PHISHING EMAIL WARNING

The Electronic Payments Association has received reports that individuals and/or companies have received a fraudulent e-mail that has the appearance of having been sent from NACHA (National Automated Clearing House Association). According to NACHA, the subject line of the e-mail states: “Unauthorized ACH Transaction.” The e-mail includes a link that redirects the individual to a fake Web page and contains a link which is almost certainly an executable virus with malware. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. NACHA does not send communications to individuals or organizations about individual ACH transactions that they originate or receive.

WARNING!!

WARNING: Several members have reported received phone calls where the caller knows their name and the last four digits of their credit card. The caller goes on to offer free gas cards. These calls are not from MHV, and are most likely from a marketing company, looking to get your full credit card number to sign you up for a program with a monthly charge. Please beware and only provide your credit card number to vendors you are shopping with!
