Protect Your Account from Fake Text Message Scams

There is a scam that is impacting bank accounts nationwide. Scammers are impersonating banks with realistic messages that look legitimate and may trick you into revealing sensitive information. Even careful and experienced customers are being targeted.

 

What This Scam Is

Scammers send fake messages by text, email, or phone that appear to come from Lexicon Bank. These messages may warn of a problem with your account and direct you to click a link, call a number, or provide information that could allow fraudsters to access your account.

 

How the Scam Works

  • You receive a message that appears to be from Lexicon Bank.
  • The message warns of “urgent” account issues or unusual activity.
  • The scam prompts you to click a link, call a number, or enter login details.
  • Scammers use this information to access your account and withdraw funds.
