Bank of Edmonson Warns of New Standard Mail Scam

Darren Doyle, story:
Instead of working a real job like you, scammers continue to try stealing your hard-earned income by new means everyday, and the Bank of Edmonson County is warning of a new tactic that reverts to older methods like the good 'ol U.S. mail.

According to Bank of Edmonson CEO Michelle Coleman, one resident received what appeared to be a legitimate document from the Bank about the recipient's mortgage but with vague or threatening language.

"The attached was received by a local resident customer who does not have an active mortgage," said Coleman. "We urge local residents DO NOT call this number and do not attempt to sign this document.  The scammers would likely ask for your bank account information, and this is a scam. There is no affiliation with Bank of Edmonson County whatsoever. The mailing notes that at the bottom in the fine print but this is not a legitimate mailing and should be shredded."

 

Any of the three Bank of Edmonson branch locations can be reached by calling their main office number at 270-597-2175.

"As always, we are here to help and if the community ever has anything they have questions or concerns about, please visit our locations at Brownsville, Bowling Green, or Smiths Grove, or give us a call," Coleman added.
