Maine’s Bureau of Financial Institutions issued a warning Monday about scammers posing as financial institutions to obtain consumers’ sensitive banking information. The scammers typically send email messages that appear to be from the consumer’s financial institution, claiming that the bank or credit union is updating its online banking platform and that the consumer needs to provide verification of account information, the bureau said. The scammers ask that the consumer click through links in the email, which direct the user to a site asking for sensitive account information.
