Scams

We are trying to educate our members so they don't get caught up in ever growing number of scams that are showing up. These scams can cost you thousands of dollars. We will update this page with all the different scams as we become aware of them. If you know of other scams, let us know so we can post them on this page.

	Lottery or On-line Gambling Winnings
	US Treasury Scam
	E-mail Scams
	Phone Scams

Here are some important tips to avoid being caught in these scams.

	DO NOT GIVE ANYONE YOUR ACCOUNT OR PIN NUMBERS. All of these email and phone scams are people trying to get your account number, social security number, PIN number, etc. Once they have that information, the can start using your account to do with as they please.
	USE COMMON SENSE. If it's too good to be true, then it probably is.
	ONLY USE SECURE WEBSITES WHEN MAKING ONLINE PURCHASES. There will be a little yellow pad-lock that is in the locked position in the lower right-hand corner for secure websites. The secure website address will start with https:// instead of http://
	CHECK ON YOUR ACCOUNT AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN.
