The Indiana Department of Financial Institutions has received reports that callers posing as representatives of the State of Indiana or the Department of Financial Institutions have been contacting individuals asking for personal information allegedly to ensure that deposits are insured by FDIC.  THESE CALLS ARE FRAUDULENT.

Department of Financial Institution employees will never contact individuals regarding their personal accounts at banks. Be suspicious of phone calls or any contact from someone posing to be a "bank examiner" or an "employee" of your bank. Scammers are looking to obtain personal information including account numbers and balances, Social Security numbers, credit card numbers and any other personal financial information to fraudulently take money from consumers.

Please contact The Farmers and Merchants Bank if you think that you have been contacted by a scammer. 765-869-5513
