Emails

Emails can appear from us, but be cautious! Everyone has an email, making them the most popular tool for scammers. Often, these bad actors pose as companies, even financial institutions. 

Be Suspicious of Links

If an email urges you to click a link to verify your login credentials or make a payment, it's likely a scam. We will never make such requests via email. To stay safe, avoid clicking links in unsolicited emails. Instead, hover over the link to check its true destination. If you're uncertain, contact us directly or visit our website by typing wpccu.org into your browser. 

Scare Tactics are Red Flags

We will never use scare tactics, threats, or high-pressure language to prompt quick action, but scammers do. If you receive urgent demands, be on high alert. Regardless of how genuine an email looks, never respond with personal information such as your password, PIN, or Social Security number.

Be Skeptical of Every Email

Always treat incoming email as a potential risk to protect you from scams. Fraudulent emails can appear very convincing, using official language and logos, and even similar URLs. Always be alert!

Look Out for Attachments and Typos

We will never send unexpected email attachments like PDFs. Be cautious of any misspellings and poor grammar, as these are common signs of phishing scams.
