These fake websites trick consumers into divulging financial and personal data, such as their usernames and passwords. ScamAssist provides your customers the tools and resources to help give them peace of mind before clicking on links in suspicious communications they’ve received.

Flyers or Postal

ScamAssist provides consumers tips and best practices to help them spot common warning signs and mitigate their risk of fraud.

Phone Calls
or Voicemails
