It looks like your bank is calling. It’s not. Phone spoofing lets scammers make it appear like First State Bank of Rosemount is calling you—even when it’s not us. If someone asks for: ❌ Your PIN ❌ Your online banking login ❌ A one-time passcode Hang up immediately. Then call us directly using the number you trust. Don’t trust the caller ID. Verify it. #FraudAlert #PhoneScam #StayProtected #BankLocal
