Susquehanna Bank Issues Email Scam Alert

Susquehanna Bank, based in Pennsylvania, has issued a scam alert to all of its customers. Customers have been receiving phishing emails that purport to come from the bank but are really attempts to secure the customers personal and confidential information. The bank also warns that clicking on any links may compromise your computer's security. Here's the news release from their website:

Susquehanna Bank is warning consumers about a phishing scam in which fraudulent emails claim that the customer’s account has been suspended and they must go to a website to update their information so it can be unlocked. These are not legitimate emails from the bank, and consumers should not click on any links in these emails or respond with any confidential financial or other information. The emails are part of a phishing scam, in which criminals try to trick people into divulging their confidential information. Clicking on a link could expose a computer to malicious software that could track keystrokes, potentially giving the scammers private information such as account passwords. If you receive a suspicious email, you can notify us by emailing reportfraud@susquehanna.net.
