PIERRE, SD (KELO.com) – The South Dakota Bankers Association is teaming up with the Attorney General’s Office to fight banking scams. They’re supporting the American Bankers Association “Banks Never Ask” campaign, which focuses on anti-phishing and scamming awareness. “The Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division receives reports daily about telephone and internet scams hurting many South Dakotans,” said Attorney General Jackley. “We appreciate the South Dakota Bankers Association’s effort to educate bank customers about such scams and are happy to support this campaign.” SDBA President Adam said South Dakota banks understand the need to be pro-active in consumer education. “You never think such a scam can happen to you, but unfortunately it does,” he said. “We want to use this campaign as an effort to educate customers to always be aware when they receive an internet or telephone message from someone pretending to be from their bank.”
