Important Message: To Our Valued Customers

We hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and well in the wake of the recent hurricane. During these challenging times, it’s crucial to remain vigilant against an unfortunate reality: scammers often try to take advantage of people after natural disasters.

Be on the lookout for the following types of scams:

1. Phony Charities and Donation Requests: Scammers may pose as legitimate organizations seeking donations for hurricane relief efforts. Always verify the authenticity of a charity before donating.
2. Disaster-Related Fraud Calls or Emails: Fraudsters might impersonate your insurance company, government agencies, or even our bank to obtain personal information. Remember, we will never ask for sensitive data like your account number or Social Security number through phone calls, emails, or text messages.
3. Fake Home Repair or Utility Services: Avoid making upfront payments or signing contracts without verifying credentials. Always work with reputable service providers.

How You Can Protect Yourself:

• Verify Before Donating or Hiring: Research charities, contractors, or repair services before making any commitments.
• Never Share Sensitive Information: Do not share personal or financial details with anyone who contacts you unexpectedly.
• Contact Us Directly: If you receive suspicious communications that claim to be from our bank, do not engage. Instead, call us directly at any of the numbers listed or visit one of our branch locations.

Your security is our top priority. If you suspect any fraudulent activity or have concerns, please feel free to reach out to our team immediately.

Thank you for banking with Lafayette State Bank!
