This fraudulent attempt to capture account information is done with an automated SMS/text message referring to themselves as CO-OP Mobile.
 
The text message requests members to enter their account information (including ATM PIN number). Members should avoid clicking links within the text messages and not respond to these messages that request account information.

CO-OP Mobile SMS/text Messages do NOT ask members for account information including ATM PIN numbers. Members that may have felt they have responded to this scam should contact the credit union to close and obtain a new card.
 
There are so many ways for perpetrators to attempt to get personal information, including the use of auto-dialers and text messages.

Important Reminder

To protect yourself and your account NEVER release your PIN number to anyone.
