FRAUD ALERT - June 22, 2005
Last week, we heard about another problem with credit cards and other personal information being compromised. We have received many calls from members concerned about their accounts. FCU monitors all credit card, check card, and checking account activity on a daily basis. If we feel your account information has been compromised, or may have been compromised, we will contact you directly.

If you feel the need to make changes, just contact one of our offices. Member Service Representatives will assist you. However, with our monitoring in place, we do not feel this is necessary at this time. Again, at the first indication of a problem, you will be contacted by us.

It is always a good idea to closely monitor your account activity. Now, more than ever before, accessing your FCU accounts via home banking allows you the peace of mind knowing that your funds are safe. We urge all members to utilize this free service and check your accounts regularly.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, there were over 14,000 cases of identity theft in Florida alone in 2003! Unfortunately, that number continues to grow every day.

The most common types of identity theft are:
• Using or opening a credit card account fraudulently
• Opening cell phone or utility accounts fraudulently
• Passing bad checks or opening a new bank account
• Getting loans in another person's name
• Working in another person's name
