Scams Are on the Rise

Calls from scammers pretending to be your bank are prevalent today and seem to rotate from bank to bank.  What should you do if you get a phone call from the "bank" that you are questioning whether it is real or not?  

NBC will not contact you and ask for: 

• Your online banking password
• Your 4-digit ATM PIN
• A one-time access code sent to your phone or email 
• Your card number or full account number

We will never require you to:

• Provide remote access to your computer
• Send money to "secure" your account
• Act quickly or pressure you into action
• Click on a link from an email sent by "us"

Common Red Flags:

1. Instructions to act "right now" to avoid a loss.
2. Requests for remote access to your device.
3. An aggressive caller that tries to keep you on the phone.
4. Requests for a one-time access code.

Remember:

• Caller ID can be spoofed to look like it is from our bank
• Scammers can use fake email addresses that look real
• When in doubt, hang up!  We won’t think you’re being rude!  Call us back at 402-423-2111.  Do not hit re-dial (remember caller ID can be spoofed). Feel free to call the number above or the number of your banker.
