Do you have what it takes to be a Scam Slayer

Nearly 3 in 4 Americans have experienced a scam or fraud attempt*. Every day, thousands of people fall victim to fraudulent emails, texts and calls from scammers pretending to be their bank, a loved one, the government or law enforcement. In fact, Americans lost an estimated $68 billion to scams last year**.

At Traditional Bank, we're committed to helping you spot - and slay scams. We've joined the American Bankers Association and banks across the country in a nationwide effort to put criminals on notice and give you the power to protect your information and your money.

We're here to help you become a Scam Slayer: An everyday hero who knows that the best defense against a scam is knowing what to look for and what your bank will never ask.

Here are 6 signs of a scam, and the power moves Scam Slayers use to protect themselves:

1. You're pressured to open a link - Block!
   
2. You're called out of the blue and asked not to tell anyone - Hang up!
