Protect Yourself: Latest Scam Alerts
This page highlights the latest scam alerts and fraud warnings to help you stay informed and protect your financial well‑being. We regularly update this information as new scams emerge.
2/9/2026 - Tap-2-Pay Scam Alert
Scammers are approaching individuals in public locations requesting small donations for gunshot victims or funeral expenses using PayPal, Square, or tap‑to‑pay devices. While requesting small amounts, they instead enter a larger amount on their device.
Protect yourself by never allowing strangers to handle your phone or cards, avoiding tap‑to‑pay with unknown individuals, and verifying legitimate solicitations through official websites.
If you believe you were affected, contact First State Bank immediately at 800-994-2500 and report the incident to local law enforcement.
2/3/2026 - Nacha Spoofing Call (Business customers only)
Fraudulent phone calls have been reported from individuals falsely claiming to represent Nacha. These scammers are targeting organizations that originate ACH payments, stating they need to review your current ACH files and may offer to send you a website link to collect information.
Please remember Nacha will never contact you directly to ask to review ACH files in this manner. Follow your organization’s data and cybersecurity policies regarding sharing sensitive information or credentials and clicking on links provided by unknown callers or emailers.
For questions or concerns, please contact Anna Flahaut at 715-303-1042 or email treasurymanagement@bankfirststate.com.
