Is that message really from your bank?

Phishing emails and texts often tell a story, to trick you into clicking a link or opening an attachment.

The goal is your passwords, account numbers, or Social Security number.

Protect your accounts with multi-factor authentication.

And report it at Report Fraud.FTC.gov.
