AMSCOT PHISHING ALERT

Amscot customers are currently experiencing an increase in fraud schemes known as "phishing." While phishing has typically been associated with unsolicited emails, the new scams are using a combination of phone messages and toll-free numbers in their attempts to steal valuable personal and financial information from unaware consumers.

To help ensure that you do not become a victim of this fraud, please follow the
instructions below:

• If you receive a phone call or an email claiming to be from Amscot asking you to log in to a site other than amscot.com, please do not log in to the site. 
  
• Never respond to unsolicited emails containing links, nor to emails asking you to verify account or personal information or email asking you to reactivate a service. 
  
• Never respond to a phone call or voice mail service asking you to verify account information or reactivate an Amscot Prepaid MasterCard®.
  Amscot customer service will never verbally ask you to verify your information on the phone using your Amscot Card personal identification number (PIN).
