Enhanced Falcon Security
Justice Federal Credit Union might be calling you. We are using state of-the-art technology to help prevent credit card fraud. Based on previous card usage, if your Justice credit card purchase looks suspicious, we'll try to contact you at home or at your office to verify if its rightful owner used the card - or if the account has fallen into the wrong hands.
If the account is being used fraudulently, we can minimize additional activity from occurring.
What to Expect
In order to verify your identity, a fraud investigator may ask you to verify the following information:
| • |
Social Security Number (Last 4 numbers only) |
| • |
Month and Day of Birth (Not the year) |
| • |
Zip Code |
| • |
Other cardholder name (if other cardholders are listed) |
| • |
Mother’s maiden name |
| • |
Last Payment amount |
| • |
A question requiring you to provide information on a previous transaction or action on your account. Examples would include providing the merchant name from a transaction, dollar amount of large transaction, or merchant name from a unique transaction. |
If you are not available to receive the fraud investigation call, you will receive instructions to call either 1-888-918-7313 or 727-299-2449 to verify the information.
So, if you receive a call asking about purchases made with your Justice Federal Credit Union Visa, please take a moment to talk to our fraud investigator to verify your credit card activity. We care about your account security.
