“Scammers now coach victims on what to say at the bank — and tell them we are the enemy.”
We are begging our community to read this post carefully and share it with your friends, family, neighbors – everyone you know. These scams are happening right here in our own communities. Your neighbors are losing their life savings.
SIGNS IT’S A SCAM
Today’s scams are so sophisticated that criminals will:
- Tell you exactly what to tell the bank
- Warn you not to trust us
- Scare you into acting quickly
- Order you to keep the conversation secret
- Convince you your money isn’t safe unless you move it immediately
- Use advanced technology, including AI-powered voice and video, to impersonate trusted individuals
BE SKEPTICAL
This is not a sign that someone is gullible. These criminals use psychological manipulation designed to override logic — even in educated, careful people. If anyone tells you to lie to your bank, that is 100% a scam. No exceptions.
Government agencies never ask for secrecy. Law enforcement never tells you to hide information from your bank. No legitimate organization will ever coach you on what to say.
TRUST YOUR BANK
Your bankers are trained to ask a lot of questions. Please do not get defensive or question their motives. When a transaction, such as a significant cash withdrawal, or unusual account activity is questioned, it is because trained bank staff is performing due diligence to ultimately protect your money.
If we question a wire, it is because we have seen the pattern and believe that you are being targeted. Our ONLY goal is to protect you and your hard-earned money.
Before you act under pressure, STOP.
Pause and verify.
Call us – for a second opinion, for verification, for protection.
We can only help you if you tell us what’s happening. Our bankers will never be offended. We will never judge you. Our team is trained to spot coached responses and intervene with empathy and authority.
If you suspect a scam, you can also report it to official resources such as the FTC, FBI, or the American Bankers Association.
