There has been an increase in Internet Fraud of late. In all cases the PC being used was infected with a Trojan virus, including internet cafe/library or unsecured terminals. While the Credit Union's internet banking system itself is safe and has not been compromised, the frauds have occurred when a PC is infected.

For your own protection, Members are urged not to conduct internet banking from these locations, and to keep your home computer updated with the latest Internet Security software.

Fraudsters have been known to set up copies of banking sites with the purpose of capturing personal personal security details. They send out an email that instructs the recipient to.disclose personal security details such as your PIN, Internet Banking Passwords and EFT Card details or require you to click on links or attachments within the email to update or verify details.
