These fraudulent e-mails appear to be from the NCUA (National Credit Union Administration), and include a link to a website where the recipient is asked to enter personal information. If you receive such an e-mail, DO NOT click on the included link. Please refer to the notice from the NCUA regarding what to do if you receive one of these fraudulent e-mails. This notice is posted below, and may also be found on the NCUA website at www.ncua.gov. ====================== NCUA Internet/E-mail Fraud Alert 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. If you feel that you have received a fraudulent phishing e-mail purportedly from NCUA please forward the entire e-mail message to Phishing@ncua.gov Additionally, you can file formal complaints concerning any suspected fraudulent e-mail with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) at http://www.IC3.gov . The IFCC is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the National White Collar Crime Center.
