Telephone Scam Alert

Telephone scammers are targeting debit & credit card holders in the Cedar Rapids & Des Moines areas.

The following is a summary of the scam:
•Most of the calls have been coming from a number that is all zeros.

•A recording will tell you that your debit or credit card has been blocked, cancelled, compromised or your rate has been changed.

•Then you will be instructed to "press 1" and enter your full 16-digit account number for further assistance.

THIS IS A SCAM!

If you receive a telephone call similar to this, please hang up!

TIPS TO AVOID SCAMS

•Never give your card or account information to an unknown caller.
•The only time it's okay to share your card or account information is when you initiated the call AND you called a familiar number or a number listed on the back of your card(s).
