Wright-Patt Credit Union® (WPCU®), like many financial institutions, is seeing an increase in spoofing scams - fraudulent attempts aimed at gaining unauthorized access to member accounts and member business accounts.

Scammers are using fake phone calls, text messages, and emails that appear to come from Wright-Patt Credit Union. These spoofed communications may look and sound convincing — but they’re designed to trick you into sharing sensitive information.

Spoofing is when scammers disguise their communication to look like it’s coming from a trusted source — in this case, Wright-Patt Credit Union. These messages may seem urgent, credible, and convincing, but they are designed to steal your personal and financial information.
