Phone Call Scam Alert

Fraudsters will take all types of actions to get you to provide your personal and banking information. Such steps include posing as bank employees calling customers from a spoofed phone number that appears to be the bank. The calls have a sense of urgency regarding an issue with your account or a transaction and the caller will request your sensitive information. Stellar Bank will NEVER unexpectedly call asking for your account numbers, passwords, PINs, or login codes. Don't share your sensitive information with anyone. Hang up and call the bank directly.
