Beware of Texting Scam

Written by John Dougherty on . Posted in Blog

 

 

We want to alert you to a recent scam involving fraudulent text messages that appear to be from Charles Schwab.  Scammers are sending messages that may look like legitimate Schwab communication, often claiming there is an issue with your account or prompting you to click a suspicious link.

 

What to Watch For:

  • Texts claiming urgent account issues or login problems.
  • Links asking you to verify personal or financial information.
  • Unusual sender numbers or unfamiliar phrasing.

What You Should Do:

  • Do not click any links or respond to the message.
  • Do not share your account details, passwords, or personal information.
  • If you’re unsure about any communication claiming to be from Schwab, please Contact us at 352-238-6411.

Below you will find an image of an actual text message received recently by one of our clients. We take your security seriously. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any concerns.
