Is it legit or a scam? Let’s take a test and find out.
Throughout the month of October, the American Bankers Association has fought back against phishing scams with its annual #BanksNeverAskThat campaign. It’s all part of a month-long awareness campaign. Once again, Regions Bank is proud to participate in this effort to educate our customers and the public. It’s part of our year-round efforts to help keep you safe.
Phishing is big business, producing $16 billion in losses from Americans in 2024, a substantial increase over the year before according to the ABA.
