Heads up United Southern Bank customers—scammers are up to no good and they’re posing as a branch of the banking system.
According to USB officials, scammers are using a ‘spoofed’ number that looks like the Main Office phone number and telling customers that they’re from the fraud department looking into suspicious activities on their accounts.
United Southern would like folks to know that while they may call occasionally to verify banking activity, the bank does not have a dedicated fraud department. They also will never call and ask for personal or banking information, such as PINs, online banking login information or demand money for legal fees or investigations.
If you receive a suspicious call that gives you any doubts, hang up immediately and call USB directly at 270-885-0056.
If you believe you have received a scam call or may have been affected, contact USB right away.
