Autumn Raulerson ECB Publishing, Inc.
There’s a new round of scams to look out for that could trick you out of your bank account information from Capital City Bank.
The company’s Fraud Alert Center put out an article concerning these scams, titled “Received an unexpected call from someone claiming to be your bank?’[1]
What the Scam Looks Like
How to Protect Yourself
- Caller ID can be faked. If a call claims to be from an official office, hang up and call the office back on its published number.
- Contact the organization directly using a phone number or website you look up yourself, not one provided in the message.
