| Summer is a season for sunshine, travel, and sharing time with loved ones, but it is also a time when scammers turn up the heat. At EdFed, we want to help keep you and your money safe. Here are some key tips to help you enjoy your summer without a scam in sight: Be Cautious of Money Transfers Only send money to people you know and trust. Whether it is a digital payment, wire transfer, or person-to-person app, once the money is gone, it is gone. If someone you do not know requests money—or sends you money unexpectedly—pause and verify. Watch for Vacation Scams Planning a getaway? Double-check travel deals, home rentals, and ticket vendors. Fraudsters often pose as legitimate businesses offering steep discounts to trick travelers into handing over payments or personal information. Shop Smart Online Summer sales are tempting, but fake websites with phony offers are everywhere. Stick to well-known retailers, look for secure checkout pages (https), and avoid offers that seem too good to be true. Monitor Your Accounts Keep a close eye on your accounts through our online and mobile banking platform, EdFed 24/SEVEN. If you spot suspicious activity, call our Member Contact Center at 305-270-5250. Stay alert and financially safe this summer. |
