🚨 Member Safety Announcement: Protect Yourself from "Jugging"🚨
Have you heard of jugging? Criminals watch people leave banks, credit unions, and ATMs after they withdraw cash. Then the criminals follow them, sometimes for miles, and wait for a chance to grab the money from the person or from their car. 🚗💨
A few simple SAFETY TIPS can make all the difference:
🔒 Keep it out of sight. Put cash and envelopes away before you walk outside.
👀 Look around. Notice anyone watching or sitting in a parked car.
🚫 Don't leave cash in your vehicle, even for a quick stop.
🪞 Check your mirrors. Watch for a car that stays behind you through several turns.
💡 Trust your instincts. If something feels off, it probably is.
Think you're being followed? Don't confront the person and don't drive home. Go to a police station or a busy, well-lit place and call 911. If you can, give the dispatcher the car's make, model, color, and license plate.
