Scam Warning from Shiner Police Department
This is a warning from Shiner Police Department;Scenario: You get a call from your bank telling you that they detected fraudulent activity on your account. The caller ID shows the correct number for your bank. The caller knows your name, your address, your account number and they tell you that you are a victim and your money has been stolen but they will recover it for you. They tell you that their "Fraud Department" is going to get your money back. It is a LIE! They actually plan to steal your money.
Bank scams involve criminals using impersonation, spoofing technology, and phishing to steal your credentials or trick you into transferring your own money. A common tactic is "caller ID spoofing," where scammers manipulate phones to make legitimate bank numbers appear, claiming your account is compromised.
