Scam & Security Awareness

Scam Alert

There are two spoofing scams that are impacting MVCU Members:

Spoofing is when someone disguises a phone number to look like MVCU's to convince you that you're interacting with us. 

If you are coached on how to respond to the credit union, do not proceed with the transaction.  If you are ever asked to provide personal information or are unsure about proceeding with a transaction, hang up, and call 800-356-0067 to verify if that conversation was legitimate.  Our goal is your financial safety and security!  

Protect yourself from scams

Fraudsters are getting more sophisticated and more convincing. It’s getting harder to know when you’re being scammed, but there are some tips to follow to keep your money safe!

  • Never allow a representative from any company to access your account through online or mobile banking.
  • Also, never allow someone to remotely deposit checks to your account.
  • Never give your online or mobile banking password to anyone.
  • Never provide a refund or return via gift cards or cryptocurrency (BitCoin).
  • If you have to pay money to a company or person to get a larger amount of money from them, then it’s a scam.
  • If you are coached on what to say to a Credit Union representative, do not proceed with the transaction.
  • Never send cash back via the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx, or UPS.
  • If MVCU calls you, we will never ask you for your Debit Card PIN, Online Banking Password, or Account Number.

To verify your identity, an MVCU Representative may ask you to answer security questions, which may include your Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Driver’s License Number, Mother’s Maiden Name, a recent transaction, or a text verification code.

Our goal is your financial safety and security. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call 800.356.0067. We’re here to help!
