Protect Yourself from Rising Scam Attempts

Targeted attempts to steal your sensitive data, including account credentials, personal details, and financial information are on the rise. Scammers are becoming more sophisticated, often using spoofed or compromised accounts to impersonate trusted sources, including BOS.

These fraudulent messages may come in the form of emails, texts, or phone calls that appear legitimate. That’s why it’s critical to always call us directly using a trusted number before interacting with any unexpected communication claiming to be from BOS.


Beware of Imposters Asking You to Download an App

Be on alert for fraudsters pretending to be BOS employees asking you to download a mobile phone app. Only download the BOS Mobile App from official app stores. If someone pressures you to download a different or unfamiliar app, hang up immediately and contact us at a known number.


How You Can Better Protect Yourself from Scams

At BOS, we are committed to keeping your personal and financial information safe. But protecting yourself from fraud is a shared responsibility. Here are some important tips to help you stay secure:

  • Never give out personal information, including your Social Security number, account details, or debit card number.
  • Never share your verification codes, online banking credentials, or passwords, even with someone who claims to be from BOS.
  • If you are asked to download an unfamiliar app, hang up and call BOS directly at a number you know and trust.
  • Review your account activity and statements regularly to spot suspicious transactions early.
  • Set up online and mobile banking alerts to receive real-time notifications about account activity.
