@ava.vantage: Here's the pattern behind most bank scams: a message that says your account is locked, and you need to act now, and you shouldn't tell anyone. The urgency is the trick. Real banks give you time and never ask for secrecy. If you get a message like this, close it. Then call the number on the back of your card, not the number in the message. You'll know within a minute whether it's real. #scamalert #scamawareness #fraudprevention #bankscam #avavantage
