FRAUD AWARENESS

Be Alert. Be Skeptical. Millions of consumers across the U.S. fall victim to fraud each year, making it essential to stay informed and proactive so you can protect yourself and respond quickly if needed. If you receive a call, email, or text message requesting identifying information, do not provide it, as it could be fraudulent. Home Bank may call you to confirm account transactions, but personal identifying information will not be requested.

However, if you call Home Bank, we may ask questions to confirm identity.

Here are some quick tips for avoiding fraud:

• Emails: Watch out for emails that ask you to click a suspicious link or provide personal information. The sender may claim to be someone from Home Bank - Beware, it's a scam.
  
• Phone Calls: If you receive a call from someone claiming to be affiliated with Home Bank and asking you to verify your account number, password, or a code sent to you unexpectantly - Beware, it's a scam.
• Text Messages: If you receive a text message claiming to be from Home Bank and asking you to sign in or offer up your password or personal information - Beware, it's a scam.

If you're EVER in doubt that an email, phone call or text message is legitimate, contact us to verify the request at (866) 401-9440 or call your banker directly.
