We aim to report every variant of the scams we receive, so even if it appears that a scam you receive has already been reported, please submit it to us anyway.
Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Downey Savings by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
Downey Savings never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "www.downeysavingsonlinebanking.com".
The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual Downey Savings URL.

"We are attempting to verify some recent transactions on your account."
Dear Downey Savings Client,
We are attempting to verify some recent transactions on your account. After we have made the
verification we were unable to confirm your personal identity.
Login to Online Banking any day of the week between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. ET, complete all the information requested and your personal identity will be confirmed and protected.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but Downey Savings feels this is a necessary
precaution to protect our members personal identity information.
You may also view your transactions online by logging in to or registering for our Online Banking

There is no need to call us in response to a phone message we've left in the last three days unless you see any transactions you don't recognize.
Thank you for helping us protect your account.
