(KAIR)--Customers of a local area bank are being warned about an attempt to steal their money.
That word comes in a release from Denison State Bank, which warns that the Jackson County-based bank has been targeted by what the release called “a fraudster.”
According to the release, the person is impersonating the Denison State Bank’s so-called “fraud department,” contacting customers by phone, email, or text, saying the customer needs to take action to prevent unauthorized transactions from posting.
The release says “the fraudster talks the customer into revealing their [bank account’s] login credentials and then does a login and takes their money.”
The release notes it’s believed the fraud attempts are originating in Florida, though the phone number received by the intended bank customer victim indicates the bank’s correct, main phone number.
Denison State Bank customers are told the scam attempts began around August 12.
Such phone calls should be ignored, but if someone falls victim, they should contact the bank at 785-364-3131 or email online@dsbks.com.
