Security Scott returns in....SCAMS.
Unfortunately scammers have gotten more sophisticated and can "spoof" phone numbers making it appear they're coming from someone you know and trust. Remember, Ent will never ask for your PIN number, your online banking username OR your password.
We want you to stay safe! #sharkweek
Did you know one of the best ways to secure your information is to keep the software up to date on your devices? Every internet-connected device is an entry point for a cyber criminal. If you connect it, protect it.
Do Your Part. Be #CyberSmart
Happy Friday! Do you know someone headed to college next fall?
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2021-22 academic year is now open!
Follow these tips to make the process easier:
✏️Start early – the sooner you apply the more aid you could be eligible for!
✏️Know your deadlines – be aware that your school could have their own deadlines that are different from the Federal deadlines.
✏️ Fill out the form completely and follow the directions – errors on your application may cause delays and limit how much aid you can receive!
