This week’s episode of Scam Squad features Senior Fraud Specialist at Montecito Bank and Trust, Doris Roof. Doris updates our listeners about what is happening at the bank in the world of scams. Called ‘smishing’, it is very common to see scammers reach out to anyone via text message or email, claiming to be an official merchant or organization. Even if you receive a text message to your personal cell-phone, it can be a scammer attempting to phish personal information. When accessing the internet, especially when providing sensitive information, be aware of your online security.
To report a scam or if you believe you have been scammed, call Vicki Johnson at 805.568.2442
