A. and indicates that your attention is required regarding your LendingClub Bank N. A. account.

Please do not respond to this email or enter any personal information in response.

  • Asking for personal information should raise a flag since LendingClub Bank N. A. emails will never ask you to reply in an email with any personal information, such as your Social Security number, ATM or Debit Card PIN.

  • Urgent appeals claim that your account may be closed if you fail to confirm, verify or authenticate your personal information. LendingClub Bank N. A. will not ask you to verify information in this way.

  • Messages about system and security updates claim that the bank needs to confirm important information due to upgrades and state that you must update your financial information online. LendingClub Bank N. A. will not ask you to verify information in this way.

SMShing

SMShing is phishing that happens via SMS text message. A criminal sends a text messages tricking you into providing financial or personal information or clicking on links that will sneak viruses onto your mobile device. To guard against these scams:

  • Don’t respond to a text message that requests personal or financial information. LendingClub Bank N. A. will never ask you to respond in this way.

  • Verify the phone numbers that appear in a text message. Store LendingClub Bank N. A. phone numbers in your mobile contacts for a quick cross-check. Or, you can go to the Contact Us  page.

Vishing

Vishing uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to call, leaving an automated recording. It alerts the consumer that their account has experienced unusual activity. The message instructs the consumer to call the same phone number shown in the spoofed caller ID with the same name as the financial company they are pretending to represent. And sometimes, criminals who try to get consumers to turn over personal data send emails and text messages containing fraudulent phone numbers. Rather than provide any information, you should contact LendingClub Bank N. A. at the customer service number you normally use to verify the validity of the message.

Malware

Malware, short for “malicious software,” includes viruses, spyware and trojans that are designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system. Malware is often used to steal personal information and commit fraud. There are several easy ways to minimize the risk of malware:

  • Downloads from file sharing and social networking sites can be distributions points for malware

  • Attachments and free software from unknown sources shouldn’t be opened or installed

  • Pop-up advertisements asking for personal or financial information are likely fraudulent, so it’s better to close them

  • Updated security and system software can protect your computer from malware threats

Money Mules

Money mules are unsuspecting victims who become middlemen for criminals trying to launder stolen funds. Victims are lured by the promise of a new career opportunity making large sums of money for minimal work. Criminals recruit money mules, send them stolen money and then ask the money mules to wire or transfer the money unwittingly to the criminals. Using the money mule masks the criminal’s identity.

The money mule may keep a commission for performing the transfer or wire. The victims of these scams may not only have their bank accounts closed and financial reputation ruined, but are often left financially responsible for returning the stolen funds.

Common signs of a money mule scam:

  • Overseas companies requesting money transfer agents in the US

  • Opening new bank accounts to receive money from someone you don’t know

  • Accepting large sums of money into your personal bank account for a new job

  • Transferring or wiring funds out of your personal bank account to people you do not know
