(Algona)--Another area law enforcement agency is issuing a warning about a scam aimed at getting potential victims banking information.

The Algona Police Department says it received a phone call this week from a concerned person, in regards to a call they received from an alleged employee that worked at a local bank.  The phone number came up as a local bank in Algona area and the male subject advised the reporting party, that their bank account had been compromised.  At this point, the male subject asked the citizen for all passwords associated with their account.  No passwords were given out in this situation.

Police remind the public NOT to give out any personal information to anyone over the phone.  The bank did not call this reporting party in this situation.  Police say with technology today, a person can use their computer to spoof the phone number and make it appear that it comes from a legitimate business.  If anyone receives any calls like this and have any questions, please reach out directly to your bank or local law enforcement agency. The Estherville Police Department issued a similar scam warning earlier in the week.
