Bank Scammers Working Local Accounts: Be Aware

Antwerp Exchange BankNotice to all Antwerp Exchange Bank customers: We were notified this past Saturday night (October 25th) that a number of individuals in the area were receiving a cell phone text, stating that our customers’ VISA debit cards had been frozen. (Our bank was not the only one affected.) The notice included directions to respond to a specific cell phone number. The recipient was then advised to provide debit card number, expiration date, the three-digit number on the back of the card, as well as the PIN number. This is a SCAM, as AEB will never ask for this information. If you responded by providing this information, please contact AEB immediately.

Please be advised that our database has NOT been compromised, and that we continually strive to protect the privacy and safety of our valued customers’ information.

Sincerely,

John Kobee

SVP/CFO
