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

There is an e-mail being sent to HFCU members from "service@houstonfcu.org" that says it is a "Houston Federal Credit Union Bank Update". The e-mail asks you to click a link that takes you to a web site that looks like HFCU's. You are then asked to answer "security" questions. Do not click on the link or answer the questions. This is a Phishing scam that is trying to steal your personal information and it is not HFCU's web site.

If you have any questions please feel free to call HFCU at 1-866-OUR-HFCU or (281) 243-0500. You can also request information online or stop by and enjoy some free coffee while we talk.
