Tips to keep your money and information protected against fraud.
BankSouth will NEVER ask you for your login information, your passcode, or to transfer money. If you are contacted by anyone asking for this information, hang up and call BankSouth at 706.453.2265.
If you’re not sure if the call, text or email you’ve received is a scam, you can call to verify the information. Scammers commonly pretend to be the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) or Medicare/Health Insurance. If you’ve received a suspicious call, text or email from someone claiming to be from the IRS or Medicare, call these organizations to verify the information and/or report the scam.
Your BankSouth banker can also help you determine if the person who contacted you is trustworthy or attempting to scam you. You may also report financial scams and fraud to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
