Consumer Alert!
There are some newer and more sophisticated scams trying to gain access to your banking and credit card accounts.
See the screenshots. A text with a verification code came in with a transfer request from the bank. Looks like it came from the bank but you didn’t request it. Well, it says underneath of it if you didn’t request this text “Help” for more information and since you didn’t request it you do that. Then you get a phone number to call and report suspicious activity to the bank. The problem is the number that you get back to call IS the scammer. Do not call that number.
If you suspect any sort of fraud on your account, get your bank card and call the number on the back. ONLY call that number. If affects us all so consumers have to be careful and watch out for themselves and each other. Be safe.
Have a peaceful and prosperous day.
