Phishing
Phishing is one of the latest and most prevalent forms of online fraud. This scam uses spam (unsolicited e-mail) to bait consumers into disclosing sensitive personal information—such as social security numbers, account and routing numbers, credit card numbers, personal identification numbers, passwords, and other private data.

Continental Bank will never ask for you to send personal or financial information by, in response to, or via a link in an Email. If you suspect you've received a fraudulent Email, DO NOT RESPOND TO THE EMAIL! Please contact us as soon as possible.
