Phishing Scam

Beware Of Current Phishing Scam That Appears To Be From HFCU.

There is an e-mail scam currently circulating that states your HFCU online access has expired and that you must click on a link to renew access to HFCU’s online services. Do not click on the link or provide any information. Your online access to HFCU’s eTeller (Internet banking) and eCheck (bill pay) does not expire and we would never ask you to provide personal information to us electronically. Although the link takes you to a web site that looks just like ours, it is not our web site.

If you ever receive an e-mail that asks for personal information, never click the links or provide the information requested. Instead, delete the e-mail and call us at 281.243.0500 or toll-free 866.OUR.HFCU.

Below is a copy of the Phishing scam e-mail:
