Financial institutions are popular scam targets (yes, even Summit), but their attempts span all industries and affect entire communities. By getting the word out on scams to you – and by you sharing it with family and friends, too – we can all look out for each other. We've received reports of scammers making calls that look they're coming from Summit. Here's how these scams are playing out:

Scenario 1

  • You receive an unsolicited call that appears to be from Summit Credit Union. (Your caller ID may even say "Summit" or show Summit's phone number.)
  • If you hesitate to provide their requested personal info, the scammer tries to convince you they're legitimate because of the "real" phone number - saying "Look at the number, it says this call is from Summit!"
  • If you ask the scammer a question about the credit union or to provide more information, they hang up.

Scenario 2

  • The scammer claims they've noticed fraudulent charges on your account and asks for your username and password to "fix" the situation.
  • After accessing your account, they'll reset your username and password, prompting a one-time PIN (OTP) to be sent for you to verify the change. The scammer assures you providing this OTP is just part of the process.
  • The scammer then uses that OTP to validate a new device or to gain full access and control over your account (which may stop you from being able to log in to your account).
A text or email says your account’s been suspended due to suspicious activity or password change, with a link to “reactivate” your account. Don’t click the link! A text or email notifies you of a transfer, Zelle® person-to-person payment or other transaction, asking you to click a link to “cancel it” or send a reply. You may also get a follow-up call, asking for your username and password or telling you to read back a one-time passcode to your text or email. Hang up!

The Most Important Thing to Remember

Never give out personal or account info in reply to a random call, text or email.
  • We would never ask you to give us your username, password or PIN - so don't share them even if a request includes our Summit name or logo.
  • Don't click any links in a text, email or social media message asking for the above info.
  • Hang up on callers asking for the above info - again, even if they say they're from Summit.
  • If you're unsure about something you receive, call our direct line at Summit (don't go by the contact info you're given in the suspicious communication).
