United Bankshares warns of government scam calls pressuring immediate payments
Scam risks prompt United Bankshares alert

United Bankshares is alerting the public to a surge in scam calls from individuals pretending to represent government agencies. These scammers use threats to pressure victims into making immediate payments over the phone.

The company advises caution, reminding consumers that legitimate government agencies will never demand payments in this manner. United Bankshares emphasizes the importance of pausing and verifying such demands before taking action to avoid falling victim to fraud.

Earlier this year, United Bankshares closed branches in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia early due to severe weather conditions. The company has also described efforts by its regional retail managers to empower local branch leaders and build stronger community connections in Atlanta branch leadership initiatives. These steps reflect the bank's ongoing focus on local presence and customer safety.
