Internet E-mail Scams

Your security online is important to us.

Customers may receive fraudulent E-mails aimed at retrieving personal information. Online fraud is a widespread issue on the Internet, and the best line of defense is education — learn how to recognize scams and E-mail fraud to protect yourself online.

Closely inspect any E-mail that provides a link or requests personal information.

Fraudulent E-mails can often appear to come from a reputable source -- this is called "spoofing" or "phishing" because the sender's true identity is concealed. Never click on a link in a suspicious E-mail message.

And remember—City National Bank will NEVER ask for personal information through E-mail. Your best protection against fraud is caution. Do not respond to any message asking for the following:

  • Password
  • PIN Number
  • Credit Card Validation Code
  • Bank Account Numbers
  • ATM or Credit Card Numbers
  • Personal Information, such as Social Security Number

IMPORTANT: If you receive a suspicious E-mail that appears to be from City National Bank, report it to our security team immediately.

Below is a sample phishing E-mail recently sent to customers of another financial institution:
