We have been made aware of a fraud trend where individuals are being contacted by what appears to be their financial institution via phone call or text. They are then asked to verify their personal information, and/or provide a one-time passcode sent to their mobile device. The credit union would never call and ask for personal information such as your card number, PIN, or password.
