Fraudulent 'account de-activation' emails from CUNA

Team One and the Credit Union National Assocation (CUNA) is aware of number of emails that are circulating under the subject of "account de-activation", "account status alert", or "changes to terms and conditions".

These emails ask that the customer call a toll-free number in order to have their account reactivated. Some may request that you leave callback information or provide your financial information directly.

All of these emails are fraudulent.

The Credit Union National Association is the trade association for credit unions in the US. CUNA does not maintain any type of customer/member financial information.

To report suspicious emails from "CUNA", you can contact abuse@cuna.org.
