Email scam requesting credit card information

Member Alert!

Recently, several PenFinancial MasterCard cardholders were contacted in an e-mail scam. In the e-mail, cardholders were informed to update their credit card account information online by clicking the link provided in the email. These e-mails are fraudulent – please delete this email and not click on the link in the message. Even though the web link in the email looks legitimate, the link directs people to a fraudulent version of the cucardsonline.com site, where they're asked to enter information such as their social insurance number, mother's maiden name, credit card number and CVC number (the security code found on the back of a credit card). Please do not disclose any of your personal information over the phone or Internet. No financial institution will ever contact you or request personal information via email or the internet.
