There are a lot of scammers that are always trying to con people out of their information. We know that individuals across the country are receiving calls from fraudsters imitating their bank’s call center staff, asking for Online Banking User ID’s and passwords or other private and sensitive information.

Farmers State Bank will never call, text or email you to ask for any personal banking information or ask you to make a transaction.

Notice: Vehicles Damaged in Recent Flood Disasters

It was brought to our attention that vehicles damaged in the recent floods may be cleaned up and sold without disclosing they were in a flood. Some could be sold in our area. Anyone concerned about this can visit www.nicb.org to check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of a vehicle in question. Once on the site, click on VIN check. It will show if the vehicle has had a theft claim or total loss claim. Checking a VIN is free on this site, so please check first if you or someone you know plans to buy a vehicle from a private party or from a dealership you’re not familiar with.
