If you get a call from 919‑856‑5005 claiming to be SECU fraud prevention, take a pause. Never hand over your PIN, password, or card number over the phone, especially if they ask you to call back on a different number. Hang up, then call the official SECU toll‑free line (the one on your card or the website) to verify the issue. Scammers love spoofing SECU’s name, so treat any urgent‑tone request with skepticism. Keep an eye on your account activity, set up alerts, and report suspicious calls to your credit union’s fraud department. A quick call to the real SECU can save you a lot of hassle.
