Security Center

Online scams and fraud are becoming much more sophisticated and elaborate. Thieves use many different methods in their attempts to steal personal information. They break into mail boxes, deploy viruses, send fake e-mails, and even create fake Web sites. Do not fall victim to these scams. The best way to protect yourself against fraud is to educate yourself on these methods and guard your personal information. You should also maintain up-to-date anti-virus and spyware programs on your personal computer and be knowledgeable about phishing.

The Varex Federal Credit Union Security Center contains information to help members protect themselves against identity theft, mail and e-mail scams, computer viruses and other types of fraud. Take a moment to browse these pages, where you'll learn about the latest threats and how to combat them.

Please be aware that VFCU will not solicit information about your account over the phone. We will, however, ask for your account number and other identifying information on your account on incoming calls to the credit union to verify your identity and avoid scams or fraud on your account. On occasion, we will send an email to verify your mailing address when we have returned mailings for you and ask for a response email for those changes needed. Please feel free to call the credit union if you ever question the validity of any email or phone call you might receive.
