Nominate a Scam Slayer

Did your bank stop a scam before a customer was harmed? Did a customer recognize the warning signs and avoid becoming a victim?

We're looking for stories that celebrate the banker employees and customers helping stop scams every day. If you know a Scam Slayer, we want to shine a spotlight on them.

Send us a brief write-up (2–3 short paragraphs) describing:

  • What happened? What type of scam was it? (note: we will not identify any customers by name without their permission.)
  • How was the scam identified? What tipped off the banker or customer?
  • What action was taken? What was the Scam Slayer move they made to stop the scam?
  • The outcome: what happened because they intervened?

Include:

  • Name and job title of the Scam Slayer(s)
  • Bank name and city/state
  • A high quality, professional photo of the Scam Slayer(s) (looking directly at the camera)
  • If the Scam Slayer is a customer and is willing to share his/her story, we are happy to use only their first name if they prefer. A photo is encouraged if they're comfortable providing one. A photo of the customer with the banker(s) also works, but we will need your bank to secure their permission to use the photo on social media, etc.

Share your story: Email us at [email protected]

We'll spotlight selected Scam Slayers on the #BanksNeverAskThat website to celebrate their efforts in helping stop scams. See an example below.
