Don’t Let Fraud Take a Summer Vacation
May 2023
Summer is a season for sunshine, celebrations, and well-deserved time off. With many employees out of the office and calendars filled with holidays, it's also a prime time for scammers to strike.
Fraudsters often take advantage of reduced staffing and out-of-office messages to launch deceptive email scams that appear to come from executives or coworkers. These emails typically contain urgent requests, such as processing a payment or updating invoice information, and can trick even vigilant employees into unknowingly sending funds or sensitive data.
At WESTconsin Credit Union, protecting our members and local businesses from fraud is a top priority. To help safeguard your organization this summer, and year round, here are some best practices to reduce the risk of falling victim!
