Notice of Election

An election to fill three vacancies on the USX FCU® Board of Directors will be held at the Annual Meeting. The location of the meeting will be announced in the very near future. No nominations will be accepted from the floor.

A Nominating Committee appointed by the Chairman will nominate candidates for election to the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee will select one nominee for each vacant seat on the Board.

Interested members can become a candidate for Board Membership by requesting a “Petition Packet” from the Nominating Committee. The “Petition Packet” will require the member to obtain the name, address, account number and signature from 1% of the membership as of the previous year-end. The petitioner must submit the complete packet to the Nominating Committee by December 4, 2020. The Nominating Committee will then validate the candidate and verify the information submitted in the “Petition Packet”.

Once the Nominating Committee has approved the candidates, the names of all qualified candidates running for election to the Board will appear on the ballot at the Annual Meeting. A short biography of each candidate will appear in the next quarter’s newsletter. The members present at the Annual Meeting will vote to determine who will serve on the Board of Directors.

Any member of the credit union at least 18 years of age may qualify to serve on the Board of Directors. If you have an interest in serving, you may request a “Petition Packet” by writing to:

Chairperson, Nominating Committee
USX Federal Credit Union
PO Box 1728
Cranberry Twp., PA 16006

Request for “Petition Packet” must be received no later than November 10, 2020.

Simple, yet Effective “Vishing” Scams

Voice phishing, or “Vishing”, is a phishing attack conducted by phone. This is a classic tactic that bad guys typically use to collect your credit card or financial data, along with other personal information. Here’s an example: You receive a call from someone claiming to be a customer service representative for a specific retailer. They say your order could not be processed because your credit card was declined. But not to worry! They are happy to help correct the issue. The caller claims that they need your credit card number, expiration date, and code on the back.

While this scheme is simple, it is also surprisingly effective. The bad guys catch victims off-guard with a pressing issue, like a declined payment. The victim is then relieved when the scammers offer an easy and immediate solution. If you don’t take the time to stop and think about the situation, you could give away your personal data before you realize what is really happening.

Remember to stop, think, and follow these tips:

  • Don’t trust the caller ID. Phone numbers can be spoofed to look like a familiar or safe caller
  • Never provide personal information over the phone, unless you are the one who initiated the call.
  • If you receive a suspicious phone call, hang up, and use the company’s official phone number to call them directly

Stop, Look, and Think. Don’t be fooled.
