What
is Smishing?
If
you have received a text from the Credit Union... it is
FRAUDULENT! DO NOT RESPOND to it or click on any links
that may be within it
Smishing
is the mobile phone counterpart to phishing. Instead of
being directed by e-mail to a Web site, a text message
is sent to the user's cell phone with some ploy to click
on a link or call a number. The link causes a Trojan Virus
to be installed in the phone. The number will ask you
for your account information and then take your information.
REMEMBER...Memorial
Employees FCU will not solicit personal or account information
via email, text or telephone. Do not respond to any text
message in any way, and always delete the message. If
you have any questions, regarding a questionable message,
do not hesitate to contact us or stop by one of our branches.
