Scam
Email. A fake email, claiming to originate from the
WVU Credit Union, is circulating. The subject line of the email
reads CONGRATULATIONS!!! and promises $100 if the recipient
completes a customer satisfaction survey. The email directs the
reader to a bogus website in an apparent attempt to gather
personal financial information for identity theft. If you
receive this email, do not follow the instructions. Delete the
email. The WVU Credit Union does not contact members through
email. For more information, contact WVU's OIT Help Desk,
293-4444 or Jessie Wass, ext. 334. (Submitted 03.17.08)
