Bank of Albuquerque takes the privacy of our clients and the security of their accounts very seriously. Currently, there are a number of e-mail scams that are designed to trick you into providing your user ID and password. We will never request this information from you via e-mail.

To help you defend yourself against these criminals, Bank of Albuquerque has compiled a list of simple online tips to help you safeguard your accounts and privacy from these online scams. We've also provided you with some general information on how to prevent account fraud and included links to the FTC's, FDIC's and the U.S. Government's web pages that contain more detailed information about online safety, identity theft and online fraud.

Important: In an effort to protect you from future phishing scams, we recommend that you install the latest Microsoft® Security Patch*. The patch will eliminate masked URLs and display the actual URL or URLs used in the fraudulent email and Web site scams.
