As fraud attempts continue to rise across the country, it’s more important than ever to know how to protect your personal information. Scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, often posing as trusted organizations like credit unions to trick people into handing over sensitive data or even making purchases on their behalf.
At Day Air Credit Union, your security is our top priority. That’s why we want to make it clear: we will never contact you asking for personal or account information.
What Day Air Will Never Ask You To Share
If someone contacts you claiming to be from Day Air and asks for any of the following information, it’s a scam:
-
Social Security Number
-
Credit or Debit Card Numbers
-
Security Code or CVV
-
PIN (Personal Identification Number)
-
Home Address or Date of Birth
-
Online Banking Username or Password
-
One-Time Verification Codes
We will also never ask you to send money, purchase gift cards, or take any action on our behalf. These are common scam tactics used to pressure individuals into acting quickly before they can stop and verify.
Understanding Gift Card Scams
Gift card scams are a prevalent method used by fraudsters. They often pose as authority figures or organizations you trust, claiming urgent situations that require immediate payment via gift cards. Remember:
-
No legitimate organization will request payment via gift cards.
-
Never share gift card numbers or PINs with anyone you don’t know.
-
If you’re asked to buy gift cards to pay a bill or fee, it’s a scam.
What to Do If You Receive a Suspicious Message
If you receive a phone call, text, email, or pop-up asking for any of the information listed above:
-
Do not respond.
-
Hang up or delete the message immediately.
-
Do not click on any suspicious links or download unexpected attachments.
When in doubt, always reach out to us directly using a trusted method.
