Fraud and Phishing Attacks: Be Aware, Be Prepared

At First Farmers Bank & Trust, your trust means everything to us. Recently, we’ve learned of fraudsters impersonating bank representatives and claiming there are unauthorized transactions on customer accounts. Their intent is simple: to capture sensitive information such as online banking credentials, account numbers, routing numbers, or MFA codes.

Here’s what you need to know:

• We will never call you to request your login details or MFA codes.
• If you receive a call that feels suspicious, end the call immediately and reach out to us directly at 800.371.3316.

Your security is our priority. Together, we can protect what matters most: our community and your financial well-being. Please share this message with friends and family to help keep others safe.

REMEMBER: Banking institutions will NEVER need you to provide your Digital Banking credentials to assist you or to deactivate your account. They will NEVER ask for a Secure Access Code to assist you with stopping a transaction or for confirmation that an account has been deactivated.


Thank you for choosing First Farmers Bank & Trust as your financial partner. We will continue to monitor this situation and keep our customers up-to-date on any further developments.

If you believe you may have interacted with and given access to a possible fraudster, please contact us right away at 1-800-371-3316.
Thank you again for your business.
