With a new school year around the corner, be alert for rental scams. Rental scammers will post an ad to online sites for room or apartment rentals and solicit you for fees, up-front rent payments, and personal information. They will often demand cash immediately via e-transfer to ‘hold’ the rental or for ‘application fees’, but there is no property to rent. Once you pay, the scammer will disappear with your money.

Now’s your chance to help shape our credit union! Members are invited to vote in our Directors Election by August 27. See our website for candidate videos and statements.

Three directors have fulfilled their term limits and will be departing from the Board taking with them many years of experience and expertise in credit union governance. With that in mind, we’ve recommended five candidates who would offer the expertise in lending, capital markets/treasury and wealth management that our Board identified through a gap analysis.

Beware of Recovery Scams

Falling victim to a fraud can be devastating. When someone tells you that they can recover the funds, it can be tempting to take them up on the offer. Unfortunately, offers to get your money back or to help a sting operation are not real—these are recovery scams. Learn how to spot the red flags: https://www.cccu.ca/learning-centre/Beware-of-Recovery-Scams
