We are seeing increasing fraud being perpretated on our clients' accounts. You can reduce the incidence of this problem by:
1. Be sure to check every account statement you receive and report any errors or fraud right away.
2. Be careful of who you disclose your social security number to. Never give out personal information to any source you are not familiar with.
3. Don't open attachments or click on any link unless you are certain of the source.
4. Beware of pop up windows.
5. Use a good anti-virus software.
6. Be cautious of online coupon offers, especially if they ask for account numbers, social security number, or any other personal information.
7. Do not respond to requests from your bank or any banking regulator via e-mail in which personal information is requested.
