New Scam Alert. Please be aware that Security State Bank does not call our customers asking for your personal or bank account information. The Centralia Police Department sent out a New Scam Alert message as follows: Please be aware there is a new scam happening in the area where an individual is calling citizens and claiming they are from their local Banking Institution. The caller ID appears to show a local number. The person on the line is asking the customer to confirm their banking information (Name/Date of Birth/Address/Phone Number.) They are asking the customer to reply to a text message the scammer is sending them. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! We want to send out a reminder that banking institutions would NEVER call you and ask for your personal information. If you receive a call and question the validity of the person on the line, please hang-up and call your local branch back to confirm this is truly them. Stay diligent and protect your identity. (Centralia WA Police Department, February 28, 2020)
