Banking and Fraud Prevention
Don’t be duped by phishy texts
By ATB Financial 8 March 2019 less than a minute
Get your guard up. Text messages are coming in fast and furious from bad guys trying to get into your bank account.
The messages appear to come from mobile phone companies, offering refunds for bills that have been overpaid. Y’all know that’s not how it works!
If you touched the link to deposit the refund, scammers on the other side would be trying to get your online banking credentials.
Be safe. Delete the text.
