Trending Scams Alert!
Stay informed and protect yourself from the latest scams targeting OneAZ members. Here are the scams we're currently seeing:
Watch Out for These Scams
Flood Assistance Donations
Fraud Watch Alert: Donating After the Texas Floods – Stay Scam-Safe
In the wake of the devastating Texas floods, scammers are taking advantage of generous donors. If you're looking to help, make sure your donation goes to those in need—not to a fraudster.
✅ Give only to trusted charities with a proven disaster relief record.
🔍 Research before you give—especially if the request came through social media.
💳 Avoid anyone asking for payment by gift card, wire transfer, or crypto. Use a credit card for added protection.
⚠️ Be cautious with crowdfunding. Money often goes to the organizer, not directly to victims, and isn’t tax-deductible.
📲 Double-check text-to-donate numbers by confirming with the official organization.
Stay safe and give wisely.
Cloud Storage
Scam Alert: Fake Cloud Storage Messages
Be cautious of texts or emails from Apple, Microsoft, or Google saying you're out of cloud storage. These may look real but are often phishing scams.
Protect yourself:
- Don’t click links in the message, even if it looks legitimate.
- Not your service? It’s a scam — delete it.
- Verify directly: If you do use the company, visit their official site or app to check your storage status.
Scammers want your info or to infect your device. Stay smart — go straight to the source. Stay safe!
Friend asking for money?
“Friend” Requests That Lead to Requests for Money Are Scams
Beware of scammers posing as online friends or love interests. If someone you’ve never met asks for money — it’s a scam. Don’t send funds through wire transfers, gift cards, apps, or crypto. Stay safe: verify, talk to loved ones, and report fraud at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
Common Scams
Phone Scams
Beware of phone increasing scams where fraudsters impersonate the FBI, claiming your Social Security number has been compromised. They may try to pressure you into giving personal information. Never provide sensitive details over the phone. Legitimate government agencies won’t make such requests. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately.
Back to School!
If you’re moving too quickly, it’s easy to miss details when shopping for school supplies. From the return and refund policies to delivery times and fees, there can be unwelcome surprises. Study this advice before you hit the order button.
Utility Payment Scam
Only scammers demand you pay a certain way - a way that makes it hard for you to get your money back. Be on the lookout for those who create a sense of urgency and suggest you wire money, put money on a gift card, use payment apps, pay with a scannable barcode or QR code, or pay using cryptocurrency. Your utility company won’t demand you pay that way.
WhatsApp Scam
Scammers are targeting WhatsApp users with fake remote job offers. You might receive a message promising a job that pays hundreds of dollars a day. However, there’s a catch—they’ll ask for your Social Security number. Do not share it.
If you encounter a scam text, forward it to SPAM (7726) or use your phone’s “report junk” feature to delete and report it. Most cellular providers do not charge for texts sent to 7726.
Text Message Scam
Members have reported receiving text messages acting in the name of OneAZ. The message asks to verify a transaction followed by a suspicious hyperlink such as vismon.es and creadiva.es. Do not click on these fraudulent links.
Remote Access
Remain alert! Fraudsters are posing as employees of companies such as Geek Squad, Amazon, and Google requesting to gain remote computer access. Do not allow others to remote access into your computer. Remember to protect your online banking credentials and passwords.
Older Americans Month
It's Older Americans Month! Fraud is on the rise for this population. Share what you know about scams and help others spot them.
Imposter Scams
Be on the lookout for imposter scams. Imposter scams happen when a scammer impersonates someone else, like a government or bank employee, to steal a victim’s money or personal information. Imposter fraud has been the most reported scam for years, according to the FTC.
Job Posting Scam
Looking for a job? Avoid scammers in the job postings. Scammers impersonate well-known companies and recruit through displaying fake jobs on LinkedIn and other platforms. Spot, avoid, and report scams with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Money Matters program. Check it out for tips on avoiding job scams.
OneAZ Imposter Scam
Fraudsters are targeting our members by reaching out through text and phone call. These imposters are acting as OneAZ and asking for information like usernames and passwords AND/OR stating funds need to be moved using services such as CashApp and Zelle.
OneAZ Phishing Scam
Fraudsters are targeting our members by reaching out through text followed by phone. These imposters are acting as OneAZ and asking for information by saying ‘there has been a suspicious login on (date) in (Name a city, State). Please confirm yes or no’. Please note fraudsters may spoof the OneAZ phone number. Do not share your username or one-time passcodes. OneAZ associates will never ask you for this information.
OneAZ Check Payment Scam
Lookout for checks coming through the mail using the likeness of OneAZ. This includes use of the OneAZ logo and/or signatures from OneAZ associates. The checks are going through the mail alongside gift card scam letters from Walgreens, CVS, and BeMyVision.
Jury Duty Scam
Increased reports in Jury Duty related scams, especially in the Northern region. Fraudsters are calling members pretending to work for the court system or Law Enforcement and through the use of phony warrants, encourage large cash withdrawals to settle said warrants. Victims are advised not to discuss the reason for the withdrawal with others creating a fearful state.
ATM Skimming
Fraudsters are placing skimming devices on ATMs. Inspect ATMs before use, looking for items that are loose or damaged. Pinhole cameras may be placed on the machine at an angle that allows a PIN to be captured. Use ATMs in well-lit areas and if your card is not returned, report the incident immediately.
Bitcoin ATM (BTM) Scam
Fraudsters are using BTMs to steal money. Scams start with a call or text message about you being at risk - saying you’re linked to money laundering or a warrant. Victims are asked to deposit large sums of cash into a specific BTM which is routed to the fraudster. Real businesses and government agencies will never ask you to deposit money into a BTM.
Text Messages Scam
Members are receiving fraudulent text messages from oneaz-credit.union-msg-alert-ikkf@oneazcu.com. OneAZ will never send you a test message from this address. We kindly ask that you do not engage with this message. For additional protection, please block this address from contacting you in the future.
Incident
Members are being asked to call 855.574.2597. Upon calling, users are connected to a fake 'Security Department' that is not related to OneAZ Credit Union. OneAZ kindly asks you to not engage with this number. For additional protection, please block this number in your phone.
Unexpected Package at Your Door?
Beware of unexpected packages! If you receive a gift with no sender info and a QR code to scan, it could be a phishing attempt to steal your personal data. Do not scan the QR code! Scanning the code may lead to malicious websites or malware. If you’ve scanned a suspicious QR code, change your passwords immediately and enable two-factor authentication. Stay vigilant—protect your personal details to avoid falling victim to scams!
