Bank scam reported in region

By Scott Harvey

– Guaranty Bond Bank is warning residents of a yet another scam that's using their businesses' name.

This one sends fraudulent emails and text messages to customers and non-customers alike, and requests you click on a website to update debit card information. The message tells you to call a number because your account is frozen.

You're advised not, under any circumstance, to release any information.

Last year, fraudulent telephone calls were being placed to try to get people's information.
