Scam artists pretending to be bank examiners or bank employees from your personal bank are targeting Mesa area seniors and asking them for personal information and cash.
Your bank will not call and ask you for your personal information, debit card number, bank account number or ask you to give cash to anyone.
If you are contacted by one of these scammers, verify the caller.
Before following any instructions given to you by the caller, write down the phone number if you have caller ID. Hang up and immediately dial *57 (star 57). This will record the last incoming telephone number. Note the date and time. Then call your bank to verify the caller. Use only the phone number provided on your bank statement, not the number provided by the caller.
If you feel you have been the victim of a scam, please call the Mesa Police Department at (480) 644-2211.
