Important information about Email Fraud and Identity Theft
At Security Bank, we value our customer relationships and we are committed to ensuring your privacy. As a customer, you can help us protect your personal information by practicing good security habits, educating yourself about identity theft, and reporting any suspicious contacts.
Identity Theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the nation. A new form of Internet and Email Fraud is a practice known as “phishing” or “spoofing”. Victims of this fraud can suffer financial losses and have their personal financial information used fraudulently.
You may have received one of these fraudulent “spoofing” or “phishing” emails that may appear to be from a bank, including the bank’s logo and design. The fraudulent email tries to get you to supply personal information (such as your account number, social security number or password). The message may request that you send such information back via email or connect to a website link, which will then try to get you to enter your personal information. Don’t do it.
If you receive an email that you suspect is fraudulent, please forward it to customerservice@securitybank.net or call 478-796-6000.
Security Bank understands your privacy is important and we will never ask you to provide confidential information over the telephone, via postal mail or in email.
