Message from the President
With the rise in online scams, we want to remind everyone to stay vigilant, especially regarding fraudulent PayPal activity. Scammers often pose as legitimate companies, like PayPal, to trick you into providing personal information or transferring money.
Here are a few tips and tricks from First Federal Community Bank to help protect yourself:
Verify the Sender: Always check the sender's email address or phone number. PayPal and other reputable companies won’t ask for personal information through email or text. Look for Suspicious Links: Don’t click on any links in emails or messages that look unusual. Hover over the link to see the URL it will direct you to – if it looks suspicious, avoid it. Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Whenever possible, enable two-factor authentication on your accounts for added security. Contact Directly: If you receive a message claiming to be from PayPal, go to the PayPal site directly or contact their customer service, rather than using any provided contact information in the message.
At FFCB, protecting our customers is a top priority. Please reach out to us if you have any concerns or questions.
