Legion Credit Union Scam: Fake US Credit Union Warning

Legion Credit Union is a scheme at legioncreditunion.com that uses the trustworthy image of credit unions, the member-owned cooperatives in the USA. The FCA issued an unauthorised financial services warning in July 2026, and the Norwegian authority shared the warning.

🚩 How Is the Fake Credit Union Used?

In schemes of this kind, a victim of a forex or crypto platform is told that "your earnings have been transferred to your account at the credit union", and a panel that looks like internet banking is opened for the person. The user who wants to move the balance to their own bank is asked for an "international transfer fee", a "tax" or "account activation". Taking money from an investment victim a second time under the appearance of banking is qualified fraud under Article 158/1-f of the Turkish Penal Code.
