Protect Yourself from Bank Wire Fraud

Watch this video from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to learn about three common wire scams.

Contact us with questions or concerns about fraud — we are here to help you!

Remember — when you wire money to a person or business, it’s final and cannot be reversed. That is why it’s important to never:

  • Wire money to a person or business you do not know.
  • Share your account information.
  • Respond to unsolicited emails, phone calls, text or direct messages that offer “too good to be true” opportunities (job offers, free vacations, or lottery winnings to name a few).
  • Deposit a check that is written over the agreed amount and then wire the extra money back to the sender.
  • Wire money to:
    • Online sellers
    • An online love interest
    • Rental representatives
    • A new employer
    • A relative or friend who claims to be stranded out of town (and you cannot back up the claims).
