Front-line staff who stay alert for signs of fraud and educate members to do the same effectively protect members and credit union assets, says a new white paper by the CUNA Operations, Sales & Service (OpSS) Council. “Too Good to Be True: Detection and Prevention Of Common Scams” describes what members are most at risk of scams, examines 5 common types of scams through the eyes of 4 credit union professionals, and provides suggestions and resources for credit unions seeking to strengthen their defenses against . . .
- Lottery scams, one of the most common types of mass-marketing fraud, a crime using telemarketing or bulk mail;
- Work-at-home scams, often starting with a job offer via mail or e-mail;
- Phishing, smishing, and vishing, scams using e-mail, text, or telephone to entice members into personal financial information;
- Debit and ATM scams, often starting with a card-reader and wireless camera attached to an ATM or gas pump to capture card information; and
- Wire fraud, often involving someone falsely representing the member, requesting a transfer of funds via Western Union.
CUNA Council members are entitled to complimentary copies of these and more than 200 white papers; $50 for non-members. The paper is available online
