Thank you to Angela Adam at the IMKCFCU for her efficient, awesome service! In the last two days, we bought a truck and sold our car and the total time it took us at the credit union for both transactions was about 15 minutes. She goes above and beyond her duties and is so great at what she does. Thank you, Angela and IMKCFCU, for making banking easy and convenient! -Tara Povich

How do I spot an imposter scam?
Most imposter scams look like this:
Someone asks you to put money on a gift card or to wire money.
A scammer might use different ways to convince you to send money.
The scammer might say:
*you have a problem with your computer and you have to pay to fix it
*you owe taxes to the IRS
*you won a prize, or inherited money, but you have to pay fees first
*you won the lottery, but you have to pay some taxes first
*a friend or family member is in trouble and needs you to send money to help
*you got a check/deposit for too much money and need to send back the extra
These are all tricks. When you hear stories like these, you have spotted an imposter scam.
How do I avoid an imposter scam?
Scammers are good at being friendly. They also are good at fooling people.
Here is how you can stop a scammer:
Never send money to someone you do not know.
Never send money because someone contacted you:
*even if you feel like you know the person
*even if the person says he is your friend or related to you
What if I already sent money to someone I don’t know?
If you sent money to someone who contacted you, report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Call the FTC at 1-877-382-4357

The FTC uses complaints to build cases against scammers. Any information you can give helps investigators.
