Scammers are always coming up with new ways to trick people into sending money to fake accounts.
Stay safe from a scam with these tips:
Only use trusted digital payment methods like online banking, mobile banking and Zelle® to move money.
Stay calm and don't rush to send a payment. Scammers use urgency to get you to send money without thinking it through.
If you receive an unsolicited payment request from a business you believe may be legitimate, don't respond until you contact the business about your account.
Never click a link in a text message or email from someone you don’t know.
When in doubt, play it safe. Don't respond, click links or make a payment. Remember, Ocean Bank will never ask you to send yourself money or call or email you requesting your personal or account information.
