Between scary costumes, haunted houses and frightening movies, there's plenty to give you a scare. But this Halloween, there's something else to watch out for: SCAMS! 🎃
We're kicking off our Scary Scams series with phone call scams and how to spot the warning signs. Scammers may pose as your bank, claiming there's a fraudulent payment, or impersonate law enforcement, threatening arrest over missed jury duty or an outstanding warrant unless you pay a fee.
🚩 Be cautious of threats, requests for personal information, or pressure to send money, especially if they initiated the call. Remember, caller ID can be faked! If something feels off, hang up and call the official number. If you've been scammed, contact your bank directly using its verified number and secure your accounts right away.
