Phishing and smishing scams are becoming increasingly convincing and anyone can be a target. A few things to watch for: emails or texts claiming to be from your bank, the IRS, or a delivery service asking you to verify your information, messages with suspicious links that direct you to a fake login page designed to capture your credentials, and urgent alerts pressuring you to act immediately before you have time to think. Remember, Purdue Federal will never ask for your account information, password, or PIN through email or text. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝘁, 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸. Call us directly to verify. Stay informed and cautious to keep your accounts secure. If something seems suspicious, trust your instincts and verify before taking any action. If you suspect you've been a victim of fraud, give us a call at 800.627.3328 or email fraud@purduefed.com to report it to our fraud team.
