Please beware of scammers claiming to be from Downeast Credit Union.
There have been instances of Members receiving phone calls from someone claiming to be a DECU Team Member or our Fraud Department.
Theses scammers claim that there is fraud on a Member’s account and proceed to ask for card numbers, online banking credentials, and/or one-time passcodes. With this information, it could allow the scammer to transfer money out of the Member’s account.
