On Friday, May 29th, Peter Bakkala and Cassie Keegan of Needham Bank presented a webinar on small business fraud prevention in partnership with the Newton Needham Regional Chamber. Over 40 chamber members joined the presentation to learn more about the rise in fraud during the COVID-19 pandemic, how businesses can protect themselves, and what to do if your business falls victim to fraud.
We’ve been made aware of fraudsters impersonating Needham Bank asking customers to verify fake transactions. The fraudsters will ask if you’ve made purchases at major retailers, withdrawn money from an ATM, or if you are traveling. Needham Bank will NEVER ask for your banking credentials or full debit card number via a phone call, email, or text message.
If you’ve received an inquiry of this nature and provided information, please contact our Customer Care Center at 781-444-2100.
