Fraud update
October 25, 2011: Some of
our members have been receiving phone calls from a "national credit card
company" and stating their cards have either been stolen or blocked.
These calls are phishing attempts. If you receive one, please hang up.
If you are concerned about your cards, please call us.
July 14, 2011:
The state of California continues to be a
high-fraud state. We are seeing counterfeit card transactions on both
our Instant Cash and Check cards and our Visa Scorecard credit cards.
Due to the heightened risk of fraud in California, we have blocked all
swiped transactions. Phone/internet transactions will still be
authorized. It is extremely important to let us know if you will be
traveling to that area so we may allow your
card(s) to be used. At this time we have not received notification from
Visa as to how these card numbers were obtained. As always, please check
your accounts often and if you see a transaction that isn't yours,
please notify us immediately.
June 21, 2011: People are
receiving phone calls alerting them there is fraud on their card. The
phone number they are asked to call is 1-800-890-5097. This is a scam.
If you receive a phone call like this and are concerned about your
account, please call us at 701-241-4770 during business hours and we can
research your account to see if there are any fraudulent charges. If it
is after hours, you can call 1-800-991-4965 and they can look over your
charges as well.
May 3, 2011: Instant Cash and Check
cards are being used fraudulently in the state of California. At this
time, we are not aware of how the card information was obtained. As a
protection, we have blocked swiped transactions in California. All
electronic payments will continue to post. Please keep a very close
watch on your account. If you see a charge that is not yours, please
notify us immediately!
April 2011:
We are seeing a jump in fraudulent credit card transactions in the state
of Louisiana. To protect our cardholders, we have blocked retail
purchases in that state. What this means for you is that you cannot use
your FPSFCU credit card in Louisiana, but you can still make
internet/phone/mail purchases. If you will be traveling to Louisiana,
please let us now so we can make sure you will be able to use your card.
Thank you for your understanding. As always, please keep a close eye on
your accounts.
Fraud is not going away!

Attention debit card and credit cardholders:
We received the following notification from Visa-
Transaction Block of Transactions Originating in
Syria
On
August 18, 2011, the United
States government issued an executive order prohibiting the exportation,
re-exportation, sale, or supply, directly or indirectly, from the United
States, or by a United States person, wherever located, of any services
to Syria.
In response to these sanctions, Visa and MasterCard have
instituted a block of all transactions originating in Syria and all
accounts issued in Syria, effective immediately.
These blocks will be in effect until further notice.

Card Compromise Alert:
Visa and MasterCard have reported a card compromise involving both card
numbers
and PINs. At this time, we are not aware of any of our cardholders being
involved
in this compromise. However, the compromised cards are being used
fraudulently for
cash advances in the states of California, Ohio and New York. Visa has
encouraged us to
block all cash advances in these states and we have done so. If you will
be traveling to
these areas and intend on using your credit card to obtain cash,
please let us know!

DON'T BE A TARGET!
Protect Yourself from
Identity Theft
1. Keep your numbers to
yourself - Never give out personal information by phone, email
or text unless you initiated the contact and you are sure who you are
dealing with. Do not carry your Social Security card in your wallet or
purse. 2.
Stay safe online - Use a firewall, anti-spyware
software and anti-virus software. Be sure to keep these programs up to
date. When shopping online, make sure you are on a secure web site. Look
for a locked padlock in the lower right-hand corner, and "https" in the
web address. 3. Monitor your credit reports - By law, everyone is now entitled to a
free report from each of the three major credit bureaus (Experian,
Equifax and TransUnion). Simply order one report every four months and
watch for changes or suspicious account activity. To order your free
report, go to
www.annualcreditreport.com.
