Phishing Scam E-mails

The email claiming to be from Woodforest Bank requing you to verify personal information appears to be a phishing scam.  Phishing e-mails are e-mails from scam artists who use official looking webpages designed to trick you into believing they are from a corporate website that you have an account with.  Once you are at the site, they will ask you to provide or verify personal information such as bank account information, credit card information, social security information and password information.  If you get such an e-mail, you should delete it and do not provide any of the requested information.  However, if you are not convinced that you have a fraudulent e-mail, please contact Woodforest Bank directly and explain the e-mail you received.  If you give out any personal information, contact Woodforest Bank immediately and depending on what information you gave out, it may be wise to take measures to protect against identity theft (e.g. contact credit agencies, close accounts, cleanse computer).  Many e-mail solicitations that appear to be phishing e-mails are set forth throughout this website and below:

Dear Valued Customer

Woodforest Bank takes significant steps to protect the security
and privacy of your information online. We employ best practices to ensure
the integrity of our systems and the security of your information.
We use several levels of security techniques that consist of prevention,
detection and response as well as monitoring and reporting.

To further protect against unauthorized access to your accounts,
our systems are designed to automatically terminate a secure online session
if extended inactivity is detected. If your session is terminated, you will be
required to login again to continue.

In addition, when you log out, we have taken steps to ensure that the history
of your session is not retained. This helps to ensure that your privacy is protected,
particularly when using a publicly accessible computer.

For your protection, we require that you “VERIFY” your account details.
If you are unable to provide either the correct Username
or password, you will not be granted access.
