If you receive a telephone call or a text message that claims to be from 元素, you must NEVER PROVIDE YOUR SECURE ACCESS CODES, PASSWORDS, 用户id, FULL DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD NUMBERS, 或针 — even if the caller ID, text, or email shows "元素 Financial" as the sender. This is a tactic called "spoofing." We will never call you to ask for this information.

What can I do to prevent fraud?

What steps is 元素 taking to prevent fraud?

Steps 元素 is Taking to Prevent 欺诈

  • We'll confirm who you are. If you call us, we may take extra steps to confirm your identity. 经常, a fraudster already knows a lot about you, including your birth date and social security number. As such, we do not rely on that information alone to identify you. We may ask for other information we have on record to confirm that it's really you. Please be patient with this process.
  • We use fraud detection practices. We review and adjust fraud detection settings on card purchases to further protect you against unauthorized transactions. Our team and state of the art fraud detection systems are monitoring your account 24/7. We will contact you if any transactions raise concerns.
  • We'll never ask for your full card number. Our card services or fraud departments may ask you for the last 4 digits of your card if you contact us first, but will NOT ask for the full 16 digits. We will NEVER ask you for a PIN or the CVV digits from the back of the card.
