Bank Card Scam Asking for Number and Pin

LONGVIEW — Texas Bank and Trust is alerting its customers of a scam that has been making its way around East Texas. According to our news partner KETK, reports have been made to the bank that fraudulent text messages are being sent to customers saying that their debit card is locked and asks you to call a number to fix it. The number then asks you to enter your card number and PIN. Texas Bank and Trust said they will “NEVER ask you to enter your card number and PIN!”

They instruct customers that get that text to contact their customer service numbers at 1.800.263.7013 or 903.237.5500. You can confirm the status of your debit card by utilizing the “Manage Cards” feature within your Online Banking or Mobile Banking.
