Welcome to Fraud Talk!

Fraud Talk

Since fall of 2023, First Security employees Amy Wilson and Selena Jensen have taken their fraud expertise on the road, presenting to senior centers, lunch and learn events, high school students, and other organizations or groups across North Central Iowa.

During Cybersecurity Awareness month (October) of 2024, we started recording parts of their Fraud Talk to share digitally on our social media channels and here! 

We hope you take time to check out this page and learn a little bit about fraud tactics and how to protect yourself. If you're ever in doubt or have a question, don't hesitate to contact us at 1.800.272.0159.

A Few Key Recommendations

  • Resist pressure to act immediately
  • Don't share access or give information in response to a request you didn't expect
  • Stop and talk to someone you trust before acting
    • Contact us at 1.800.272.0159
