What You Need To Know About Current Commercial Scams
Urgent: Fraud Alert
The Oklahoma Bankers Association has issued a statewide Fraud Alert.
What’s Happening
Criminals are calling employees and pretending to be the bank’s fraud department. The caller ID may even display as BancFirst (i.e. spoofing). Once the employee is engaged, the scammer will attempt to:
- Obtain your online banking username and password, or
- Request remote access to the employee’s computer, or
- Request authorization/security codes to “verify” or “test” transaction.
Once granted access, the scammer can create fraudulent wires or ACH transactions and quickly move funds out of your account. Recovery is often impossible.
Your Liability
If someone in your business provides credentials or system access that leads to fraudulent transactions, the loss will fall on the business.
Never share your password or security codes. BancFirst will never:
- Ask for your password, PIN, or verification codes
- Request remote access to your computer
What To Do
If you receive a call claiming to be BancFirst:
- Hang up.
- Do not share any information or codes.
- Contact your nearest BancFirst location or call our Customer Service.
