How to Avoid Phishing Scams
Scammers pretend to be people and companies you trust. Here’s how to spot them.
Don’t overshare
CECU will never ask for your full password or PIN by email or text.
Pause before you click
Check the sender, and type our web address yourself when you’re unsure.
Don’t be rushed
Scammers use urgency and fear. A real account issue can wait for a verified call.
Credit Bureau Fraud Alerts
Contact one bureau to place an alert, and it will notify the other two.
