What Is Your Bank Doing Now?
Fraud Schemes Continue To Proliferate
Be wary of requests for information about your bank accounts or credit/debit cards.
Latest schemes include sending you an “Urgent” email request indicating that your account is about to be closed or has been breached or has had fraudulent activity or is about to be placed on hold.
The request is for you to take some action, sometimes as simple as “clicking” on an icon or statement to reactivate your account or keep it from being placed on hold.
We recently received such notice and contacted Chase Bank where we were told that the bank is aware of fraudulent emails and is taking steps to track down the responsible parties.
Delete these requests from your email. If in doubt, call your bank and ask if they sent such notice to you.
