Stop. Confirm. Avoid Scams.

Watch out for scams to get your money. These scammers will attempt to manipulate people with fraudulent information and scare tactics. They will falsely claim to be family, friends, buyers/sellers, and a bank representative to get people to send them money.

We want to remind you that neither Zelle® nor Guaranty Bank & Trust NA provide a protection program for authorized payments. This means that if you use Zelle® to purchase an item and it doesn't arrive or is not what you expected, there is a possibility that you may not be able to recover your funds. As a precaution, we suggest that you only use Zelle® and third-party payment applications to transact with people you know and trust.

Protect yourself.

  • Don’t respond to unsolicited text messages or emails. Double check through independent means including contacting the party through other methods. Don’t trust the phone number or email address that they send.
  • Urgent requests are very common with scams. Don’t feel pressured to act immediately. Contact us directly if you are unsure or talk to a trusted friend or family member.
  • Never give anyone your login or password. A legitimate financial institution will NEVER ask you for this.
  • Scammers are able to spoof email addresses and phone numbers to make it appear that it is coming from a person or business you know. Be alert to vague messages and slight misspellings. Criminals engage with you by their communications to try and connect with you personally; they use this as a tactic to manipulate you into providing your personal information.

Impersonating a Financial Representative

“We found suspicious activity on your account. Call us at <fake number> to claim your refund by sending money to your own account.”

We will never request that you send money to yourself. If you are unsure, call our main number <put main number here> to speak to a representative in our Digital Banking Department.

Impersonating a Family Member

“Mom, I’m in trouble – please send me money now.”

Be skeptical, especially if this is coming from an unknown phone number or email address. Reach out to a trusted friend or family member if you are unsure. Also please know that you can always contact us at 1-888-572-9881 to discuss the message.

Always be skeptical of incoming messages. If you think that you have been targeted and are unsure how to respond, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.
