Dollars & Sense Tip of the Week

by Sharon Moore, President

Summer time is great...no school, vacations, longer days. But it’s also prime time for scammers to take advantage of you. Don’t be a victim! Follow these simple steps to avoid being scammed:

Never, ever give out any personal information to an automated or live call. Remember that financial institutions already have your personal information…we would never call you to request this type of information.

Copy down the number from your caller ID and the date and time of the call and forward the information to your financial institution.

If you make the mistake of giving personal information to a scammer, contact your financial institution immediately, close the accounts and cards and reopen with new numbers, and order a copy of your credit report.

Don’t let a scammer ruin your summer fun! Never give out your personal information unless it’s a call that you’ve initiated.
