The Kaua‘i Police Department is warning residents about telephone calls being made with a recorded message by a person claiming to be a representative of Kaua‘i Community Federal Credit Union (KCFCU). The message claims that KCFCU has detected fraudulent activity at their bank and that the account of the person receiving the call has been frozen to protect it from fraud. The message asks the potential victim to call a toll-free number in order to reactivate their bank account. Kaua‘i police also report that the fraudulent caller uses an electronic technique to indicate on a caller ID screen that the phone call is being made from KCFCU’s phone instead of from the caller’s actual phone. “Financial institutions are not known to solicit sensitive information from their members via telephone or through email,” said Assistant Chief Roy Asher. Anyone who responded to fraudulent calls is encouraged to contact the Kaua‘i Police Department at 241-1711. Reports may also be made to Hawaiian Telcom’s security department at 643-7111. KCFCU members who are concerned about their accounts may contact their Lîhu‘e office at 245-6791.

The American Red Cross, Hawaii State Chapter, is advising the public to be wary of individuals and groups who are purporting to solicit on behalf of the Red Cross during the holidays. At this time, the only fundraising being conducted by the Hawaii Red Cross is through its mailings and its website. Please report any suspicious fundraising to the Red Cross at 739-8108 or to the police. The Red Cross is a non-profit humanitarian organization which provides assistance for immediate emergency needs of those affected by disasters. All Red Cross disaster assistance is free. The Red Cross is not a government agency but depends on public contributions to help others. For more information, visit HawaiiRedCross.org.
