Phishing is a common form of Internet fraud. A phishing email is one that is created by an unauthorized person to look like it is a legitimate email. The intent is to try to get you to provide personal, confidential information so it can be used for identity theft and financial fraud. At Guaranty Bank, we take safeguarding your privacy seriously. We will never request personal or confidential information from you by email.
Recently, you may have received an email which appears to be from Guaranty Bank. This fraudulent email asks you to login and provide your credit card number, verification number and PIN. We will never send you an email asking you for this information. Guaranty Bank did not initiate the email message. If you responded to the email and provided your log-in information, call us IMMEDIATELY at 1-800-288-8822. If you do not bank with Guaranty Bank, but responded to the email, by logging in your bank's information, notify your financial institution immediately.
