Our Spartanburg branch’s parking lot will be closed for maintenance starting at 8 AM tomorrow through Sunday (3/28-29). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
To keep yourself safe from scammers, familiarize yourself with the types of information Spero will never ask for over the phone, text, or email!
These include:
💡 Your account or PIN number
💡 Your online banking login credentials
💡 Your social security number
💡 Other personally identifying information (like your driver’s license number)
Spero will also never ask you to do things like:
💡Open an attachment from an unfamiliar sender
💡Click on unfamiliar links
💡Transfer funds to yourself using services like Venmo or CashApp to reverse fraudulent withdrawals.
If someone is asking for any of the info or actions listed above, they’re most likely a scammer and you should not comply.
