The holiday season often sees a rise in fraud attempts. We are alerting our members to a sophisticated scam currently being used:

Fraudsters are reaching out posing as our Fraud Prevention or Security team to "verify" suspicious transactions on your account.

The criminals will contact you (via phone, text, or email) and claim they need your full account number, password, one-time codes, or other sensitive details to confirm your identity or reverse a fraudulent charge.

NEVER provide your account information, PIN, passwords, or one-time passcodes to anyone who contacts you unprompted.

Mid-Atlantic FCU WILL NEVER call, text, or email you asking for:

  • Your full Social Security Number.
  • Your Online Banking Password.
  • Your Debit/Credit Card PIN.
  • The three-digit code on the back of your card (CVV).
  • A one-time verification code (unless you initiated the call).

If you receive a suspicious call, hang up immediately and contact us immediately at 301-944-1800. via email at [email protected], or send us a secure message through Online Services.

ReminderMAFCU will NEVER ask for your Online Services login information or ask you to verify your Online Services access via an email link.
