FRAUD ALERT!

Community banks are reporting that fraudsters, posing as bank representatives, are contacting customers via phone, email and text trying to get them to provide debit card data and other personal information. In another case, loan customers received postcards urging them to call the bank to discuss “an important matter regarding the loan”- this is also a scam.

If you are ever unsure about who you are being contacted by or talking to, DO hang up the phone or ignore responding to emails and texts. Instead, DO only use the contact information on your banks website, debit cards, other known bank communications to contact your bank. Do not be fooled or bullied into giving out your personal information.
