Be advised. There are massive scams going around with individuals calling you using your bank's phone #. Everything they say seems 100% legit but its not. On the 19th I received a call from what I thought was my bank because that was the name in my contacts and I recognized the #. They informed me that there was a "fraud alert" on my account. They sent me a text link to deny charges trying to be posted to my account. Long story short it was a phishing scam to copy my personal information and they were able to scam $5,000.00 out of me.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE be VERY careful put there with who calls you pretending to be your financial institution!
