There is a new scam circulating that we wanted you to be aware of. The email claims to be us and even appears to be from a tvfcu.com email. This email requests that the user clicks on a link to validate information. What it actually does is redirects you to a page that runs server side scripts. In the event that you get one of these email please delete it immediately.

We are working diligently to make sure this scam gets shut down but wanted to remind you that this is not from TVFCU and that we will never contact you via email for personal or financial information. Below are examples of the types of emails being received for your convenience.
