Spoofing Calls to our Members as Fraud Prevention Department of iThink Credit Union
Spoofing Calls to our Members as Fraud Prevention Department of iThink Credit Union
Looking for help from any FI that is seeing this fraud trend we have been seeing for about 2 months.
What the fraudsters are doing is calling and sending fake Falcon Text messages to our Members. They are spoofing the numbers to look like it is coming from the CU. They are asking the Members if they have made large charges. Once the Member text back no, the response is someone will contact you in a few minutes.
They will then call the Member stating that they are going to send a new card, but they need to verify information on the account. They ask to verify the last valid transactions that was made with the card along with last 8 digit of the card #, exp date, Cvv and pin. At times they will ask for the email address.
They will keep the member on the phone at the same time they are uploading the card to Mobile Wallet and within a few minutes making purchase at Walgreens in Pembroke Pines and Miramar.
I want to put a fraud rule in to stop this, but it will affect good valid transactions. Any input that anyone can share. I do have the phone number that the card is loaded to make these fraud charges.
If you have similar cases, please contact Sandy Calia at iThink Financial at 561-226-5414 or scalia@Ithinkfl.org

JPD Bulletin - CCW and Loitering-Prowling - 22000622
Report Number: 22000622
Date: February 13, 2022
Location: Bank of America (5470 S Central Blvd)
Point of Contact: Det. Zaragoza, Phone: (561) 741-2369, Email: NestorZ@jupiter.fl.us
SUMMARY: On 2/13/22 at 2015 hours, officers responded to Bank of America regarding a suspicious incident at the ATM. The bank’s ATM tech stated that he saw the pictured subjects at the drive-thru ATM, and that there have been multiple fraudulent/scamming/tampering incidents along the east coast of FL, during which subjects will jam the ATM causing it to malfunction and make multiple $301 withdrawals.
Upon arrival, the subjects were located in a 2017 grey Honda CRV (FL IJPB15) parked in the parking lot. A search of the vehicle yielded three firearms, two of which were loaded and within reach of the subjects. In addition, approximately $15,000 in US currency, multiple debit/credit cards, and numerous Bank of America receipts for withdraws of $301 from different locations (including West Palm Beach, Wellington, and Boynton Beach) were discovered.
All of the subjects were ultimately placed under arrest and transported to the PBCJ without incident. If you have any additional information about these subject, or similar incidents, please contact Det. Zaragoza.
