3 Types of Imposters to Watch Out For

1. Family Imposters

Before sending any money to family members, always call your relative to confirm with them that they are actually the one receiving the money. 

2. Financial Imposters

Don’t share access codes or PINs with anyone. Your bank or the government will never ask you for this information. 

As a reminder, Coastal will never ask you for this information: 

• Full 16-digit account numbers or full Social Security numbers
• Usernames and passwords
• One-time security codes

If anyone asks you for this information, do not provide it to them, and make sure to report it immediately. 

3. Refund Imposters

Never send money to anyone claiming to be from companies asking for payment or offering a refund for something you didn’t order.
