IMPORTANT NOTICE
Dear neighbors:
There is a group of people going door to door pretending to be employees of the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses.
They have documents and letterheads from the Ministry of the Interior and claim that they need to verify that everyone has a valid ID for the upcoming census. They are thieves.
They are everywhere and look elegant.
Someone will come to your house and say "I want to take your photo/fingerprint" according to some scheme.
They have a portable computer, a biometric machine, and a list with all the names.
They show you the menu and ask for all this information.
Please note that there is no such initiative from the government.
Please know that all of this is false.
Do not give them any information.
Everyone must be alert and aware!
Send this to all your community groups.
Please inform your family and friends.
(Shared in several groups).

A public service announcement.

People are calling pretending to be from Banco General using numbers similar to Banco General's, like 800-5000 or 300-5000, but with a 01 or other symbol added at the beginning.

This is a red flag. They're also using landlines like +507 203-1033, claiming they stopped a fraud attempt, and so on. The idea is to transfer you to another department, supposedly the hero who stopped the fraud, and then get you to transfer your funds to a backup account that's part of the new contract update.

They tell you not to worry, if you don't have one, they'll create one for you over the phone—easy peasy. Be very careful, everyone. They've already started doing this with Banistmo accounts too.

These are call centers in Mexico and other Latin American countries that specialize in fraud, especially when people are panicking about their money.

There is an online tool for tracking services outages for TiGo and +Movil here in Panama. It relies on user reports, so the more people that use it, the more accurate the information will be. Please bookmark the site and use it to report any outages that you personally experience. Please pass the link on to your friends. The service is provided by the internationally recognized company Ookla, a division of Ziff Davis.

Here is the link:

Panama, January 26, 2026

Receive a cordial greeting from Banco General.

We are writing to you to communicate an important change in the way you receive your pension or retirement payments from the U.S. Government. USA.

From March 2026, the Direct Deposit service through Bank of New York will be replaced by the ACH International service, which will allow you to receive your funds safely, directly and at no cost per transaction.

To make the change to the ACH International service, you must complete the form at the branch of your choice, where one of our executives will help you with the process.

This procedure can take up to 90 days, so we thank you for doing this management before March 2026, the date on which the Direct Deposit service through Bank of New York will be suspended.

We appreciate your understanding and prompt attention. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call us at 800-5000 or 300-5000.

Sincerely,

General Bank
