At Aspire Credit Union, we loan out local money to local people… so you know what that means? We don’t sell your loan to a third party. We keep and fund in-house. Recently, several members called informing us that they received either a letter or a postcard about their mortgage or mortgage information, some of which had been fully paid back. DO NOT call the number on the card. This is a tactic to get your information. Here is what you need to know:
These are scams.
Here are the examples so you can be aware:
Blue or Yellow Postcard
The permit was issued in Florida. We are obviously not serving that area. On the bottom, it reads “Not affiliated with, sponsored by, and loan information not provided by Prairie FCU.” A simple google search indicates that this phone number is associated with fraudulent activity on forums. They include verbiage that makes you feel like you need to call right away. The Mortgage ID number is completely made up. This string of numbers doesn’t match our system or member number at all.Snail Mail Letter
The bottom reads ” We are not affiliated with your current mortgage company.” They add words like ‘confidential’ and ‘private’ to try and gain your trust. The Contact our office number is a 1-800 is not ours Incorrect mortgage number Our letters would be mailed using our branded letterhead.When in doubt, please call us at the Credit Union and we can verify any action you need to take.
