As you get home from a long day of #blackfriday shopping, you might want to log in and check all your accounts for unusual activity. And remember, NEVER click on links in a text or email unless you’re expecting the communication from your financial institution. #NotTodayScammer

Clue # 1 that it’s a #scammer: You don’t even have an account at the bank that’s texting you.

Clue # 2 that it’s a #scammer: It comes from a reallllly long email address. Usually your bank will utilize SMS text short code (example: 805-65) to contact you.

Clue # 3 that it’s a #scammer: misspellings and/or grammar mistakes in the text/email.

Clue # 4 that it’s a #scammer: Folks, we don’t know a bank in the world that would use an funny emoji in a text/email to you about fraudulent activity on your account.

Clue # 5 that it’s a #scammer: Extra or out of place characters in the text/emails (see picture above, why the @ sign?)
