Internet/Electronic
Mail Fraud Alert
Pinnacle Credit
Union would like to remind all members that we will never solicit
personal or account related information via email. Should you receive
any such requests, please forward them to inquire@pinnaclecu.org
for investigation.
National
Credit Union Administration (NCUA) - http://www.ncua.gov/phishing/phishing.htm
Recently, there
have been multiple e-mail fraud attempts, known as "Phishing,
that were initiated via e-mail sent to both the general public and
to some credit union members that appeared to be from NCUA. This
false e-mail asked for the recipient to click on a link to verify
their credit union account registration. If the recipient proceeded
to do so, the link directed them to a false website and asked for
their credit union account number and PIN, along with other personal
information.
NCUA does not
ask credit unions members for such personal information. Anyone
who receives an e-mail that purports to be from NCUA and asks for
account information should consider it to be a fraudulent attempt
to obtain their personal account data for an illegal purpose and
should not follow the instructions in the e-mail.
If you responded
to such an e-mail and provided any confidential account information,
please notify your credit union immediately of the scheme. You should
also change your accounts PIN, and take any additional action
recommended by your credit union to protect your account.
If you feel
that you have received a fraudulent phishing e-mail purportedly
from NCUA please forward the entire e-mail message to Phishing@ncua.gov.
Additionally,
you can file formal complaints concerning any suspected fraudulent
e-mail with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) at ncua@ic3.gov.
The IFCC is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
and the National White Collar Crime Center.

Will
your insurance pay off your loan if your car is totaled?
Guaranteed Auto
Protection (GAP) protects you financially if your vehicle is totaled
or stolen. In such a situation, your primary insurance carrier will
usually pay only the actual cash value (current market value) of
your vehicle less your deductible. This amount could be substantially
lower than your loan balance. GAP will cover the difference between
your loan payoff and your primary insurance company settlement,
so that you can move on to purchasing another vehicle.
Speak with your
Loan Officer for additional information.

with new functionality, as well as an improved user interface. In
