Fraud Tips & Alerts

We update this page regularly to provide our members with information regarding current scams and other fraud trends.

Phishing is where criminals attempt to collect account numbers, personal identification numbers (PINs), usernames, passwords and other important information from individuals via faulty emails, websites, phone calls, links, etc. They then use the compromised information to access online banking accounts and/or commit identity fraud.

Remember, ITCU will NEVER contact you to verify security information such as account numbers, passwords or other personal information, we already have such information on file. Security verification information should only be requested when you initiate the contact with the credit union. This includes being locked out of Online Banking; if you become locked out of Online Banking, you will be notified during the login process, not by an unsolicited email. If ITCU sends you a text message fraud alert, it should only ask you to verify the validity of your most recent transaction via a “yes” or “no” response.
