Fraud Trends
Protecting our customers is our top priority. We are constantly monitoring your debit card transactions for purchases outside your normal purchasing patterns or purchases that are consistent with previously identified fraud trends.
Scammers
Scammers use many tactics to sound and appear credible. They sometimes provide information like badge numbers, names of actual law enforcement officials and federal judges, and courthouse addresses.
Phishing Schemes
At Greenfield Savings Bank, we take pride in our commitment to our customers, and we are therefore alerting you to be aware of these potentially dangerous schemes.
Credit Reporting Agencies
One of the most influential factors in obtaining a loan is your credit score. Building a good credit score and protecting it can help you qualify for the best rates whenever you apply for any type of credit.
Consumers can receive a free copy of your credit reports annually by contacting each of the credit reporting agencies listed below.
If you use GSB's Online Banking or Mobile Banking, you may also obtain your credit score and credit report for FREE, any time, through the GSB CreditCenter.Corporate Account Takeover (CATO)
Simply put, corporate account takeover is the business equivalent of personal identity theft. Hackers, backed by professional criminal organizations, are targeting small and medium businesses to obtain access to their web banking credentials or remove control of their computers. These hackers will then drain the deposit and credit lines of the compromised bank accounts, funneling the funds through mules that quickly redirect the monies overseas into hackers’ accounts.
