This e-mail asks "Who is FDIC?" and "What can FDIC do for you?" It warns against identity theft and states that the "FDIC is presenting a new card insurance which can restore you up to $500 if you are a victim of Internet fraud." The e -mail directs recipients to click on a link to be redirected to "an online signup page for this program." This e-mail is a fraudulent attempt to obtain personal information from consumers. Consumers should NOT access the link provided within the body of the e -mail and, under any circumstances, not provide any personal information through this media. https://www.glacierhillscu.org/idtheftreports.html 845084F5-D0F3-497F-8AE5-66F91EF73B1F Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:39:26 -0500 Identity thieves are increasingly setting their sights on children. Child identity theft, the stealing of a minor’s personal information and the establishment of lines of credit in his/her name, is being reported at an “alarming rate,” according to one analysis, with many parents and children not realizing that the child’s identity has been stolen until he or she applies for credit much later in life. https://www.glacierhillscu.org/idtheftreports.html 5138E917-6555-40A2-8198-521BFF1EF1BB Fri, 16 Nov 2007 10:11:51 -0600 A member received a phone call regarding her Glacier Hills Credit Union checking account and problems with checks written.
