Fraudsters are calling Alaskans claiming to be First National fraud department representatives. The scammers claim the customer’s card cannot be used until the cardholder’s identity is verified. If you receive a suspicious call, hang up immediately and call your local bank to report the incident.
First National and other legitimate financial institutions will never call to ask a customer for login information or for the three-digit code on the back of a card. Legitimate calls do not lead with “your card cannot be used until you verify your identity,” which is a sure sign of a scam. Stay vigilant and share this information with fellow Alaskans to help keep others safe from this scam attempt.
