Fraud Alerts

Update (12/2022): Members have received fraudulent text messages asking them to visit a suspicious link to confirm or deny a purchase. Please do not click on the link.

Update (11/2022): Members have reported receiving texts for unknown purchases, and when responding with “No” are immediately receiving a call from someone impersonating the AMOCO fraud team asking for their login credentials and/or online account access. These texts and calls are not from AMOCO. If you are contacted regarding possible fraud, please contact us directly at 409-948-8541 or message us via the website. Thank you for your membership.

AMOCO will never directly contact you to ask for personal information, whether it is by phone, social media, or email. Our top priority has and always will be to keep your financial and personal information secure and confidential. 
 
To help protect members’ personal information, AMOCO uses text alerts to notify and verify members’ debit card transactions. The text message only requests a YES or NO reply from the member. If you receive this message, please respond with a YES or NO reply to confirm whether or not you made the purchase. Please note that these texts do not ask for any personal information (PIN, Online Banking Password, SSN, etc.).
 
If you received a suspicious fraud message (text, email, phone call, or mail) claiming to be from AMOCO, please do not respond and contact us directly and report the suspicious message you received. By reporting the suspicious messages, we will be able to investigate and inform the rest of our membership.
