Vital Scam Alert – Do not reply to text messages (or possibly phone calls) warning you of multiple fraudulent charges in your ATFCU account. If you respond, the scammer states that he/she works for the ATFCU Fraud Department and gains your trust by accurately quoting a Social Security number associated with the account. Then he/she requests your online banking User Name. This question is the “tell” that reveals the scam. Immediately disconnect. Learn more.

Now that new autos and light trucks are back in good supply, purchasing a used vehicle can be an excellent choice. That’s because you’ll avoid the rapid depreciation that affects most new models. Do your homework ahead of time and avoid problems down the road.
Research is not optional
Get the vehicle history
Obtain the vehicle’s VIN number, the manufacturer’s 17 digit serial number. This can usually be seen by looking through the windshield on the driver’s side. Another common spot is inside the driver’s door.
Navigate to Carfax. Reports begin at $44.99 each with discounts available for multiple reports. It’s not free, but it could save you a bundle. The history report will tell you:
if the vehicle was totaled in an accident and then salvaged
if the vehicle has suffered flood damage
if the odometer has been rolled back
if this vehicle has a history as a “lemon”
if there are any junked titles or lien activity on this vehicle
how this vehicle has been used (taxi, rental, lease)

Take a test drive and kick the tires
Check for these common problems:
Make sure all door and hood joints line up evenly
If the oil is black and thick, it’s a fair bet that the vehicle has not been maintained properly
Check the tire tread for uneven wear. That could indicate an alignment problem
Hear knocking or creaking noises when going over bumps? It might be a bad suspension
On a test drive, remember to drive at a high enough speed to allow you to shift into overdrive
When accelerating during a test drive, look for smoke in your rear view mirror
Check for oil spots under the vehicle after the test drive
