“Your bank account is under attack.”

That’s the line scammers are using to empty senior citizens’ life savings.

Police in Suffolk County, NY have issued a warning about a disturbing new fraud scheme targeting elderly residents:

👉 Con artists call seniors pretending to be from their bank

👉 They claim the senior’s cards are compromised and no longer work

👉 Then they offer to pick up the cards in person

👉 Victims unknowingly hand over their cards and PINs

👉 The scammers go straight to the ATM and drain their accounts

This is horrifying — and it’s happening right now.

🛑 Let’s be clear:

• No bank will ever send someone to your home to collect a card.
• No legitimate institution will ask for your PIN.
• If in doubt, hang up and call the number on the back of your card.

We all need to step up — talk to your parents, grandparents, and neighbors. These scams rely on fear, confusion, and isolation.

Cybersecurity isn’t just a corporate issue — it’s a community one.
