Automated calls to area residents are scams;
not from local bank
The Northeast office of the Better Business Bureau received information on a scam targeting residents in the Albertville area. An automated calls tells the resident that their account at a local bank has been closed and in order to re-activate, they need to dial a phone number that is provided. When the number is dialed, further questions are asked. The BBB warns that banks do not contact their customers this way and they already have the information they need. If you are concerned, call the bank yourself and not the phone number provided. According to the BBB, this is very likely an attempt to steal your identification, and you are warned to guard your personal information.
