Be on the look out for these common fraud tactics!
Gift Card Scam
Scammers often ask for payment in gift cards. No legitimate business or government agency will request payment via gift cards.
Celebrity Investment Scam
Scammers often impersonate well-known celebrities. They will attempt to build a relationship with you before asking for an investment.
Romance Scam
Scammers use fake profiles to lie their way into your heart. A good rule of thumb is to never send money to anyone you haven’t met in person.
Good Password Etiquette
Pacific Crest will never ask for your online banking password. Setting a secure password will help keep your account secure.
Crypto Scams
Scammers may ask you to deposit cash into a crypto ATM. No legitimate business or government agency will request payment via cryptocurrency.
