PARDA Credit Union - Internet / Email Fraud Alert

Internet / E-Mail Fraud Alert

Recently, there have been multiple e-mail fraud attempts, known as "Phishing”, that were initiated via e-mail sent to both the general public and to some credit union members that appeared to be from NCUA. This false e-mail asked for the recipient to click on a link to verify their credit union account registration. If the recipient proceeded to do so, the link directed them to a false website and asked for their credit union account number and PIN, along with other personal information.

NCUA does not ask credit unions members for such personal information. Anyone who receives an e-mail that purports to be from NCUA and asks for account information should consider it to be a fraudulent attempt to obtain their personal account data for an illegal purpose and should not follow the instructions in the e-mail.
If you responded to such an e-mail and provided any confidential account information, please notify your credit union immediately of the scheme. You should also change your account’s PIN, and take any additional action recommended by your credit union to protect your account.

Formal complaints can be filed with http://www.IC3.gov

NOTICE OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY NCUA INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS

All funds in a ''noninterest-bearing transaction account'' are insured in full by the National Credit Union Administration through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to members under the NCUA's general share insurance rules.

The term ''noninterest-bearing transaction account'' includes a traditional share draft account on which the insured credit union pays no interest or dividend. It does not include any transaction account that may earn interest or dividends, PARDA Premier Account, Primary Shares, Share Certificates and Sub-Accounts, even if share drafts may be drawn on the account. For more information about temporary NCUA insurance coverage of transaction accounts, www.ncua.gov
