Internet thieves send fake e-mail messages
and / or set up fake web sites that mimic those of reputable, trusted
companies. They do this to get information like credit card numbers,
passwords, account information, or other personal information from
you by convincing you to give it to them under false pretences.
You should be concerned if you receive an e-mail that appears
to come from 1st Source that has some of the characteristics listed
below. We will never send you an e-mail with any of the following:
- Online fraudsters typically include upsetting or exciting
(but false) statements in their e-mails to get people to react
immediately. They may indicate there is an issue with your account and
then communicate a sense of urgency. Some examples include:
- Your online access or your account will be closed or
locked if you don't act immediately.
- You are informed you have had fraudulent activity on
your account and you need to respond immediately
-
The e-mail refers to you generically. Example: "Dear Customer" or "Dear
Valued Partner."
- The e-mail offers forms that you should fill out with
your personal information.
- You are instructed to click on a link within the e-mail
that directs you to a web site that looks like the 1st Source
web site, however
the web address in the browser is not http://www.1stsource.com/
or https:/www.1stsource.com/. The web site then asks
you for sensitive account information such as account numbers,
passwords, social
security numbers, etc.
If you have received an e-mail that looks suspicious and has
some of the characteristics listed above please
report it as
soon as
possible. After you provide us with details, you
will receive immediate information on the next steps
you should take.
