Scams & Financial Fraud

Financial fraud & scams are increasing at an alarming rate! 
Educate yourselves on the most common scams & fraud HERE.

• Guard your information. If you get a call from a company or person, do not give any banking information or personal identification over the phone.

• Don’t rely on caller ID, scammers can make it look like they are calling from a legitimate company or person.

• Question unusual payment requests, scammers often demand very specific forms of payment. No legitimate company will ask you to send money to anyone, including yourself, to correct a problem or get a refund.

• If you are suspicious about a call or text, hang up or don’t respond. Hanging up is your best defense. You can then reach out directly to the company with a phone number from their website or on the back of your card.

• If you think you've been scammed, don’t be afraid or embarrassed to talk about it—waiting could only make it worse. Immediately call your bank and/or credit card company.
