WARNING! New phising attack on the loose in NC
Feb 26th
This is just to alert people that the identity thieves and account thieves have started using a new tactic to steal your personal information and get access to your account. They have now started sending out random text messages to cell phones with the following (or similar) text:
From: auto-notice@ncsecu.org
Message: State Employees CU urgent notification:unusual activity. Please verify your online information at 877-336-6029
In this text message, the domain of the sender is valid, although the email is not, and the phone number does *not* belong to the credit union, no matter if they answer like it does or not. In addition, they are sending these text messages blindly. I don’t have a SECU account, and I got one. So they are spamming a *LOT* of people.
