Fraud Alert! -- Text Message Scam

The purpose of this fraud alert is to inform you of a scam that involves unsolicited text messages, "SMISHING", sent to cell phones. The text message tells the recipient that their account has been frozen and they need to call a phone number to reactivate their account.
First Educators Credit Union does not and will not text members for account information. Cell phone users should be wary of unsolicited text messages. Such messages should be deleted and all deleted text messages should be removed, if possible, as the perpetrators have been known to use Spyware in conjunction with their text message solicitation.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of one of these text messages we encourage you to report the incident to the credit bureaus and request a copy of your credit report.
