Give Mom the Gift of Safety

Give Mom the Gift of Safety this Mother’s Day

It usually starts with something small.

A text about an Amazon delivery.
A limited‑time deal that feels perfect for Mother’s Day.
A message that sounds urgent – “Your account needs immediate action.”

Before mom even realizes it, she’s being asked to click, buy, or pay.

Unfortunately, scammers don’t take holidays off. In fact, Mother’s Day is a popular time for fake shopping sites, phishing messages, and payment scams designed to rush people into acting fast. That’s why Chesapeake Bank is proud to share a simple way moms (and families) can pause, assess, and stay safe before clicking, buying, or paying.

A Simple Pause Can Change Everything

Before clicking a link, making a purchase, or sending money, we encourage moms to remember one simple approach:

Stop. Look. Verify.

• Stop when something feels rushed or urgent – pressure is a common scam tactic.
• Look closely at website addresses, sender emails, and spelling errors.
• Verify by going directly to a trusted website or calling a known number before taking action.
  
  

Give Mom Safety Campaign analyze signals commonly used in scams, including signs of manipulation, website patterns, domain behavior, and known threat indicators. The goal isn’t to predict intent, but to surface risk so people can make more informed decisions.

This is all about slowing things down and checking first. That brief pause – even just a few seconds can prevent financial stress that lasts much longer.

Supporting Women Who Mean Business

Many moms aren’t just managing households—they’re running businesses, too. Chesapeake Bank continues to expand fraud‑prevention tools and banking features designed to support business owners, including:

• CheckSync™ with Positive Pay, helping reduce check fraud before losses occur
• Advanced account monitoring and alerts
• Built‑in fraud controls designed to keep businesses running confidently
