Thieves pose as bank employees
Keep your eyes open for a credit card scam recently identified in many southern states. People
dressed in business attire and posing as Bank of America
employees have been targeting college campuses, inviting staff
and students to fill out credit card applications. If you fill
out an application and return it to these individuals, they
can use your confidential information to apply for a credit
card in your name. On receiving the card, the imposters
charge purchases up to the maximum credit limit, leaving the
debt in your name.
In some cases, they have even been known to make
minimum payments to keep the card active as long as they can.
If you submit an application for credit, make
sure to mail it directly to the issuing institution or hand
deliver the application to a local bank branch.
All
employees should contact security when they observe suspicious
individuals. Solicitation on campus is not permitted.
