BEWARE OF SCAMS
At Piedmont Advantage, we will never ask you to share sensitive information over the phone or by email without your request. Beware of all solicitations asking for your passwords, PINs and checking and credit card account information. If this were to occur, go to FTC.gov to report immediately. Tips to protect yourself from fraudsters:
- Remember, we will never call you asking for personal account information.
- If someone claims to transfer you to PACU, hang up and call us yourself, 800.433.7228.
- If you receive a letter, text or email claiming that you may be a victim of fraud, be cautious and call us yourself, 800.433.7228, to verify that the communication is valid.
- Do not click on links unless you initiated the request.
- Reputable employers will never send a new hire a check with instruction to return the funds as part of the job.
- Be leery of anyone trying to befriend you that you have not met in person.
- If the story does not make sense, it’s likely fraud.
