CUANM Fraud Awareness

 

Fraud Fails When We Stand Together

At Zia Credit Union, looking out for our members is part of who we are. That includes helping you stay safe from fraud.

Scammers are getting more sophisticated, often using texts, emails, phone calls, or social media messages that feel convincing. The good news? A few simple steps can make a big difference.

STOP if a message pressures you to act fast or keep things secret.
VERIFY by using a phone number or app you trust.
REPORT suspicious activity to us so we can help and protect others.

 

Fraud prevention isn’t about fear. It’s about community. When we share information and look out for one another, fraud fails.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and call us. We’re always here to help.


Investment Scams

Scammers promise high returns with little risk.

Job Scams

Looking for work? Scammers know it, and they’re watching.

Romance Scams

Romance scams start with a connection. Scammers build trust over time before asking for “help” that feels natural and urgent.

Spoofed Call Scams

You get a call that looks like it’s from your credit union or a government agency. They say your account is compromised and you need to act now. That urgency is a red flag.

STOP • VERIFY • REPORT

Scammers succeed when they rush, confuse, or isolate people. We succeed when we pause, ask questions, and look out for one another.

Scams succeed in silence. They fail when people speak up. If something feels off, trust your instincts.
