Current Scams

Criminals are creative and brilliant. They are always trying to keep two steps in front of everyone by crafting new scams to trick unsuspecting victims into providing information to them for their financial gain. Staying alert and being skeptical and cautious is your best defense. Never provide any confidential information to someone you don't know. Scammers will attempt to gain your financial information through emails and phone calls. They may also trick you into sending them money from your account.
