Be Sure to Use the Right Account Number When Setting Up Direct Deposit

It’s common for Delta Community members to link their Credit Union accounts, such as a Savings Account to a Checking Account, or to link their Credit Union accounts to other financial institutions or to the U.S. government, such as linking an account with the federal Internal Revenue Service for paying taxes or receiving tax refunds. If you are linking accounts, be certain you are always using your correct Delta Community Credit Union account information/number.

Working to Avoid New Job Scams

In response to the Great Resignation, there are millions of available jobs at companies needing to replace or increase full or part-time staff, with both employed and unemployed candidates eager to apply for a new, potentially more profitable position. Employers are posting open positions on online job boards, and recruiters are reaching out to potential candidates by phone and email. But not all of those jobs are real—some are fake and being promoted by scammers posing as job recruiters trying to steal money and hijack financial and other types of personal accounts.

Keep Your Computer’s Data Secure, Even When Getting Rid of the Computer

Many of us are pretty dependent on our personal computers (PC) to assist in managing our lives, and that means we tend to store a wide range of personal information—our data—on them. From family photos and videos, music collections, medical and legal documents, to our resumes and examples of our work, the digital record of our lives tends to accumulate on our computer's memory drives, and probably grows larger over time. This information is valuable to us, and, potentially, could be valuable to a hacker, especially any financial and legal documents or financial account information. Information that is valuable should be protected from loss or theft, and it is well worth investing time (and maybe money) to safeguard your private data.

A Crook Wants to Fix Your Computer—Don’t Fall for Tech Support Scams

Tech support scams are an ongoing attempt to take victims’ money by convincing them that there is a serious problem with their computer when there is no problem; the scammer then offers to fix the problem for immediate payment. The scammers try to convince their innocent targets to pay them to eliminate a virus, malware, or other issue supposedly harming the victim’s computer before it can cause further damage and put their email, social media, healthcare, financial or other accounts in jeopardy of being hijacked.
