Recently, scammers have been impersonating ACU personnel asking employees to purchase gift cards and send the information electronically back to the scammers. Often these messages have an element of urgency and a promise that the employees will be reimbursed. Please do not reply to messages like these and report these messages as phishing. As a reminder, ACU’s purchasing card policy explicitly prohibits the purchase of gift cards. If you have questions regarding the legitimacy of a email, you can always verify the authenticity of such email requests by contacting the impersonated person directly by phone or in-person.
