Comments:
  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Marine Credit Union by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • Marine Credit Union never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual Marine Credit Union URL.

"We suspect that your Internet Banking account may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party."

Dear Marine Credit Union Customer,

We suspect that your Internet Banking account may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party. Protecting the security of your account is our primary concern. Therefore, as a preventative measure, we have temporarily limited access to sensitive account features.

To restore your account access, you must update your account for Multi-Factor Authentication.

This is intended to provide you with the best security possible when accessing your account online. Multi-Factor Authentication consists of validation and authentication of an individual using more than one method of verification.

Click here to update your account for Multi-Factor Authentication.

Note: If you already have completed the above security update please repeat the process.

Sincerely,

Account Supervisor, Linda L. Baughman
