Fraudulent Phone Calls Claiming To Be Your Bank
We are receiving reports that scammers are calling attempting to impersonate banks using spoofed phone numbers.
The scammer will call you with a fake caller ID and often times the copy of a legitimate phone number from the financial institution. They will be calling with various “out of the blue” questions at random. They will either ask you to confirm a fake transaction, provide personal information or click on a fraudulent link that they will email or text you will remaining on the phone. Banks will never ask for your personal information over the phone.
If you receive a call requesting this type of information or if the caller is asking you to do anything out of the ordinary such as clicking on a link or giving out personal information hang up immediately and contact the bank at their direct number to confirm a request or report suspicious activity.
