Please share! We have another scam coming around.

‼️ 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗴𝗼 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 - 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗺! ‼️Did you receive a message that looks like this? Yup, another scam message saying pay up or you'll be fined & your license suspended! Don't go to the website & don't send money. Scammers will often use urgency - react immediately or face the consequences - to get victims to react before they have a chance to think it through or talk to someone. Take a breath & always take the time to confirm a situation before acting, no matter how much you are being pressured to act immediately. Look up a phone number (NEVER just call the number that texted you or one listed in the message) & ASK them before doing anything. And remember, important notices like court summons, collection notices, fines, etc. will rarely come by text or email.

Stop fraud before it starts! Protect your business with these quick tips:

➡️ Confirm Verbally: Call a known contact to verify any changes to payment info.
➡️ Double Up: Use Dual Control to require two people for every transfer.
➡️ Stay Alert: Be wary of last-minute changes or high-pressure "urgency".

There is a fraud alert from Bath Savings!

Business customers: We have received multiple reports of business customers receiving a call from someone identifying themselves as an employee of Bath Savings. The caller claims there is fraudulent activity on the customer’s account and asks them to verify ACH transactions. It appears that the bank’s number (1‑800‑447‑4559) has been spoofed.

We will never call you and ask for your full account number, SSN, debit card number, or PIN. NEVER share your log-in credentials or account numbers over the phone. If you receive a call from someone claiming to be from Bath Savings, please hang up and contact us directly at 800-447-4559 or [email protected].
