•  Verify Caller Identity: If contacted about an urgent account issue, immediately hang up and call your financial institution using a trusted number from your debit/credit card, account statement, or official correspondence. Avoid using numbers provided in unsolicited texts or voicemails.
• Urgency and Threats: Scammers often create a sense of urgency or use threats to pressure you into providing personal information or transferring funds.
• Use Multifactor Authentication: Be cautious of any unsolicited calls asking for your account numbers, passwords, PINs, or other confidential details.
