fraudulent message, contact US Airways Credit Union immediately.
Remember:
- Never provide personal or account information in response to any unsolicited request (by email or by phone).
- Beware of any unsolicited email that threatens to close or suspend your account(s) or online account access.
- Beware of any unsolicited email that requests you provide personal account information that US Airways Credit Union should already know.
If you are unsure if any message you receive is legitimate (email, phone call, etc.), please contact US Airways Credit Union directly for verification
Phishing Alert - Jan 20, 2006
Fraudulent email attacks, known as Phishing (defined), have been dramatically increasing in frequency over the last several weeks. The Credit Union has identified more than one fraudulent email bearing the Credit Union name and logo. The linked web sites look nearly identical to the Credit Union web site and use domain names (web site addresses) that are very similar to the Credit Union's. For example, the domain names used in these attacks include but are not limited to the following:
- www.usairwayscu.org
- www.yourcredit.com
The following links show examples of some Phishing attempts reported to the Credit Union.
Do not respond to any emails requesting personal or account information.
The Credit Union does not send emails requesting members to update their account information. The Credit Union does not request personal information via email unless the communication was first initiated by a member request. The Credit Union highly recommends that any personal information be made by contacting our Call Center at (310) 640-1880 or (800) 421-6887 (outside California).
