We’ve previously shared about employment scams, where fraudsters prey on victims looking for jobs. In a typical employment scam, the fraudster poses as an employer and sends the victim a check with instructions to deposit it into the victim's account, keeping a small portion of the check for themselves and wiring the remaining balance to another account. A few days later, the deposited check returns on the victim’s account (as a counterfeit, account closed, or other non-payment reason), leaving the victim responsible for the lost funds.

Nearly everyone has a familiar face come to mind after hearing the word cancer. Your mother, sister, grandfather, best friend, co-worker…the list goes on. A cancer diagnosis can often be the beginning of a long, costly, and painful journey for those affected. More than 5 years ago, we partnered with SCV’s Circle of Hope, Inc., a non-profit charity, through our Logix Community Stars foundation. Circle of Hope provides financial assistance to cancer patients in need and offers emotional support, while educating cancer patients and their families. Given their values and contribution to our branch communities, it made sense for us to support their efforts.
