Warning to F&M Online Banking and DirectConnect clients -
A new security threat has emerged which advises online banking clients that new ‘security checks’ must be performed followed by a series of notifications claiming a representative of the bank will assist in an online chat session to avoid a lockout. The online chat session then requests sensitive information such as names, passwords, and other banking credentials. Please contact F&M Bank if you see this behavior during online banking sessions with F&M Bank. Do not respond to online chat requests for sensitive information. F&M Bank does not use online chat to perform security checks and does not use online chat to request any online banking information from F&M customers.
