Scammers are sending fake emails and texts that look surprisingly real. These messages often include official logos, familiar sender names, and urgent warnings that your account is at risk. Their goal is to trick you into clicking on dangerous links or sharing personal information. Be on the lookout for signs of a scam. Watch for links with unusual characters, typos or awkward language in the message, and urgent alerts claiming your account is locked. These are common tactics used to create a sense of panic and get you to act quickly without thinking. Trust your gut: if something doesn’t seem […]

Did a Random Number Just Invite You Over for Pot Roast? It’s a Scam
You’re going about your day when your phone buzzes with a new message: “Are you still coming over for pot roast tonight?” You pause. Pot roast sounds great, but you don’t recognize the number (or remember making any dinner plans). Instead of ignoring it, you reply, “Who is this?” That’s exactly what scammers are hoping for. These seemingly friendly, accidental invitations are a common trick to get you to engage. Scammers may try to keep the conversation going, gradually building trust before asking for money, pitching fake investment opportunities or sending malicious links. They might also try to collect personal […]
Beware of AI Voice Scams
Scammers are now using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology to mimic the voices of loved ones or other contacts you know and trust, such as your local banker.

They often stress urgency and confidentiality to get you to act quickly and without discussing the details with your family, bank or local law enforcement. If you receive a suspicious call that claims to be from MVSB, it’s important to act quickly and protect yourself. Hang up immediately and do not engage […]
