Fraud Alert FAQs
All members who provide or have provided a current cell phone number to SAFE Federal Credit Union and have SMS texting enabled are automatically enrolled in Fraud Alerts.
There are two ways to opt out:
- If you receive a text message notice alerting you of possible fraudulent activity, then you can text back STOP. You will no longer receive any further text messages regarding possible fraud activity.
- You can opt out of the service by calling 803-469-8600
This service is provided to you at no charge from SAFE Federal Credit Union. However, message and data rates may apply to alerts sent to your cell phone. Please check with your mobile carrier.
For your security, SAFE Federal Credit Union will never ask for personal or account information via email, text and/or phone call. A text from 91937* will ask you to confirm or deny recent charges on your debit card that could be fraudulent. We will only ask you to reply with Y, N, or STOP as a one-time response.
If you receive a suspicious text from SAFE Federal Credit Union requesting information from you other than Y, N, or STOP, the text is fraudulent. DO NOT RESPOND; contact (803) 469-8600 to report the incident.
