Unfortunately, fraud is an ever present and increasing reality of the world we live in. Each day at MMFCU we are making a difference in the fight against scammers by:
- preventing fraud from occurring,
- identifying it when it is happening,
- helping our member owners who have fallen victim, and
- reporting fraud when it occurs.
We want to remind you NOT to provide account information over the phone or click on links included in emails or texts you were not expecting. Never provide your financial information such as debit and credit card account number or online banking information, unless you have initiated the phone call or purchase. Scammers are using words and phone numbers to mimic people and places that you trust, like your credit union. MMFCU will never ask for your account number if we call you. We will not ask for any personal information via telephone or email that you, the member, has not initiated. If you are unsure if a phone call, email or text is legitimate, call us at (218) 829-0371. After hours, you can call 1-866-820-8776, 24/7 for help with MMFCU Debit or Credit Cards. Do not return calls via a phone number provided by the "in-question" call, email or text. If you think you have been a victim of fraud, or would like more tips to keep yourself protected, check out our Fraud Checklist.
