Detective Sean Houlihan of the Wallingford Police Department was honored by Finex Credit Union for his investigative efforts that led to the recovery of over $3,000 stolen from three members in a phone scam. In recognition of his work, Finex made a $500 donation to the Wallingford Police Benevolent Association, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between financial institutions and law enforcement in combating fraud. Mary Sullivan, Director of Business Development at Finex, praised Houlihan for making a significant difference for their members and highlighted the necessity of community awareness regarding the growing sophistication of phone scams. The credit union also acknowledged its internal fraud team, particularly Loren Ramos, for their support during the investigation. As part of ongoing fraud education, Finex reminds its members to be cautious and never share sensitive information with anyone who contacts them unexpectedly, as they will not ask for such information in that manner.
