During the holiday season, there is a higher volume of fraudulent activity. One of the most common scams is the Romance Scam, and it can result in great financial and emotional damage for the victim. The goal of the fraudster is to gain the victim’s trust using a fake identity. Over a period of time, the scammer will have an online relationship with the victim, usually via social media or dating sites. At first, the scammer will act very interested in the victim. Then they will ask the victim for financial help, either due to an illness, accident, job loss, family emergency, or a frozen bank account. Once the victim sends a small amount of money, the scammer will ask for larger amounts and become very demanding. When talking to someone online, it is a good idea to verify the person’s identity to ensure they really are who they say they are. Never send money to someone you met online, especially if you have never met them in person. In recognition of International Fraud Awareness Week, we are bringing attention to the most prevalent scams to help you recognize the signs and protect yourself and your finances.

The Houston Business Journal recently featured our Houston Region Chairman Daniel Schroder discussing the pilot launch of PlainsCapital Bank’s Momentum Express Loan! “Houston is an ‘ideal market’ for the rollout of the Momentum Express product due to its small-business environment,” Schroder said, “that includes a lot of industrial and manufacturing businesses supporting Port Houston, the airports and the energy industry, which might need access to capital quickly to purchase new equipment or bring on extra personnel.” To read the full article, click here: https://lnkd.in/gJhnaQwB #PlainsCapitalBank #HoustonBusinessJournal #SmallBusinessLoan

As the holiday season approaches, the risk of bank fraud grows for consumers. Be wary of unsolicited calls, texts, or emails that claim to come from your bank or other institutions. This is a common tactic of the Imposter Scam. The goal of this scam is to obtain sensitive information about you and your financial accounts by asking you to “verify” your information. It is very important that you do not give your account or personal information to anyone over the phone or text or email, unless you are sure who you are speaking with. If you suspect that you are talking to a scammer or are suspicious of the conversation, the best action to take is to hang up and stop replying. You can always call your bank directly at a phone number you locate on their website, if the contact was regarding possible fraudulent?activity, ask to be transferred to the Fraud department. If you think you may have given sensitive information to a fraudster, report the incident to your bank or financial institution right away.
