CHECK SCAM IDENTIFIEDIf you have received a check and accompanying letter from Kansas Corporate Credit Union it is a fraudulent attempt to obtain monies. We received notice today from a consumer that they had received a check and letter from Kansas Corporate Credit Union. The letter contains an ID Code, our logo and a phone number and fax number that are not legitimate. Upon calling the number, it was answered Kansas Corporate Credit Union and the representative asked for the ID Code from the letter.
The letter instructs the recipient that they have won a customer service award. They are instructed to cash the check at their bank, keep $100 and Western Union the remaining amount to a resident of Ontario, Canada. The letter also instructs the recipient to complete a survey about the service they received in processing this transaction and fax it back to the fax number provided.
AGAIN -This is a fraudulent attempt to obtain monies. Check amounts, instructions, and details may vary per letter but the checks are fraudulent. Do not proceed with the transactions. We will provide more information as it becomes available. Please contact Kip Poe, VP, Information & Technology, at 800.721.2677 | Ext. 104, for more information.
