Stay Ahead of Scams
Recently, many area residents have been contacted via a cell phone by an automated system. The message notifies the individual that their debit/credit card has been deactivated. It further advises that the individual should call the 800 number provided in order to re-activate their cards. Unfortunately, this is a common practice that scammers are using to obtain individuals debit/credit card information with the intentions of defrauding the individual.
BCT does not communicate with our members via text message or automated systems to notify of such issues. If you receive a text message or phone call please do not respond to their requests. You should notify your credit union or bank immediately as well as your local police department. The more complaints they receive the closer they may get to locating the root of the problem.
The following websites will keep you updated on the scams so that you don't become a victim:
