Received an email from my credit union with the logo and everything but no context. Just asked me to the call the number. I went to my app and saw the actual number is different so searched the web and found this site.
called saying we had a late bill they needed 189.00 immediately they asked for ss# and other personal information. We refused to give them any information they were very persistent. We got off phone called our Credit Union they said was not them nothing wrong with our acc. Do not give them any information. THIS WAS A SCAMMER!!! call from 1-877-500-7697
Caller said they were from a Credit Union. They asked for me to enter zip code.
When I called back it was a computerized system saying I owe a balance on my account. I selected to speak with someone, and a girl answered, and she could not tell me anything because my phone number wasn't coming up in here system. Very weird.
PHISHING SCAM. Received at least one voicemail message (live person, not a robocall) then they got us when my wife picked up the line. They harassed her about a bill, and were quite insistent and threatening. In reality the bill was for $24 (they said it was for more) and was only a few days late, and we had just mailed a check that morning. A few days later we got a letter from them. It had the credit union logo and return address, but this phone number, and at the bottom a note that it was from a debt collector. My wife called the credit union (direct line) to complain. They said it was a phishing scam and not to give them any info. We are reporting it to authorities.
