SOFCU utilizes a fraud protection tool that identifies card activity that falls outside your normal spending patterns – and then “blocks” the card to prevent you from incurring losses associated with identity theft.
To avoid inconvenience while traveling, please contact us in advance to notify us of your plans. This prevents unnecessary restrictions being placed on your card(s) while traveling. We’ll need to know the dates and destinations that you’re traveling, as well as your contact information during that time.

“Never give out personal information to callers” Your Credit Union will not call you to ask for personal information. We do not have an automated system making calls to members. If you receive a call, either automated or in person, stating they are from the Credit Union or Visa, please hang up and call us. (541) 479-2601

The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is reporting recently simulated NCUA email boxes. The fraudulent emails solicit credit union member participation in an Online Survey or Member Survey, and promise compensation of $40 as an inducement to respond to the email.
The emails are fraudulent, and may be an attempt to obtain confidential member information. NCUA does not solicit such information from credit union members. This is a phishing activity with no NCUA activity or approval.

MISLEADING PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION SCAMS
Be careful of companies with official-sounding names offering to help you reduce your property taxes for a fee. There is no need to pay for such services. Misleading mailers can look like official government agency documents. The mailers seek to trick you into sending them money to lower your property taxes. They also use addresses like "RegionalProcessingCenter" to make you think the mail is coming from a government agency. A recent mailing reported to the Oregon Department of Justice includes the misleadingly official-sounding title: "2010 Property Tax Reduction Form."
Sometimes, mailers threaten to impose a late fee if you don't send them money by a certain date.
Don't be fooled. Government agencies don't charge for tax reassessment — it's free. If your property has declined in value and you think your property tax is incorrect, you can request a review of your property from your local tax assessor.
For more information, contact your county tax assessor's office.
What you can do to avoid becoming a victim:

DON'T PAY MONEY FOR SOMETHING YOU DID NOT ASK FOR.
CONTACT YOUR COUNTYASSESSOR'S OFFICE DIRECTLY, DON'T PAY FOR A MIDDLEMAN.
