Montgomery Bank is warning residents of a phishing scam involving the bank's name.
The scam involves sending an automated telephone message to mobile phones stating there is a problem with the consumer's debit or credit card and requests that the consumer respond by calling a telephone number and leaving a message with debit/credit card number, PIN, Social Security number, account number and other information that can be used to make fraudulent transactions on the consumer's account.
Montgomery Bank is not generating these calls.
The bank is inviting anyone who has received calls of this nature to call the Montgomery Bank Customer Service Center at 800-455-2275 or contact a local Montgomery Bank branch representative.
