Beware of “Phishing” Activity

There is a new type of Internet piracy called "phishing". Phishing refers to thieves who are fishing for your personal financial information. They are trying to obtain your account numbers, passwords, Social Security number, and other confidential information.

We have been informed about phishing activity that could infect personal computers. If you see an unusual web page requesting personal information, DO NOT PROVIDE YOUR INFORMATION. Update & run anti-virus protection software immediately to protect yourself.

For more information on phishing and how to protect yourself against identity theft, please visit the website of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) at http://www.occ.gov/Consumer/phishing.htm.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact us or call (203) 462-4400.
