## Resource

Douglas County authorities smashed a sophisticated check fraud ring using “smishing” — phishing via text — targeting Centris Federal Credit Union customers, stealing over $150K and arresting three suspects. The scam, flagged by the credit union’s own fraud team, mimicked official messages to steal login details and open new accounts. Banks never text for personal info — always verify directly. This case warns everyone: don’t trust unsolicited financial messages. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
