Don’t be a victim of Check Fraud through the Internet.

There are many scams on the Internet designed to steal your money. If you have sold an item over the Internet and you receive a check for larger than the amount — You may be holding a fraudulent check right now! A reputable person or company would not write a check for larger than the agreed upon amount and ask you to wire the difference back to them. You are usually asked to NOT wire the money from your own Financial Institution.

Watch for the warning signs:

• You receive a check for an amount that is larger than
  agreed sum

• You are asked to deposit the check in your account and wire
  the difference back to the sender

• You are asked to wire the money from a location other than
  your Financial Institution

• The recipient is in a foreign country

If you think you have a fraudulent check, please see a branch representative immediately. Or, contact our Call Center at 800-743-7228.

The Credit Union is not responsible for any losses you incur in this type of fraud.
