Automated
call to your cell phone
- "Your Visa Debit
Card is inactive."
2/26/2010
— A Phishing attempt,
to steal your debit card
information, is currently
underway in the Bootheel.
In this scam — customers
at several area area banks
have received automated
telephone messages on
their mobile phones. The
messages say the caller
is "Your Bank"
or "Montgomery Bank.
Your Visa Debit is inactive
and needs to be reactivated."
To reactivate
it:
•
call a certain telephone
number and leave a message
with your debit card number
•
text a reply with your
debit card information
•
type the information on
your phone’s keypad.
Kennett National Bank
isn't making these calls.
If you receive
a call like this:
•
Don't offer personal or
account information over
the phone without verifying
the caller's
identity.
•
If you are uncertain of
the identity of the caller,
hang up. Call the bank's
main number
yourself.
•
Do not call a phone number
received in a voice message
or email that asks for
personal
information. It could
lead you to a phony answering
system.
•
If you receive a call
as described, or any call
from Kennett National
Bank, and are unsure
about the call’s
validity, call 573-888-9051
or email us.

Recognizing Phone Fraud
Never give out personal
information over the phone
unless you initiate the
contact. Be suspicious of
the following:
•
Automated messages with
urgent requests to verify
your account.
•
Voicemails asking you to
call a number with an "809",
"284", "876"
or other international
code. You'll end up with
an expensive phone bill.
•
To claim a lottery prize
or other winnings, you're
asked to dial a two-digit
code preceded or
followed by the "#"
or "*" key (for
example, *79 or 72#) and
then an 800 number. This
is a
call-forwarding scam.
Remember:
No
one at KNB will ever ask
you for your Password.
