Bogus Federal Credit Unions (FCU) account verification email

The latest Phishing scam email targets Credit Unions specifically claiming to be from the Credit Union administration office NCUA.  The aim of this Phishing scam is to fraudulently obtain your Credit Union account information.  Phishing emails typically ask you to email your account information or may load an Internet web page where you would be prompted to enter your account information.  These emails and/or web pages may have the appearance of an being from a legitimate source but they are in fact created by scam artists to fraudulently obtain your account information. 

DO NOT under any circumstances provide your account information to anyone by email.  Old Hickory Credit Union or any Credit Union affiliated entity will never ask you to verify your account information through an email.  If you ever have any question about the legitimacy of an email you receive, call the Old Hickory Credit Union directly at (615) 847-4043 Ext. 7166.
