Financial Institution Scams

from Scam Squad Hosted by Hub for Podcasting

Join Deputy District Attorney Vicki Johnson and host Patti Teel as Vicki shares some important social media scams that are too frequently reoccurring. Social media potentially houses sensitive personal information. This lures fraudsters to phish unsuspecting browsers with fraudulent messages by making false claims or fake friend requests. In our last episode we talked about fraudulent friend requests and romance scams. This week we talk about scams that involve financial documents, such as your bank or credit report. Scammers can often appear to send legitimate messages from your bank, but if you are aware of potential scams you will know what to recognize as legitimate and phony. To report a scam, call the District Attorney’s Fraud Hotline at 805-568-2442. The Better Business Bureau urges you to visit their Scam Tracker site at www.bbb.org/scamtracker/santa-barbara/reportscam or call them directly at 805-963-8657. A special thanks to Montecito Bank and Trust for sponsoring our show.
