Fraudulent text messages, containing fake delivery notifications and tracking links, are being sent to residents claiming to be from the United States Postal Service (USPS). These messages, known as smishing text messages, come from scammers with the goal of stealing personal information such as passwords and credit card numbers, from their victims. With the increase in online shopping and delivery tracking, these scams are becoming more frequent.

MSGCU recommends these tips to help keep your information safe:

• Do not click unknown links especially from numbers you do not recognize or expect a link from.
• Never share your password or security pins with others
• Keep close tabs on your MSGCU account. Log in to the MSGCU Mobile App or Online Banking often and review your monthly statements. Contact MSGCU if anything doesn’t look correct.
• Change your password often and use complex passwords for your MSGCU account. Read more about password protection.
• Set up alerts on your account for added visibility on account changes or transactions.
• Add a password to your MSGCU account for in-person or phone-based transactions for extra protection.
• Contact us at (866) 674-2824 immediately if you believe your identity has been compromised.
