⚠️ Fraud Alerts – Stay Vigilant ⚠️

1️⃣ SMS Login Scam
Fraudsters are sending text messages pretending to be from the Credit Union, claiming three failed login attempts on a member’s account and urging a password reset. The messages may include a mobile number for “support.” These are NOT from Tower CU. Legitimate messages will always come from the sender TowerCU.

2️⃣ Investment Scam
We’ve been made aware of messages offering a fake investment opportunity, falsely linking the scheme to the Credit Union and a domestic bank. Do not engage – these are not from the Credit Union.

Protect Yourself:
• Do not reply, click links, or call numbers in suspicious messages
• Verify any unexpected alert by contacting us directly on 01 4570884
• Always check that messages come from our official sender: TowerCU
