Report Fraud (855) QNBTNOW

Know it's really us

Things our bank will never do

Scammers often imitate financial institutions to trick you into gaining access to your funds. If someone says they are with Queensborough, but they do any of these, you can be sure it is a scammer calling you.

1

Ask for your one-time code

We are not going to ask for your code, PIN or password. Those codes are for you only.

2

Ask you to move your money

Scammers will tell you that you need to “protect” your money by moving it. We would never say that.

3

Demand personal information on a call we make

If you call us, we may require personal information to verify your identity; however if we call you, we will never demand account or personal information.

4

Pressure you to act now

Urgency is one way scammers trick people. We will never threaten to close your account or push you to make a decision on the spot.

When in doubt, hang up. Then call us directly using the number on the back of your debit card, on our website, or on a recent statement: 1-855-QNBTNOW (1-855-762-8669)

Fraud FAQs

We've gathered answers to the most common questions about fraud prevention. If you don't see what you're looking for, our local bankers are always ready to help.

What should I do if I think I’ve been targeted by fraud?

Stop communicating with the person or organization immediately, do not click any additional links, and do not send money or provide more information. If your account, debit card, online banking, or personal information may be affected, contact the bank right away so we can help you take the next steps.

How can I quickly verify whether a message from the bank is legitimate?

Use a trusted contact method, such as the phone number on the back of your debit card, a statement, or the bank’s official website. Do not use phone numbers, links, or email addresses included in a suspicious text, email, social media message, or pop-up.

What are the warning signs of a scam?

Common red flags include urgent requests, threats that your account will be closed, offers that seem too good to be true, unexpected refund or prize notices, requests to move money, and pressure to keep the situation secret. Scammers often try to make you act quickly before you have time to verify the request.

What should I do if I clicked a suspicious link or shared information?

Contact the bank as soon as possible and let us know what happened. Change passwords for any affected accounts, monitor your accounts closely, and avoid using the same password across multiple websites or apps. If you provided card information, account details, login credentials, or personal identification information, quick action can help reduce potential damage.

How can I better protect my online and mobile banking access?

Use strong, unique passwords; turn on available security features such as alerts and multi-factor authentication; keep your devices and apps updated; and sign out when you are finished. Avoid accessing online banking over public Wi-Fi unless you are using a secure connection.

When should I report suspicious account activity?

Report suspicious activity as soon as you notice it, even if the amount is small or you are not sure whether it is fraud. Early reporting helps the bank review the situation, guide you through next steps, and take action to help protect your account.
