Knowledge is the best way to protect yourself from getting scammed!
These pointers can help you defend yourself from becoming the victim of fraud:
We will never call you and ask you for your card number, card PIN, online banking password, or your full social security number.
Be cautious of solicited calls and emails claiming to be MECECU staff. If we need to get ahold of you, we will leave you a voicemail. Or you can call us at 573-634-2595 to confirm we are trying to reach you.
The card fraud center will request a response for potential fraud by detailing the charge and asking for a “V” for valid or a “F” for fraud. They will do so through text first, then email and finally a call.
Never give someone else your online credentials or PIN number to your debit card.
If something seems suspicious about a call, text or email, always contact the source independently through a reputable website.
Don’t click on links when you are not expecting one or from untrusted sources.
Never click on ads in social media pages to make a purchase. Often times, those ads will push you towards a fake website that is looking to obtain your card information.
Be cautious paying someone using Venmo, PayPal, CashApp, or other person-to-person payment methods. Once you pay someone, it is nearly impossible to get the money back if it is a scam.
If someone is asking you to purchase gift cards and send them the gift card information, be aware that this is likely a scam.
Monitor your account activity to catch any fraudulent transactions as soon as possible.
Keep all passwords in a safe location that only you are aware of.
