North Battleford RCMP are warning the public of a phishing scam circulating on the Internet.
The scam involves false emails alleging to be from Innovation Credit Union, reporting to customers that there is an error on their account, and to avoid service suspension they are to click onto a link and provide personal information.
The RCMP says this is not a valid request. Innovation Credit Union is not forwarding emails to customers requesting this type of information. Also, these sorts of emails are also not the practice of any bank or credit union when dealing with account issues.
A number of people have reported receiving the email, say the RCMP, but it does not appear anyone has disclosed any sensitive or personal information.If you have, contact your banking institution immediately.
If you have not received or replied to the email, your information is not in any danger and will not have been compromised.?
Those with any information about this or any other crime should contactthe Battlefords Detachment of the RCMP at 306-446-1720 or call Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), through SaskTel at *8477 or submit a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
