Protect Yourself Against Fraud - SCAM ALERT
It is always important to take measures to protect yourself by not sharing passwords, always checking your account for unknown activity, and being aware of phishing attempts from unsolicited websites. A good rule to follow is that if the email or phone call is an offer too good to be true - then it is most likely a SCAM, and do not respond. Remember, New Horizons Credit Union has systems in place that monitors members’ accounts for possible fraud. You may be contacted if fraud is suspected, but NHCU will never ask for personal information such as online credentials, your entire card number, account number, or social security number via email, voice, or text messaging. If you ever feel you have been a victim of fraud, please contact us at (251) 316-3240 during normal business hours, or for after-hours, call (800) 449-7728. You may also contact the Federal Trade Commission to report fraud at identitytheft.gov.
