We Never Ask
08/13/2024
Urgent text messages pretending to be from a financial institution are the most common text-based fraud today — costing victims who fall for it more than $3,000 on average.
Scammers know how to get you to panic and then easily trick you into revealing personal information or account access codes, allowing them to instantly drain your accounts.
We will never text you and ask for your PIN, password, or login code in a text message.If you receive such a text, it is a scam.
Easy steps to avoid scams
Don’t rely on displayed caller ID — Thieves can mimic any number or sender to look legitimate.
Just hang up — Simplest way to not get scammed is to just hang up or delete the text.
Stop oversharing — If you’re putting birthdays, anniversaries, retirement info and more on social media, you’re sharing details scammers need.
Stop clicking links — Clicking links in emails or texts from companies you don’t know can direct you to malicious sites that steal your information.
Don’t share your screen — Someone contacting you out of the blue to resolve access issues is a scam. Be wary of ever sharing your screen where scammers can view your personal information.
