Don’t be a victim of check fraud

We discovered that there are fraudulent cashier’s checks circulating that appear to be drawn off of TruWest® Credit Union. The checks are issued by a company claiming to offer “Secret Shopper” related positions; however, this scam can take different forms. If someone you do not know offers to pay you money by cashier’s check but wants you to send money back or to other parties, it may be a scam.

More info on fake check scams can be found at here and here.

If you believe you have been the victim of or are currently being solicited by a fraudster, contact your local police department immediately. If you have recently deposited a check or other negotiable item you think may have been fraudulent, please contact the financial institution to which you made the deposit.
