PSA: Bank Impersonation Scam

🚨 SCAM ALERT: PROTECT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT! 🚨
Our department has noticed a sharp rise in sophisticated bank impersonation scams targeting local residents. Scammers are using digital spoofing technology to hijack real bank names and phone numbers, making their calls and texts look completely authentic.
 
Look out for these major red flags:
 
⚠️ Common Scam Tactics
  • Spoofed Caller ID: The call or text displays your actual bank's name.
  • Artificial Urgency: They claim someone is stealing your money right now.
  • Secret Requests: They ask for your password, PIN, or login code.
  • "Safe Account" Transfers: They tell you to send funds via Zelle, wire transfer to "reverse" fraud or take currency out and give it to an agent.
 
 
✅ How to Defend Your Money
  • Hang up immediately: Do not engage, reply, or click links.
  • Call back safely: Dial the trusted number printed directly on the back of your debit or credit card or bank statement.
  • Keep codes private: Your bank will never ask you to read back a verification code or transfer money to yourself.
