Fraud Alert-Stimulus Scam
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 aims to stimulate the U.S. economy through tax credits, incentives, and expansion of social services and an increase in domestic spending on education, health care and infrastructure programs. Unfortunately con-artists are using the stimulus as a con. One attempt consists of an email offer of a $100 stimulus check. The email instructs consumers to go to a web site and fill out a survey or series of surveys. The first survey is on a "stimulus topic," but the consumer may be asked to fill out additional surveys in order to be eligible for the $100. There is no such check available, and in the email's disclaimer, you may have to make purchases or meet other conditions in order to get the money.
Consumers who recieve email solicitations like this one or other stimulus-based ads should delete them. Never respond to an email sent by somebody you do not know. If you have questions about an offer or believe you have been a victim of a stimulus scam, contact the Public Protection Department of the Attorney General's Office @ (501) 682-2007 or 800-482-8982.

| UARK Federal Credit Union is safe and sound |
|
Recently there have been several events in the news highlighting the changes in our economy and, most significantly, the credit market. High commodity prices, low interest rates from the Fed, a weak dollar, bank failures and the fallout from the sub-prime mortgage market have been in the news daily. How does this impact UARK Federal Credit Union?
We want you to know that your credit union is safe and sound. UARK makes responsible lending decisions and has conservative investment policies. UARK is regularly audited by independent auditors as well as federal examiners. We continue to receive excellent ratings for financial soundness.
