AVOID SCAMMERS DURING TAX SEASON
Common scams include phishing, fake charities, threatening impersonator phone calls, and social media scams. Scammers often pretend to work for the IRS, but the IRS will never call, text, email or mail you asking for confidential information. Be vigilant and be sure your only contacts are official agencies and charities.

Fraud and Scam Awareness
Imposter scams often begin with a call, text message or email. The scams may vary but work the same way-a scammer pretends to be someone you trust, often a government agent, family member, or someone who promises to fix your computer-to convince you to send them money or share personal information. Scammers may ask you to wire money, put money on a gift card, or send cryptocurrency, knowing these types of payments can be hard to reverse. For more tips go to aba.com/consumers.
Please remember that we will never send you a text, email, phone call, or mail asking you to give us your personal, secure information in any of these ways. If you ever receive a request that looks like it is from us, asking for your personal information or login credentials, please do not respond and contact your local branch directly. Here are some of our latest tips on preventing fraud. Tips to Prevent Fraud.
