Protect Your Bank Account: Check for Impostor Mistakes on Your iPhone or Android Now.

Smartphone owners are being warned about a dangerous "impostor" scam that can wipe out their bank accounts. Scammers may pose as businesses or people you know, like your bank, utility company, phone provider, or even a friend or relative, and ask you to send funds to yourself or others using online or mobile banking. Banks will sometimes send you texts to check up on unusual activity, but they would never ask you to send money using Zelle to anyone. Phone owners are advised to verify that they're speaking to a trusted recipient and never share any codes under any circumstances.
