Fraud Alert: Beware of Phishing Emails
We have been made aware of phishing emails that falsely appear to be from local internet service providers. These emails are designed to trick recipients into clicking links, opening attachments, or providing personal information.
Please remember:
- Do not click links or open attachments in unexpected emails.
- Never provide passwords, account numbers, or other sensitive information in response to an email.
- Verify suspicious communications by contacting the company directly using a trusted telephone number or website.
- Delete the email if you are unsure of its legitimacy.
Farmers State Bank encourages all customers to remain vigilant against phishing attempts and other online scams. Criminals frequently impersonate legitimate businesses, utilities, internet providers, financial institutions, and government agencies in an effort to obtain personal information.
Protect yourself: When in doubt, do not click. Contact the company directly using information you know to be legitimate.
