Phishing Scam E-mails

The email claiming to be from Lafayette Federal Credit Union appears to be a variation of a common phishing scam. Instead of directing you to a website, you are asked to call a toll free number (which is not listed on the LaFayette Federal Credit Union website). You may be asked to provide or verify personal information such as bank account information, credit card information, social security information and password information. If you get such an e-mail, you should delete it and do not provide any of the requested information. However, if you are not convinced that you have a fraudulent e-mail, please contact LaFayette Federal Credit Union directly (phone: 800-888-6560) and explain the e-mail you received. If you give out any personal information, contact LaFayette Federal Credit Union immediately and depending on what information you gave out, it may be wise to take measures to protect against identity theft (e.g. contact credit agencies, close accounts, cleanse computer). Many e-mail solicitations that appear to be phishing e-mails are set forth throughout this website and below:
