Why Scam Survivor Day Matters

In today’s digital world, scams are more sophisticated—and more common—than ever. Whether it’s a phishing email, a fraudulent phone call, or an online impersonation, scammers target people of all ages and backgrounds. Scam Survivor Day brings awareness to the importance of speaking up and staying informed.


Tips to Protect Yourself

Here are a few keyways to stay scam-smart:

Be Skeptical of Urgency: Scammers create panic. If someone is rushing you to act, pause and verify.

Verify Links and Attachments: Don’t click links or download files from unknown or suspicious sources.

Use Strong, Unique Passwords: And enable two-factor authentication wherever possible.

Talk About It: If something seems off, tell someone. Talking it out can help you avoid costly mistakes.

If you or someone you know has been targeted by a scam, don’t stay silent. Our team at Atomic Credit Union is here to listen, assist with next steps, and help secure your accounts. We believe that education leads to empowerment, and empowered members are our best line of defense.
