Fraud Alerts

Watch Out for Fake Calls and Texts from Financial Institutions

December 23, 2019 Please be aware of a new scam targeting financial institution members and customers from multiple institutions. Fraudsters pose as bank representatives in an attempt to access your accounts in a variety of ways. What does this scam look like?

A fraudster calls or texts you and pretends to be a representative from your financial institution. They might sound like your financial institution. Calls, texts, and emails can be easily “spoofed” or faked, so it is important to be diligent in reviewing emails and do not always trust caller ID.
The fraudster then attempts to verify a transaction you did not make to gain your trust. They offer to order you a new card.
You are then asked to provide personal or sensitive information, such as your user ID, full or partial Social Security number, PIN, full or partial card number, or account number.
Once a fraudster has this information, they will log into your account, transfer funds, and use counterfeit cards to withdraw funds at the ATM or make purchases.

AmeriChoice will never contact you to ask for any of the following information:

AmeriChoice account number
Social Security number (full or partial)
Account PIN
User ID
Mobile/online banking password
Credit/debit card CVV number
Credit/debit card PIN

What to do if you are contacted: If you receive a call, email, or other communication from someone claiming to represent a financial institution (including AmeriChoice) asking for the information listed above, please do not engage. Hang up and call your financial institution using published phone numbers on their website to speak with a representative. How can you protect yourself?

Always call your financial institution directly to verify account status or transactions. If you receive a call, text, or email from a party claiming to be your financial institution, do not provide any account information.
Think before you act. Be wary of communications that play on fear (frozen bank account or fraudulent transactions), request urgent action (act immediately), request personal information (PIN, SSN, account numbers, etc.), or offer deals that sound too good to be true. If you’re ever unsure, hang up and contact your financial institution.
Never share any password, or PIN, even if they are temporary or one-time codes. Financial institutions do not need to ask for your password.

Set up account alerts to notify you of activity on your account. AmeriChoice offers multiple free account alerts through online banking as well as free VISA purchase alerts.
