contacting BayCoast Bank customers in an attempt to obtain sensitive information related to their debit card or Online Banking login. Fraudsters are spoofing the BayCoast Bank phone number and impersonating BayCoast Bank employees, claiming they are calling to alert customers of \u201cfraud\u201d on their account. Fraudsters then instruct the customer to surrender their actual, physical debit card, (by leaving it in the mailbox or offering to come and pick the card up) or to share their online banking login information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you receive any unsolicited phone calls, text messages, or emails claiming to be from BayCoast Bank, requesting any private financial information, do not respond and do not share any details.<\/strong> Please stop communication immediately and report the incident to BayCoast Bank by calling 508-678-7641 or visiting your nearest branch.

Scammers often avoid providing specific details like the name of a hospital or police station. Legitimate organizations follow clear procedures and will not pressure you for immediate payment. If a specific organization is mentioned, independently look up and call their official number to verify the claim.<br><br>Experts also recommend setting up a <strong>code word or \u201csafe word\u201d<\/strong> among family members. This simple precaution can help confirm identities and protect against deception.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk--is-open stk-block stk-4f5bc7f stk-block-background\" open data-block-id=\"4f5bc7f\"><style>.stk-4f5bc7f {background-color:#FFFFFF !important;box-shadow:0 5px 30px -10px #123f524d !important;padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;}.stk-4f5bc7f:before{background-color:#FFFFFF !important;}<\/style>\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-081aca6 stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"081aca6\"><style>.stk-081aca6 {padding-top:8px !important;padding-right:32px !important;padding-bottom:8px !important;padding-left:32px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-081aca6-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-081aca6-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-d939f8f\" data-block-id=\"d939f8f\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-7050ec8\" data-block-id=\"7050ec8\"><style>.stk-7050ec8 .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child, .stk-7050ec8 .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g, path, rect, polygon, ellipse){fill:#cf2e2e !important;}<\/style><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper stk--has-icon2\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-7050ec8\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-7050-ec-8-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-7050-ec-8-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path d=\"M569.517 440.013C587.975 472.007 564.806 512 527.94 512H48.054c-36.937 0-59.999-40.055-41.577-71.987L246.423 23.985c18.467-32.009 64.72-31.951 83.154 0l239.94 416.028zM288 354c-25.405 0-46 20.595-46 46s20.595 46 46 46 46-20.595 46-46-20.595-46-46-46zm-43.673-165.346l7.418 136c.347 6.364 5.609 11.346 11.982 11.346h48.546c6.373 0 11.635-4.982 11.982-11.346l7.418-136c.375-6.874-5.098-12.654-11.982-12.654h-63.383c-6.884 0-12.356 5.78-11.981 12.654z\"\/><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"stk--inner-svg stk--icon-2\" style=\"display:none\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-7050ec8\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-7050-ec-8-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-7050-ec-8-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path d=\"M569.517 440.013C587.975 472.007 564.806 512 527.94 512H48.054c-36.937 0-59.999-40.055-41.577-71.987L246.423 23.985c18.467-32.009 64.72-31.951 83.154 0l239.94 416.028zM288 354c-25.405 0-46 20.595-46 46s20.595 46 46 46 46-20.595 46-46-20.595-46-46-46zm-43.673-165.346l7.418 136c.347 6.364 5.609 11.346 11.982 11.346h48.546c6.373 0 11.635-4.982 11.982-11.346l7.418-136c.375-6.874-5.098-12.654-11.982-12.654h-63.383c-6.884 0-12.356 5.78-11.981 12.654z\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-3f702c4\" id=\"occ-recently-disclosed-a-cybersecurity-incident\" data-block-id=\"3f702c4\"><style>.stk-3f702c4 .stk-block-heading__text{color:#cf2e2e !important;}<\/style><h4 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-color\">OCC Recently Disclosed a Cybersecurity Incident<\/h4><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-7c66b80 stk-block-accordion__content\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"7c66b80\"><style>.stk-7c66b80-container{padding-top:0px !important;padding-bottom:8px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-7c66b80-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-7c66b80-inner-blocks\">\n<p>Please stay vigilant when receiving communications from regulatory agencies.
