 Plastic Card Fraud Minimize

Plastic card fraud has continued to grow. Although plastic cards are extremely well accepted, convenient, and safe, there are instances of counterfeiting and other fraudulent use around the world.

Dallas Telco maintains its commitment to provide secure financial services to our members, so we constantly monitor the areas where fraud is occurring so that we can take steps to protect our members.

There are currently numerous fraudulent transactions orginating from countries in Eastern Europe. Although Dallas Telco members have generally not been affected by these instances of fraud, we want to protect our members from transactions that originate in geographic areas where there appears to be a high concentration of fraudulent activity. Therefore, as of May 14, 2008, we have blocked debit card transactions that originate from most Eastern European countries.

If you plan to travel to Eastern Europe, please contact us at 214-742-6551 to authorize us to permit VISA® debit card transactions that originate from one or more of these countries on your Dallas Telco account. In fact, it's always a good idea to notify us when you travel so that we can monitor any unusual activity on your account.
