Armored carriers being impersonated by criminals.

Date: January 17th, 2008 - Author: University Credit Union

The local armored carriers company issued an alert today about criminals impersonating armored carriers.  These criminals have successfully fooled employees of financial institutions further south into giving them money.  Coming into the branches fully dressed in an armored carrier uniform, the thieves have easily convinced financial institutions that they are covering for someone who is out sick.  The thieves are able to take the funds and leave before anyone is alerted.

UCU has procedures in place to verify all armored carriers' identies before transactions occur.
