Someone has asked me to take cash out of my account and send a wire through Western Union or MoneyGram. Is this fraud?
There is a very good chance this is a fraudulent request. If you are being asked to forward money on to an individual you have never met, stop and research the situation before continuing. Fraudsters try their best to intimidate and rush their victims into sending money without thinking. They often tell their victims to not say anything or to lie to the credit union. Take all information you have and speak with an RCU branch manager. You can also call 1 (800) 479-7928 and speak with an RCU member service representative.
