With advancements in technology, scammers have become increasingly convincing with their schemes. Phishing attacks can be particularly deceiving since scammers will use common forms of communication to convince you to share personal information.
However, knowing and understanding these phishing scams is one of the most impactful ways to protect yourself (and your finances) from falling victim.
Even if these scams are familiar, remaining vigilant and informed is the best way to protect yourself from scams.
“Never provide account or personal information,” shares Russell Estrada, Vice President – Corporate Security and Fraud Prevention Officer for Southside Bank. “Contact your bank in a way you know to be legitimate, either online or by calling the phone number on your statement or debit card.”
Remember, you are the best line of defense when it comes to protecting your information. Taking preventative actions like these are one of the most effective ways to protect yourself from fraud.
