Fraud Prevention
If someone contacts you, do not share your account information
Most fraud starts when you are contacted and pressured into giving information that would help the fraudster get access to your account or convincing you to send money. Log in information, passwords, account numbers and transaction verification should never be given out in that case. Hang up, don’t click on any links, and if you think the contact is valid, contact the business or individual yourself using a trusted contact number or website. Red flags of fraud include:
- Offers of credit that you didn’t apply for
- Pressure to act now (a sense of urgency)
- Threatening language
- Incoming requests for payment
- Typos in email or website addresses
