Recent news about tariffs and import changes has been making the rounds across the U.S. and scammers have jumped at the opportunity to take advantage of the confusion surrounding this topic. One of the latest schemes involves fake “tariffs” or customs fees tied to your online orders.

If you’ve ever shopped online, especially by clicking an ad through social media or an unfamiliar website — you could be a target. In an article published by Better Business Bureau, many consumers have reported placing an order and waiting, only to later receive a text or email claiming their package is stuck in customs due to tariffs. The message then asks them to pay the “difference” to have the package released.

Channel 13 reports that legitimate tariffs are paid by businesses or importers — not consumers. If someone claims you're personally responsible for tariff or custom fees, it's a scam.

Whether you're an avid online shopper or know someone who is, it's important to stay informed. Share these online safety tips to help protect yourself and others:

Shop on trusted, secure websites. Stick to retailers you know and make sure the website URL starts with “https” and avoid clicking unfamiliar ads. Read more tips here on how to shop safely online.

Avoid clicking suspicious links. Scammers may send messages claiming your package is being held due to tariff fees. Don’t click. These can lead to identity theft. Listen to The Perfect Bite podcast, episode 83 to learn how to protect yourself.

Enable transaction alerts. Stay on top of your spending by setting real-time alerts through CCCU’s online banking.

If you believe you’ve been targeted by a scam, contact us right away at 702-228-2228 or report fraud here.

CCCU Cares in Action: Volunteering at Habitat for Humanity’s Thrift Store

Our CCCU team had a blast working with Habitat for Humanity at their ReStore shop on West Sahara.

 
ReStore is more than just a second-hand store. It’s a nonprofit retail outlet offering new and gently used furniture, appliances, home décor, and building materials at great prices. Best of all, every purchase helps Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas build safe, affordable housing for local families with low incomes.

CCCU volunteers organized inventory in the warehouse, polished and arranged furniture on the sales floor, and ensured everything was ready for shoppers to enjoy.

If you’re shopping for home essentials or a one-of-a-kind furniture piece, consider visiting the ReStore at www.lasvegashabitat.org/restore. You’ll find great deals and your purchase will directly support the mission of providing everyone with a decent place to live.
