UKFCU Fraud Awareness Center - Phishing

Thieves are creating "Phishing" emails and false websites in an effort to "phish" for account information from trusting individuals.  Because these emails and websites have what appear to be actual logos from financial intuitions, payment companies (i.e. Paypal), and other organizations (i.e. NCUA), trusting individuals provide their account information.  Within a short period of time, members who have provided their account information may have unauthorized credit and ATM transactions on their accounts.

The University of Kentucky Federal Credit Union will never request that you update your account information via online methods.  We encourage our members to disregard any emails or websites requesting personal and/or account information.
