Several credit unions nationwide are reporting an uptick in the number of automated phishing calls seeking to obtain personal information from members.
Some recent incidents:
1. Several Wisconsin credit unions report scam artists are using automated phone calls with recordings that ask members to divulge personal financial information, according to the Wisconsin Credit Union League. Phishing calls reported Tuesday claimed the member's credit and/or debit card had been locked and asked for the card number to unlock it. The Credit Union National Association also noted variations on scam tactics and said unsolicited requests for personal information have circulated under the subjects: "Account Deactivation," "Account Status Alert," "Changes to Terms and Conditions," and "Irregular Activity."
