HELPFUL TIPS

Here are some tips to help protect yourself from text scams:

Don’t click on links or respond to unexpected texts or emails. If a message seems suspicious, don’t click on any links or respond in any way. Instead, contact Strata Credit Union directly.

Filter unwanted texts. Most phones can filter out spam and messages from unknown senders. Use this feature to protect yourself from unwanted texts.

Never give out personal or financial information in response to an unexpected request. Strata Credit Union will never ask for this information over text. If someone asks for your personal or financial information, it’s a scam.

Talk to someone you trust. If you receive a suspicious text or email, talk to someone you trust before doing anything else. Talking about it could help you realize it’s a scam.

Additional tips to help you:

Be suspicious of any text or emails that ask you to verify your account information. Legitimate companies will never ask you to do this over text.

Beware of texts and emails that contain urgent threats or warnings. Scammers often try to create a sense of urgency to pressure people into acting quickly.

Check the sender’s phone number or email address. If the number or email is unfamiliar, it’s best to ignore the text.

Use a secure internet connection when banking online or making financial transactions. This will help protect your information from being intercepted by scammers.

Following these tips can help you protect yourself from scams. So stay vigilant, and help keep your information safe!
