What do I do if get an email I think is a scam?

If you get an email asking you to update your personal information (debit card number, AccèsD password, social insurance number, or date of birth) because your AccèsD account is about to expire, or for any other reason, don't reply; don't click any links in the email, and don't open any attachments that come with it.

To report an email you suspect is a scam, forward it and the link to the site in question to phishing@desjardins.com.

We investigate every suspicious email you send in and work with the authorities and Internet providers to shut down fraudulent websites.

Attention: Don't include any confidential information in your email (such as your account number or PIN). For assistance, call an AccèsD Services advisor at 1-877-7ACADIE (1-877-722-2343) without delay.
