Protect Yourself with Fraud Education and Awareness

Keep your account safe.

Fraudsters are still targeting the financial industry in an attempt to get personal details, financial data, and sensitive information like passwords and access codes.

They use various tricks, such as phishing emails, fake donation requests, impersonation scams, and urgent text alerts. Once they have this information, they may try to commit identity fraud, take over accounts, or make unauthorized transactions.

Their methods are always changing, so the best way to stay safe is to stay aware and keep an eye out for potential scams. Cornerstone Community Financial is in your corner, providing education to help you stay informed about this activity.

What is Phishing?

Using artificial intelligence, fraudsters can create convincing voice and video content to impersonate service providers, tech support representatives, government agents, even banking employees.

These schemes try to trick victims into revealing sensitive information or initiating unauthorized funds transfers.

 

What is Vishing?

Using spoofed phone numbers and social engineering tactics, fraudsters attempt to trick you into sharing sensitive information that is then used to conduct fraudulent transactions.

What is Spoofing?

Spoofing is a malicious practice of disguising the real phone number used to make calls, in an attempt to “phish” for sensitive information. Fraudsters will use telephone numbers you may know and recognize to mask the real phone number they are calling from.
