- Asking for personal information should raise a flag since Bank of Zachary will never send you unsolicited emails with embedded links or pop-up windows that ask for confidential information, such as your Social Security number, account numbers, ATM or Debit Card PIN.
- Urgent appeals claim that your account may be closed if you fail to confirm, verify or authenticate your personal information. Bank of Zachary will never ask you to verify information in this way.
- Messages about system and security updates claim that the bank needs to confirm important information due to upgrades and state that you must update your information online. Bank of Zachary will not ask you to verify information in this way.
- Offers that sound too good to be true often are. You may be asked to fill out a short customer service survey in exchange for money being credited to your account, and you are then asked to provide your account number for proper routing of the supposed credit.
- Typos and other errors are often the mark of fraudulent emails or Websites. Be on the lookout for typos or grammatical errors, awkward writing and poor visual design.
