SCAM ALERT: Scammers have been impersonating fraud investigators from trusted organizations like the FDIC and major banks. They contact victims by phone or text, claim their accounts have been compromised, and convince them to transfer money for “safekeeping” or to assist in a fake investigation. In some cases, the scammers possess detailed personal information and send fake documents to appear legitimate. Key warning signs: • Unsolicited calls or texts claiming to be from your bank or a government agency • Requests to transfer money to a new or business account • Pressure to act quickly, secrecy, or destruction of transaction evidence • Instructions to install unfamiliar apps or use your phone at ATMs • Fake deposits followed by requests to move funds REMEMBER: Real banks and agencies will NEVER ask you to transfer money to protect your account or participate in secret investigations. If you get a call or message like this, hang up and contact your bank directly using a trusted number. Please share this post to help protect your friends and family.
