Your local credit unions (Midland Empire Chapter of Credit Unions) are donating $3,000 to the Red Lodge Fire Rescue to assist their community and county
recover after the recent flood.
Many of our members live and/or work in Carbon, Stillwater, Yellowstone, Sweet Grass, Park, Gallatin, and Big Horn Counties. We are saddened to see the flood destruction and recognize cleanup efforts will involve an immense amount
of community support. We hope this donation can bring needed supplies to support their efforts.

Is it A Scam?
Here are some of the top items to be on the lookout for:
Is the sales person using high pressure sales tactics? Scams often say things like, "Time is running out!" - "This is a onetime offer!"
Are you being asked to pay upfront fees? Lottery and sweepstakes scams often employ this tactic. If you really won something the fees can be taken out of your winnings.
Are you being told that you won a contest that you didn't enter? Lottery and sweepstakes scams almost always start this way. You can't win a contest that you didn't enter.
Have you been scammed in the past? Often scam victims have their personal contact information sold to other con artists. You may get unsolicited calls from people promising to get your money back or provide other remedies or offers. These 'offers' can be scams too. Beware!
Did you receive unsolicited mail, emails, or phone calls for services that you were not seeking? Research the companies that you want to employ. Many scams begin with someone knocking on your door offering services, or sending out promotional materials. This often happens in the case of home repair scams.
Are you being contacted by the police over the phone? Verify that they are who they say they are. Some scams begin with a person pretending to be a police officer who tells you that they are concerned that you have been a victim of a crime. They then proceed to solicit your personal information. In truth, the police will contact you in person if they have questions for you or believe that you have been a victim of a crime.
