Protecting Personal Information Email Scam

Member Alert!
June 16th, 2010

Recently several CHOICE REWARDS cardholders were contacted in an e-mail scam. In the e-mail, cardholders were informed of a non-existent program called "Cash Points" and were told to update their credit card account information to win 1,000 points. These e-mails are fraudulent - please advise your members to delete this email and not click on the link in the message. The e-mail 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 encourage your members not to disclose any of their personal information over the phone or Internet.

Please see the attached PDF recently posted to the CUETS secure website for more information.
