Fraudulent texts sent to Bank of Hawaii customers

Associated Press

Bank of Hawaii is warning of fraudulent text messages being sent to cell phone customers in Hawai'i.

The messages tell recipients that their accounts have been restricted, to call a phone number and then to enter their account and identification information. But the bank says the messages are fake and that it does not request confidential account information by telephone or text message.

Recipients should contact the bank if they mistakenly provided their information in response to the text message.
