The Mount Pleasant Police Department is issuing an important reminder to the community regarding the security of personal banking information. It is crucial to understand that legitimate banks will never request sensitive details such as usernames, passwords, account numbers, or any other personal information through phone calls, emails, or text messages.
If you receive a communication from someone who claims to be a representative of your bank and asks for this type of information, the police department strongly advises you to terminate the call immediately. Following this, it is essential to reach out to your local law enforcement agency to report the incident. Additionally, you should contact your bank without delay to inform them of the suspicious interaction. Taking these steps can help protect your personal information and prevent potential fraud.
