Big Island phone fraud targets bank accounts

HILO >> Big Island police are warning residents about a scam in which a telephone caller claiming to represent the financial service firm Dun & Bradstreet asks for people's Social Security and bank account numbers.

The caller claims the information is needed to "verify" their accounts.

"Disclosing personal financial information over the phone is an invitation for the caller to clean out your checking or savings account," said Lt. Chadwick Fukui.
