Enid... A Scammers Paradise?
Come on Enid. I don't know why but the scammers are heavily targeting Enid and Central National Bank right now. The fact that these people continue these scams must lead us to believe that folks are falling for them. Here's some facts...
1. If it's too good to be true, it is!!
2. If a business contacts you for a password or pin over the phone or Internet, it's a scam!
Here's a fun email I just received this morning. It said the email was sent from Central National Bank of Enid:
Subject Line: Survey Congratulations!

(Um, this actual link does not begin with https which is a secure site plus it's not a cnb-ok.com address. (clue, clue, clue!))

I did actually click on the link and a page matching the CNB site showed up. But if you look at the address bar you can see that it is not a CNB address. They had 9 quick questions and then wanted my debit card number, expiration date and pin. I tried to fill in a fake one but it would not let me.
There is also currently a cell phone scam going on. Enid Police have reported dozens of calls from people who received cellular phone text messages stating their Central National Bank account had been frozen and they give a number to call. Please look the CNB number up (233-3535) in the phone book and call them first.
Please people, think! If you don't feel right about something hang up or leave the Internet and call the actual number of your bank or business and ask them if they are needing your info.

Not only is Enid Scammers Paradise but seems to be Bank Robbers Paradise also. Has anyone noticed?
I got that CNB text message on my phone last week. I don't have a CNB account and I figured if I did, they wouldn't be notifying me by text message that there was a problem. LOL.
I don't think it is just Enid America that scammers are attacking. This is all over. In my business, I receive at least 3 to 4 email or phone calls that are scammers. They want to buy my procuct, and want to send a cashiers check, or money order, over the amount and send their own shippers. And I dont live in Enid anymore.
