Fraud calls are on the rise and becoming more sophisticated, using robocalls, caller ID spoofing, and even AI. With millions of robocalls placed each year, staying vigilant is key.
How to Spot a Fraud Call
• Unexpected calls: Be cautious of unsolicited calls from unknown numbers, especially claiming to be from trusted organizations.
• Urgency: Scammers push you to act quickly to avoid consequences.
• Personal info requests: Never give out sensitive information over the phone.
• Too-good-to-be-true offers: Don’t fall for unbelievable prizes or deals.
• Suspicious caller IDs: Fraudsters spoof trusted numbers to look legitimate.
What to Do
1. Hang up immediately if you suspect a fraud call.
2. Verify by calling the organization directly using their official contact details.
3. Report to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
4. Block suspicious numbers using your phone or an app.
Stay Safe
• Use call blocking tools to filter out robocalls.
• Register on the Do Not Call List to reduce unsolicited calls.
• Monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions.
At Sebasticook Valley FCU, we will never call and ask for personal information like your account number or PIN. If you’re ever unsure about a call or message, we’re here to help. Contact us directly to verify any concerns and protect your account.
