We have been made aware of a scam circulating on social media that claims ACU is giving away a MacBook Air “exclusively to our loyal customers.” This is a scam, not a legitimate ACU advertisement. DO NOT click “Claim Now.”
You will never see an ad like this from ACU. We would also never ask you to confirm your personal information, account information or passwords via email or text. We have notified authorities and taken action to have these ads removed.
How to Protect Yourself:
- Do not click on any suspicious links or provide personal or banking information in response to advertisements or messages not verified as official communications from ACU.
- Only rely on information from our official website or verified social media channels.
- If you believe you have interacted with the fake advertisement or provided sensitive information, please contact us immediately.
Please check out our fraud prevention webpage, which provides a thorough overview of the types of scams on the Internet, and tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of scams.
Remember:
- If something looks too good to be true, it is. When you encounter a post like this, examine it for wording and tell-tale signs, like ACU calling members “loyal customers.”
- Never share your personal information online
- Ignore suspicious posts and unsolicited emails.
