Sierra Bancorp is cautioning the public about a surge in scam attempts where fraudsters impersonate children or grandchildren urgently requesting money.
The bank advises recipients of such messages or calls to pause before taking any action, verify the sender's identity, and consult with other family members to prevent falling victim to fraud. This renewed warning comes amid growing concerns over financial scams targeting families.
Sierra Bancorp has also made recent grants to community organizations. The bank provided funding to support advocacy and education for survivors of assault through a grant to Lumina Alliance. It has also backed programs to help high school students develop career and life skills with a grant to the Jim Burke Education Foundation. These initiatives highlight the bank’s continued community involvement alongside its fraud prevention efforts.
