Phishing Scam E-mails
The email claiming to be from NCUA or the National Credit Union Administration
and instructing you to restore your account appears
to be a phishing scam. Phishing e-mails are e-mails from scam
artists who use official looking webpages designed to trick you into
believing they are from a corporate website that you have an account with. Once you are at
the site, they will ask you 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 NCUA directly and explain the e-mail
you received. If you give out any personal information, contact NCUA
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 email solicitations that appear to
be phishing emails are set forth throughout this website and below:

Dear Client ,
NCUA is constantly working to ensure
security by regularly screening the accounts in our system. We
recently reviewed your account, and we need more information to
help us provide you with secure service. Until we can collect this
information, your access to sensitive account features will be
limited. We would like to restore your access as soon as possible,
and we apologize for the inconvenience.
- Why is my account access limited?
- Your account access has been limited for the following reason(s):
- * May 12, 2006: We have reason to believe that your account was
accessed by a third party. Because protecting the security of your
account is our primary concern, we have limited access to
sensitive Washington Mutual account features. We understand that
this may be an inconvenience but please understand that this
temporary limitation is for your protection.
(Your case ID for this reason is THEFT-3150019066.)
How can I restore my account access?
This limitation cannot be appealed.
- We encourage you to restore full access as soon as possible.

Once you complete all of the checklist items, your case will be
reviewed by one of our Account Specialists. We will send you an
email with the outcome of the review.
Thanks for your patience as we work together to protect your
account
