We have yet another bank scam to report. For the third time in less than a week, more Coffee County citizens have received scam text messages. Some customers of First National Bank in Manchester have received text messages that their bank account number was needed to be verified. First National Bank’s Brent Parsley says that this is a scam and the bank did not send it.
Please be aware that this a “phishing” scam that is being texted to many people in our area. Phishing is a means to trick a user into visiting a fraudulent website, usually through a bogus link in an email or text message. First National Bank will never send you a text, email or letter asking for your account numbers, user names, passwords, or Social Security number.
If you have any questions about this scam or the other scams we reported earlier please call your personal banking institution.
