Our ATM/Checkcard network has advised us of a "Vishing" event.

Customers receive calls stating their debit cards have been suspended/deactivated. The calls are an automated recording; some indicate they are the security dept of Visa Inc. It then advises the customer to "press 1 to continue" at which point the customer is asked to enter their card information, or to call 1-800-391-8627 or 843-884-6884 (which is not a valid phone number).Please do not enter your card number or any other information if you receive this type of call.
