BCTFCU -- Broome County Federal Credit Union

Recruitment Scam

Please be advised that Fraud rings around the United States are recruiting individuals to open accounts at credit unions with the intent to committ fraud. Once the account is opened, the individual applies for a Debit card with a PIN number and.or a checking account. The card and PIN or checking account information is then used for fraudulent purposes. These same fraud rings are also recruiting existing credit union members willing to sell personal or financial information. The member will then be instructed to file a claim with the credit union that the transactions completed were fraudulent.

If a member reports such a case they may be required to file a police report and may be required to press charges against those individuals that recruited them and they may also be required to sign documentation, under penalty or perjury stating they did not participate in the fraudulent activity.
