Internet Safety Tips for Our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway

As we kick off our annual 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway, we’re excited to connect with our community and spread holiday cheer! However, we also want to take this opportunity to remind our members about the importance of internet safety, especially during this festive season.

Last year, some of our valued members experienced scams where individuals impersonated our credit union and attempted to solicit sensitive information, like credit card numbers. We want to ensure that everyone can participate in our giveaway with peace of mind. Here are some essential tips to keep your information safe:

1. Verify Official Communications

When participating in our giveaway, always verify that the communication is coming directly from Lincoln County Credit Union. We will never ask for sensitive information, such as your credit card number or passwords, through social media or email. If you receive a suspicious message claiming to be from us, please report it immediately.

2. Know Our Giveaway Procedures

Our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway will be conducted entirely through our official Facebook page. To enter, simply comment on the daily posts with your answers. Winners will be notified privately by the credit union. Always double-check the sender’s information if you receive a message regarding a prize.

3. Avoid Sharing Personal Information

During the giveaway, we encourage you to share your thoughts and answers in the comments. However, never share personal information, such as your phone number, email, or credit card details, publicly or in response to any inquiries. Your safety is our top priority.

4. Keep Your Accounts Secure

Make sure your social media accounts are secure. Use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication whenever possible. This adds an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.

5. Report Suspicious Activity

If you encounter any suspicious activity or receive messages that seem fraudulent, please report them to us immediately. Your vigilance helps protect not only your information but also our community as a whole.

6. Stay Informed

Stay updated on the latest scams and security tips by visiting reputable websites that focus on internet safety. Knowledge is your best defense!
