Out of an abundance of caution amid the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the Board of Directors of the Stamford Healthcare Credit Union announces the postponement of the Annual Meeting, originally scheduled for April 16th, 2020.
Fraud and Scam Alert
Please be aware that with the COVID-19 making headlines daily, hackers and scammers are now using this potential public health crisis as an opportunity to take advantage of unsuspecting businesses and consumers.
Fraudulent emails have surfaced claiming to be from the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the World Health Organization (WHO) directing unsuspecting recipients to harmful websites that load malware or other harmful applications, under the ruse of offering important pandemic information. In response to these and other campaigns, the WHO and CDC have issued alert warnings to consumers to be on the lookout for individuals posing as the organizations.
The best practice in avoiding scams and hackers is to not click on any links in emails you were not expecting or you did not request, just delete the emails. As a reminder, if you are a Stamford Healthcare Credit Union Debit/ATM Card holder and suspect fraudulent activity on your account you should contact us immediately.
