Community First Bank of Indiana (CFB) has joined the industry-wide #BanksNeverAskThat campaign, in partnership with the American Bankers Association, to protect consumers during National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
This campaign seeks to educate consumers about the persistent threat of phishing scams. The Federal Trade Commission estimates that consumers lost $3.3 billion to phishing schemes and other fraud in 2020, nearly double the losses in 2019. To combat phishing, the #BanksNeverAskThat campaign uses attention-grabbing humor and other engaging content to empower consumers to identify bogus bank communications asking for sensitive information like their passwords and social security numbers.

“Throughout the month of October, Community First Bank will be sharing engaging and quick tips on our social media platforms and website,” said Lainey Schroer, Marketing/Communications Manager for Community First Bank. “We’re excited about this campaign because it is designed to be bright and bold with a bit of comedy, and we’re hoping this can bring new attention to cybersecurity education and fraud awareness. Find us as ‘Community First Bank of Indiana’ on Facebook, @CFBindiana on Instagram, and online at CFBindiana.com.”
