Please be on the alert for fraudulent automated phone calls claiming they need your personal banking information and specifically information about your debit card(s). We have been notified by several customers who report that they were contacted by an automated calling system with a recorded message indicating that their debit card had expired, was suspended or had been compromised. The recording then prompted the card holder to enter their card number, PIN and security code. As you probably already know, Arvest Bank does not contact customers via phone, email or text message asking for confidential information such as card numbers, PINs or security codes.
If you received a phone call like this and entered your card information, please contact us immediately at (866) 931-9743 so that we can protect your account.
If you received a phone call like this, but did not divulge confidential information, please notify us via email at reportfraud@arvest.com. If possible, please include the phone number of the caller and describe what information the recording asked for.
As a part of our fraud prevention efforts, Arvest bank does contact customers by phone when we suspect the possibility of unauthorized transactions on your account. These calls are made live and are not made using recorded messages. We will not ask you for your bank card number, account number, card PIN or the security code on the back of your card.
