Do You Have What It Takes to Be a Scam Slayer?
Nearly 3 in 4 Americans have experienced a scam or fraud attempt*. Every day, thousands of people fall victim to fraudulent emails, texts, and calls from scammers pretending to be their bank, a loved one, the government, or law enforcement. In fact, Americans lost an estimated $68 billion to scams last year**.
At FNB, we’re committed to helping you spot — and slay scams. We’ve joined the American Bankers Association and banks across the country in a nationwide effort to put criminals on notice and give you the power to protect your information and your money.
We’re here to help you become a Scam Slayer: An everyday hero who knows that the best defense against a scam is knowing what to look for and what your bank will never ask.
Here are 6 signs of a scam, and the power moves Scam Slayers use to protect themselves:
- You’re pressured to open a link – Block!
- You’re called out of the blue and asked not to tell anyone – Hang up!
- You’re emailed an attachment you weren’t expecting – Hit delete!
- You’re asked for personal information like your PIN number, passwords, or Social Security number – Hang up!
- You’re pressured to log into or send money with payment apps – Block and report!
- You’re asked to click, pay, or respond – Verify first!
