Dieterich Bank Alerting Customers About Fraudulent Activity

Dieterich Bank is being proactive in an effort to keep their customers from falling for a scam.

• This fraudulent attack begins with a text message asking if you made a transaction at a business and requests that you respond with Yes or No.
• You will then receive a phone call from what appears to be the bank’s phone number, but it is not a bank representative on the phone.
• They will then ask for your debit card information and other secure account information. 
• Providing information could result in fraudulent activity on your account.
• These calls usually target a specific bank and then call all residents in that area, not knowing if they are customers of that bank but hoping to get as many responses as possible.

• Dieterich Bank will not call you asking for the last 4 digits of your card.
• Our fraud department will not call from our (800) 699-9766 phone number.
• Our fraud department will not identify themselves as the First National Bank of Dieterich.
