Spot a Scam

Follow These Pro Tips
from the American Bankers Association

 

Pro Tip 1: Watch for Misspelled Words

Fraudulent texts and emails often have typos. Real banks use spell check.

Pro Tip 2: Call the Number On Your Card

If you think an email, text, or call might be a scam, play it safe. Just hang up and call the number on the back of your card.

Pro Tip 3: Never Share Your PIN or Password

Got an email, text, or phone call that claims to be from your bank, but is asking for your PIN or password? Just hang up and call the number on the back of your card.

Pro Tip 4: Beware Scare Tactics

Scam emails, texts, and calls may pressure or even threaten you to respond. Just ignore them and call your bank directly.

Pro Tip 5: Be Wary of Suspicious Links

Banks will never send you a text or email that asks you to click a suspicious link.
