Beware: Phishing Calls Pretending to Be M&T Bank
Summary — +18778196271
Expert Opinion
Never trust an unexpected phone number in a fraud email. Treat any unsolicited call as a potential phishing attempt and verify it through official channels. First, hang up and call the bank using the number printed on the back of your card or listed on the institution’s website—never the number in the email. Look for red flags like poor grammar, generic greetings, or urgent language pushing you to share personal data. Enable multi‑factor authentication on your accounts and regularly monitor transaction history for unknown activity. If you suspect a scam, report it to your bank’s fraud department and consider placing a fraud alert on your credit files.
