Scam Warning Issued


Officials with TruStar Federal Credit Union are issuing warnings about a nationwide scam that's reached some residents in the International Falls area last night.

A computer-voiced telephone message, targeting residents with a 2-4-0 prefix and a 2-1-8 area code, asked them to enter personal identification to activate or confirm their debit or ATM cards.

The credit union believe the callers are randomly dialing numbers in an attempt to reach its customers.

Neither the credit union nor its members have been financially impacted by the calls.

International Falls Police, along with officials from TruStar, CUNA Mutual and Shazam, are investigating.
