Scams continue to be an issue locally.

Connie Miller with DeWitt Savings Bank in Clinton says the old, tried-and-true scams continue to be an issue. One you may encounter at the gas pump is called the skimming scam.

According to Miller, diligence in checking your accounts is the number one way to make sure your banking information has not been compromised. Most institutions offer online banking of some sort, allowing you 24/7 access to your transactions.

Miller points out many institutions will also offer fraud alert notifications. If a transaction takes place on your card that could be suspicious, there are algorithms in place to catch those and notify you to confirm the purchase.
