FIRST CLOVER LEAF FINANCIAL CORP. 
By We have become aware of automated calls being received in our area claiming to alert the recipient of security issues with their account.
These calls are used to obtain personal information that can be used to perpetrate fraudulent activity.
Do not respond to any unsolicited messages received by phone, text or email asking for personal information.
We will not contact you and ask for Non-Public Information.
Here are additional tips to be aware of:
Never give out your personal financial information in response to an unsolicited phone call, fax or email, no matter how official it may seem.
Do not respond to email that may warn of dire consequences if you do not validate your information immediately. Contact the company to confirm the email's validity using a telephone number or website you know to be genuine. Clicking on a link could give a criminal access to your personal information.
Check your credit card and bank account statements regularly and look for unauthorized transactions, even small ones. Some thieves hope small transactions will go unnoticed. Report discrepancies immediately.
When submitting financial information on a website, look for the padlock or key icon at the top or bottom of your browser, and make sure the Internet address begins with "https." This signals that your information is secure during transmission.
Report suspicious activity to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, a partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center at http://www.ic3.gov.
If you have responded to an email or phone call, contact us immediately, so we can protect your account and your identity.
