Fraud Alerts

Keeping informed about recent data breaches and fraud is one of the ways you can help prevent yourself from becoming a victim.

Please forward any suspicious emails or texts to reportfraud@oldpoint.com.


SCAM ALERT: People are being targeted with a scam that starts with a simple text to confirm a fraudulent purchase and ends with their online banking hacked, fraudulent bill pays set up and money lost.

Here's how it works: You get a text asking you to confirm a purchase, then after you reply "No", a person impersonating your bank calls you. These fraudsters can mask their phone number to look like your bank's phone number and may ask you for your online banking password and/or to confirm a code that is sent to you. DO NOT PROVIDE THEM ANY INFORMATION!

 

Remember, Old Point:

- Will NOT call you to confirm a transaction. We do send texts to confirm transactions, but will ask you to call us if you did not make that purchase.

- Will NOT ask you for your online banking password

- Will NOT ask you to provide/repeat a code that is sent to you

Please be careful out there!
