#BewareOfHacks⁣

[elevateitnow]

Happy Tuesday friends and fans! 🤩Coming at you with an important public service announcement regarding bank fraud and security tips to help you reduce the risk if becoming a victim of this.⁣ ⁣ Our accounts have been hacked a total of three times this year. 😭The scary thing is that they are using our names, debit card & account numbers to open fraudulent accounts while we still had them. This made it more difficult to prove to the credit union that WE WERE NOT THE ONES that opened up these multiple other accounts. All of them were stock and bond places and one was a check cashing company. They even set up Venmo accounts.⁣ ⁣ 👉🏼Don’t let this happen to you! If you are logging into the let’s say Washington Gas or Novec or even your mortgage company – you are providing your information in another platform and these platforms are getting hacked all the time and that includes all YOUR bank information. 👉🏼The best thing you can do is set up your bill paying BEHIND your financial institution’s paywall. 🔒 When you do this, the institutions send out the payments on your behalf so they are safely going to the vendor you are looking to pay WITHOUT your personal or financial information. Plus, most of them offer this service for free.⁣ ⁣ The inconvenience we have suffered and the stress we had to deal with is not worth it when we could’ve been safer to begin with. Thieves are restless and every day get more sophisticated in the process.⁣ ⁣ 🔒Protect yourself and your financial well-being NOW.⁣ ⁣ Please feel free to ask any questions below. I will be happy to share our experience so that you don’t fall victim to bank fraud too.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #ProtectYourFinances⁣ #CyberSecurityTips⁣ #FinancialSafety⁣ #BewareOfHacks⁣
