Identity thieves wearing banking masks
Published March 4, 2008 by CSBJ Staff
A number of bogus bank sites are popping up on the Web, seeking to steal identity information.
Representatives from BauerFinancial Inc. say consumers can visit their Web site to confirm a bank’s legitimacy or call the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at (877) 275-3342.
For credit union verification, visit the National Credit Union Administration.
Experts also say consumers should look for “https” before a Web address, which indicates a secure server, when doing business online.
