First Financial Bank has provided a series of donations to help Indiana residents in the aftermath of recent severe weather and flooding in Indiana.

Immediately after the Aug. 11 storm in Northwest and north central Indiana, the First Financial Foundation provided a $50,000 contribution to the American Red Cross Indiana Region.

In early September, First Financial followed with a series of additional donations, including $10,000 to the United Way of Northwest Indiana, $7,500 to the Franklin County Community Foundation relief fund, $7,500 to the Fayette County Community Foundation relief fund and $5,000 to Our Neighbor's Pantry, which serves Gary, Whiting and other NWI communities.

Fraud scams are becoming more sophisticated, making it harder to tell what’s real and what’s not. Protect yourself by watching for these common red flags:

📲A message from an unfamiliar email address or phone number asks you to click a link.
🤔A text or call requests personal information, such as your PIN, password, or full Social Security number.
💰Someone pressures you to send money through a payment app, wire transfer, or another payment method.

If something feels suspicious, pause before you act. Contact the company directly using a trusted phone number or verified contact method.
