* * Phishing scam hits Panhandle area * *
  

First National Bank has been alerted by our regulators of a new scam that has occurred in the Lubbock district.  This district includes the Texas Panhandle.  Thieves target a telephone prefix and use a computer to call random numbers.  The recording tells the person answering that there is a problem with their debit or ATM card issued by "first national bank".  The recording gives instructions to call a number to take care of the problem.  If a person calls the number they are asked for their card number and PIN.

Please remember these key facts:

  • No bank will ever ask for your PIN.
  • No bank will ever call and ask for your card number -  they already have it.
  • No bank will ever call and ask you for any other personal information.

There are cases where a bank may verify the last few digits of your card number over the telephone but this will always be when you have initiated the call in need of assistance.

If you are contacted in the manner described above please contact us immediately.

WARNING - FRAUDULENT CHECKS ISSUED ON FNB
  

Fraudulent "Official Checks" have been issued by unknown persons in an attempt to defraud innocent victims of money.

On Monday, December 31, 2007 persons around the country began receiving counterfeit official checks drawn on First National Bank, Spearman, TX.  These checks are accompanied by a letter from "Royalty Financial Investment Services" claiming the recipient has won a sweepstakes prize.  The intent of these criminals is to fool a victim in to cashing one of the fake checks and using the funds to purchase "sweepstake insurance".  When the check is returned the victim suffers the loss on the scam.
