Allegius does not and will never contact members via email, phone or mail to request or verify account numbers, account passwords, social security numbers, passwords, personal identification numbers (PINs), or ANY private personal information!
Tips to help protect you:
• Always go directly to Allegius Credit Union ’s website by typing “www.allegius.org” directly into the browser address bar. Never click on unverified links in emails, in pop-up ads, or on other unknown sites.
• Be aware of sites that have misspellings, grammar mistakes or different graphics.
Be Aware of "Phishing"
Below is an example of a phishing attack; 'spoofed' e-mails and fraudulent Web sites designed to fool recipients like in these examples.
In the above example, the highlighed text contains the domain name "www.allegius.org", but the real link behind the text takes the user to a bogus website.
Phishing attacks use 'spoofed' e-mails and fraudulent Web sites designed to fool recipients
into divulging personal financial data such as credit card numbers, account numbers, account usernames and
passwords, Social Security Numbers, etc. By hijacking the trusted brands of well-known
financial institutions, online retailers and credit card companies, phishers are able to convince
many recipients to respond to them.
