Beware of Fraudulent Texts: If you receive a text message from the InRoads fraud verification department asking you to verify a recent purchase, it’s okay to answer yes or no. However, if the text is fraudulent, someone pretending to be from InRoads may then call you to attempt to get more information. If this happens, hang up immediately and call us directly at 503.397.2376. This will help protect your accounts and those of your fellow members. Remember that InRoads will NEVER initiate a call to you and then ask for your personal banking information.

Watch Out for InRoads Impersonators: There’s a new scam out there. This one could catch just about anyone with a smartphone off guard. Here’s how it works: using a smartphone spoofing app, criminals are calling people all over the U.S. pretending to be from a local credit union or bank. Once they get a person on the phone, they then play the part of a member service representative from the financial institution. They falsely tell the potential victim there has been suspicious activity on their credit or debit card. All they need is the last 8 digits on the card, along with the expiration date and 3-digit code, to fix the problem. Once that information is retrieved, the criminals start their shopping spree.

InRoads will never ask for your private financial information. We already have it. If a legitimate InRoads team member calls you, we won’t ask for your credit card or debit card numbers, passwords, Social Security number, PINs and more. If you’ve received a call like this or worry you may have fallen victim to a similar crime, call us at 503.397.2376.
