Fraud Prevention

How to Safeguard your Identity

About 500,000 people a year are victims of identity theft, a fast-growing form of fraud that involves criminals stealing personal information and using it to apply for credit in the victims name. Likewise, criminals continue to employ phishing, where they create a replica of a legitimate website to trick someone into submitting personal, financial or password data and then send emails directing people to these fake web sites. While some emails are clearly dubious, others may appear to be from a legitimate email address. However, dont rely on the name or address in the From field because this can be easily altered.
First National Bank and Trust Company never sends emails requiring customers to send personal information to us through email or a website. Unsolicited requests for First National account information should be reported immediately.
