HOW TO AVOID FAKE BANK SCHEMES

 You get a text from your bank saying some fraud has happened.  Or they may even call or send you an email.

DON'T FALL FOR THIS.

Anyone can call or text you.

Here's how to react if you get a call or text.  

Call:  Tell the caller you will call the bank back.  Do not call a phone number they give you.  Look up your banks 800 customer service number and call that directly

Text:  Call your bank directly.  Do not click any links or call any phone number listed on the text.

email:  Call your bank directly.  Do not click any links or call any phone number listed on the email.

BOTTOM LINE:  Do not give out personal information to anyone who contacts you directly.  Do not verify credit card numbers or social security numbers to anyone who may call you no matter how convincing they may sound.
