Bangor Savings Bank is warning the public about a text-based phishing scam that has worked its way through Maine. The alert specifically asks the text recipient to contact Bangor Savings Bank at a specific number, which is not a Bangor Savings Bank phone number. It references an “alert” within the text message.  

Here is what the public needs to know: 

1.)   The Bank will never ask for your ATM/Debit Card information via phone, text or email so do not call the number in the text message.

2.)  If you are a Bangor Savings Bank customer and have given out personal information,  contact your local branch or Bangor Support (1.877.226.4671) or bangorsupport@bangor.com. If you are not a Bangor Savings Bank customer, contact your financial institution.

4.)    All Bangor Saving Bank customers receive free FraudWatch PLUS protection, a standard feature on all debit cards. This service provides 24/7 fraud monitoring protection.

 For any additional questions, contact Bangor Support at 1-877-226-4671.
