We Want To Protect You From Scams
There's no shortage of scams out there. That's why WSB has partnered with the American Bankers Association to provide helpful resources through the Banks Never Ask That program. It's a way to show how criminals posing as a financial institution try to deceive you into providing your personal or financial information. In reality, banks will never ask you for that type of information through a phone call, email or text.
What Is Phishing?
Phishing. It's a term for a specific form of scams. Phishing is fraud. Plain and simple. Every day, thousands of people fall for fraudulent emails, texts, and calls from online scammers pretending to be a bank. That's where we come in. October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month and we want to do our part to raise awareness and help educate everyone on the best practices to help avoid a fraudulent phishing scam.
