Caller ID Spoofing
Please be aware of spoofing scams in which a caller intentionally falsifies or disguises a caller ID to appear as someone they are not. Scammers may act or say they are with a legitimate organization, including as a representative of a financial institution, to get you to respond with personal information they can then use to engage in fraudulent activity such as stealing your identity or money.
First National Bank will never call, email or text you to request personal information such as Personal Identification Numbers (PIN numbers) or passwords. For additional information, visit the FCC’s website
Use caution at all times and never answer calls from unknown numbers, respond to questions or provide personal information of any kind. If you suspect the call might be a spoofing scam, hang up immediately and call the company or government agency the caller claimed to represent to verify the authenticity of the call/request.
