Dupaco Alerts Members About Phone Scam

Dupaco Community Credit Union is alerting members about a recent phone scam. According to a release, some members have been receiving fraudulent calls from people claiming to be Dupaco employees warning of possible card fraud. Some of the scammers also set up travel notices on members’ cards so they would continue to work out of state. The credit union warned that those calls are part of a scam in which callers hope to gain information about a member’s account in order to take money. The callers can make it appear as though they are calling from a Dupaco number before asking for account information, which could include debit card PIN numbers, Dupaco passwords and online banking passwords. No person legitimately working for Dupaco would ask for a full card number, a PIN number, an online password or two-step verification code over the phone. Any caller claiming to be from Dupaco asking for that information is likely a scammer.
