Great advice!

Bank fraud is a growing problem and something we all need to be aware of, both for ourselves and loved ones.

So much so that the ABA has a (somewhat corny) website and ad campaign called "Banks Never Ask That"

https://www.banksneveraskthat.com

I'll add this:

Bank locally, at a bank or credit union that's headquartered in your State (or Province) and small enough that you can know them.

Keep the phone number of your local branch. Maybe even grab a business card from your local branch manager, so you have a name.

Beyond branches, local banks have local 'Operation Centers' that manage and process the back end of your banking transactions - They're staffed with friendly people who can help you. Have those 'call center' numbers handy, too.

Use online banking safely and monitor your accounts regularly.

Be careful out there!
