Please Make Note:  We NEVER request account information such as credit card, debit card, account number, etc. . . over the internet or e-mail.  Personal information with the bank can only be changed in person with proper ID verification.  Internet "phishing" scams are one of the fastest-growing frauds today.  Phishing typically involves a bogus e-mail OR webpage message that uses legitimate materials, such as a company's Website graphic or logo, in an attempt to entice the recipient to provide personal financial details, such as credit card and Social Security numbers.  The e-mail tries to trick recipients into replying to the email with their information or clicking a link which leads to a spoofed website that only looks like the real bank or ecommerce site.  If the recipient enters their login detail on the fake website, their credentials will be sent to the attackers.  Using this method, attackers are often able to gain not only the login username and password, but quite often the victim also divulges their credit card and other sensitive financial and personal information.  Always make sure to access our website directly, not through an e-mail with an attached link.  Financial institutions, government agencies, retailers, credit card companies and many other organizations have seen their Website graphics, including corporate logos and other materials, “borrowed” by fraudsters’ intent on tricking consumers into divulging personal financial information by responding to an official-looking, but entirely bogus, e-mail.  The names of many well-known companies have been used to perpetuate the scams including, Citibank, E-bay, Best Buy, Discover Card, and EarthLink to name a few.  Like many cons and scams, phishing preys on the unwary.  Here’s how you can keep your guard up, and help fight back against this form of fraud.  Simple Precautions: Always make sure to access our website directly, not through a link attached in an e-mail.  Never respond to an unsolicited e-mail that asks for detail financial information.  Always know who you are dealing with.  Report anything suspicious to the proper authorities.  Alert the company or government agency identified in the suspect e-mail through a telephone number that you know is legitimate.
