A Credit Union here in Georgia notified our statewide organization this morning that a phone number from Canada is auto dialing phone numbers in their area of GA. The message that is left is- “This is the security alert team for XYZ CU. Your card has been blocked due to recent activity that could have been fraudulent. To have your card re-activated, call 819-536-6014.” When you call that #, it asks for card # and PIN to re-activate the card. Obviously, no CU would ever ask for this info by phone. This is a phone fraud phishing scam.
If you receive a call from this organization, do not return their call or give them information. Please let us know if you receive a call from this organization.
