Members Please Beware- June 6th Fraud Alert

We have been made aware that fraudsters are masking their phone number with the First Citizens' 1-800-642-7515 number and asking for personal information such as debit card numbers and pins.  The fraudster may inform you that fraud was discovered on your account and they need to send you a new debit card. They may sound professional and even text you with a verification code. Although First Citizens' does contact members when fraud is detected on an account, we will NEVER ask for your card number, ESPECIALLY your pin. Please DO NOT give any personal information when being asked over the phone. This is a scam and we ask you stay vigilant to prevent actual fraud from occurring on your account. If you receive this call, hang up and dial us at 1-800-642-7515 to inform us.
