PRESS RELEASE: (October 7, 2008)

In a scam to fraudulently obtain debit and credit card information, residents in the Prestonsburg area received calls Sunday afternoon soliciting card numbers. The solicitor informed the person being called that his/her Bank card had been suspended and the card number was needed for verification purposes to reactivate.  

These calls were not made by any bank as banks would never contact customers in this manner. Also, the caller did not have any bank information and were phishing for information. 

If you provided a caller this information, please immediately contact your bank.  

Always remember to keep identifying information including your account information and social security number in strict confidence.  Never give out identifying information over the phone or through the internet.
