Review current security reminders and the types of scams financial clients should be prepared to recognize.
Security guidance
Attack methods evolve, but many scams use the same underlying tactics: impersonation, urgency, fear, secrecy and requests for sensitive information or irreversible payments.
Phishing and fake websites
Inspect website addresses carefully, avoid clicking unexpected links and navigate directly to trusted sites when signing in or entering financial information.
Investment and recovery scams
Be skeptical of guaranteed returns, pressure to move quickly, requests for cryptocurrency payments or offers to recover previously lost money for an upfront fee.
Business email compromise
Businesses should independently verify changes to invoices, bank details and payment instructions—especially when the request is urgent or unusual.
