IMPORTANT REMINDER

Adams Community Bank will never call or email you requesting personal information. If you receive a request for this information, it is a scam referred to as phishing. Do not provide this information; notify us immediately!

Adams Community Bank will also not ask you for this information while conducting online banking or under any other circumstances through the internet. It is a scam if you receive a pop-up message asking for any personal information while online! These scams can appear from malicious code installed on your computer. Do not provide this information; notify us immediately! Remember, it is important that you update and run anti-virus protection software on a regular basis to help protect your computer against malicious code.

Always remember, you supplied us with all the necessary information at account opening and there is never a need to request it again. However, we may occasionally ask you to confirm that your information is correct.

Look For These Warning Signs:

• The caller or email message will urge you to act quickly, or your account will be closed.
• The wording may be sloppy and contain errors and misspellings.
• Personal information is requested – such as user names and passwords, debit card numbers and PINs, social security numbers, mother’s maiden name, etc. (Remember, we already have your account information and should not have your passwords, PINs, or other access codes!)
