FW: Your Internet Banking

Guys,
 
Penny and I got this today and it looks like a technique called "phishing".  Phishing is a way for someone to try to get your banking and personal information.  They send an official looking email to you and ask you to click on a link (see message below - I've deleted the link).  If you go to the link, they will try to get you to give them information, like your banking passwords, credit card number, and 3-digit security code from the back of your credit cards.  Don't go to links like this.
 
I sent this information on to TCU, and to 2 government agencies.  The government has a website to tell you what to do in these instances.   Here it is:  http://onguardonline.gov/index.html
 
Love and God Bless
 
Mike

Dear Teachers Credit Union customer,

This e-mail was sent to you because we have detected an error in your billing information on file with Internet Banking during our regular schedule account maintenance and verification. This might be due to either following reasons:

  • A recent change in your personal information (i.e. change of address).  
  • Submitting invalid information during the initial sign up process.
  • An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due an internal error with our processors.

Click the link below and confirm your Internet Banking personal information, otherwise your Debit/ATM Card access will become restricted:
