"$50.00 Reward" Survey Is A Phish

Please be aware of any fraudulent “$50.00 Reward” e-mails that you may receive by email.  These surveys are part of recent scams aimed at securing confidential personal data for possible identity theft.

E-mails are being sent in the name of CUNA (Credit Union National Association) and NCUA (National Credit Union Administration). The CUNA phish uses a subject line: "Get your $50.00 Reward Survey with Credit Union National Association." The message includes the America’s Credit Unions brand logo.

The text of the NCUA message is addressed to "Dear National Credit Union Administration Customer," offers a survey with five easy questions, and a $50 credit to the recipient’s account.

Neither CUNA nor NCUA are financial institutions; they don’t have consumer accounts. The recipient message asks the recipient to click on the link. There, the recipient is asked for financial information.

If you receive a "$50 Reward" email, do not click on the links provided. These emails should be deleted.<hr>

National Credit Union Administration (NCUA)

Clearview Federal Credit Union is aware that there are multiple e-mail fraud attempts, known as “Phishing,” being initiated via e-mail sent to both Clearview members and the general public that appear to be from the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). These e-mails may ask for the recipient to click on a link to verify their credit union account registration. If the recipient proceeds, the link will direct them to a false Web site and ask for their credit union account number and pin, as well as other personal information.

These messages are a scam and should be deleted immediately. Clearview will never solicit e-mails requesting your credit union account number, password, pin number, or other personal identity information. We remind you to only enter your personal account information from a secure Web site.

If you have already responded to such an e-mail and provided any confidential information, please notify Clearview immediately by calling 1-800-926-0003. We will be happy to assist you with changing your account pin number, as well as in taking any additional action to protect your Clearview account.

If you feel that you have received a fraudulent phishing e-mail purportedly from NCUA please forward the entire e-mail message to <a href="mailto:Phishing@ncua.gov">Phishing@ncua.gov</a>.

Additionally, you can file formal complaints concerning any suspected fraudulent e-mail with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) at <a href="http://www.ic3.gov">www.ic3.gov</a>. The IFCC is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the National White Collar Crime Center.
