Important Fraud Alert – Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Scam

We have recently become aware of a scam involving individuals falsely claiming to represent the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). In these scams, consumers are contacted by phone, email, text message, or mail and are instructed to send money, provide personal information, or pay fees to resolve a supposed issue.

Please remember:

  • The CFPB does not request payments, fees, or money transfers from consumers.
  • Never provide account numbers, online banking credentials, debit card information, or Social Security numbers to unsolicited callers or messages.
  • Be cautious of urgent demands, threats, or requests to act immediately.
  • Do not click on links or open attachments from unknown sources.
  • Verify any communication by contacting the organization directly using information obtained from an official website or trusted source.

If you receive a suspicious message claiming to be from the CFPB:

  1. Do not respond or send money.
  2. Do not provide any personal or financial information.
  3. Report the incident to your financial institution and appropriate authorities.
  4. Notify management if you believe a customer may have been targeted.

 Please remain vigilant and report any suspected fraud attempts immediately.

1969

A new facility was built for Bank of Oakfield, but still on the original site. The lobby, vault, tellers’ stations and bookkeeping areas were constructed first and opened in June 1969. After the old building was demolished, the President’s office and Director’s room were completed. The public open house was held in October 1969.

1901

Bank of Oakfield officially became the bank you know today. F.J. Bristol was the first president with C.G. Morgan as vice president and W.E. Bristol as cashier and bookkeeper.

1898

The Bristol Morgan Company moved across the street (to the building known today as Cowles-Henke Insurance) and decided to separate the store operations and financial services, as private banks were allowed in Wisconsin at that time. The company surrounded the property with a security fence and dedicated the front of the building to banking.  Then, on February 22, 1898, the financial business became officially known as the Bank of Oakfield.

Late 1800s

Long before we became Bristol Morgan Bank, a business by the name of Bristol and Worthing operated in the Oakfield community. One outgrowth of that business was a store called the Bristol and Morgan Company that provided a safe place for farmers to keep their money after they sold products at market.
