Scammers are combining fake websites with convincing phone
calls to trick consumers into sharing sensitive information.
How Fake
Websites Work
Fraudsters create websites that look nearly identical to
legitimate banking sites. They may use:
- Slightly altered URLs
- Copied logos and branding
- Fake login portals
- Pop‑ups urging "urgent account verification"
Once you enter your information, scammers capture it
instantly.

- Ask for Secure Access Codes sent via email or text
