An increasing number of Heritage Finance Holdings members are receiving unsolicited scam phone calls from people claiming to be from ‘your bank’ in an attempt to steal funds. This scam is catching some of our most vulnerable members, which can include the elderly, off guard so we encourage you to share this with your loved ones.
The caller may claim there are unusual transactions on your credit/debit card and ask you to confirm the first 4 – 6 digits on the card. At this time, they will claim to be from Heritage Finance Holdings and ask for your help to investigate the transactions.
Members who agree to this are then asked to withdraw funds from their account and are then directed to a money remitter or other financial institution.
If a member hesitates to agree, they are told they will receive a call back at a certain time. They are also instructed NOT to talk to their bank or family or give any details of the call or why they are withdrawing cash.
If you have provided sensitive information, it’s very important you change ALL your Heritage Finance Holdings Online passwords and call us immediately on 13 14 22. If a scammer has accessed your computer remotely you should have your computer professionally cleaned by a reputable technician to ensure there is no malware on your system.
