SECURITY ALERT -- Deceptive E-mail Lures Meriwest Members with Promise of Money

09/04/07

Attention Meriwest Members: Be on the lookout for an e-mail that claims to deposit $99 into your account as incentive to participate in a survey. In part, the e-mail states:

Dear Customer,
You've been selected to take part in our quick and easy survey. The survey has only 12 questions. In return, we will credit $99.00 to your account - to show our appreciation of your time!

Please spare two minutes of your time and take part in our online survey so we can improve our services. Don't miss this chance!

Sincerely,
Member Services

It will then ask you to click on a link to begin the survey. DO NOT click on the link.

While this email mimics Meriwest?s Web site, this is a fraudulent e-mail that did not originate from Meriwest Credit Union.

If you received this e-mail and inadvertently clicked on the link - or have any questions about this fraudulent e-mail - please call us at 877-MERIWEST (877-637-4937).

If you are a member of the Press and would like additional information or to request an interview, please contact our Corporate Communications Department at 408-365-6328 or corp_communications@meriwest.com.

For all non-media inquiries, please e-mail contact_center@meriwest.com or call: 877-MERIWEST (877-637-4937)
