Spencer takes your security seriously. We take every precaution possible to provide a safe website for our Spencer customers. A good education on banking safely over the internet will add to your security.
One way you can protect your personal information is by being aware of phishing scams. Phishing scams attempt to compromise consumers’ personal identity data and financial account credentials. These schemes use emails to lead unsuspecting customers to counterfeit websites. These false websites are designed to trick recipients into divulging personal information and financial data such as names, birth dates, credit card numbers, account user names, account passwords, and social security numbers. By hijacking the brand name of banks, retailers and credit card companies, phishers often convince recipients to respond.
Please remember that Spencer will not contact you via email asking for any of your personal financial data. If you receive an email of this sort, please do not respond to it. Report the email immediately by contacting our customer service department at (800) 363-8115. Below, you will find some helpful links where you can learn more about how to protect yourself on the internet, and what
to do you if you have been the victim of identity theft.
