Security Bank of Georgia Warns Consumers of Phishing Scams

The Security Bank of Georgia, located in Macon, has placed a warning to consumers on its website about Email Fraud & Identity Theft. The bank warns that identity theft is one of the "fastest crimes" in the United States of America and that "phishing" or "spoofing" endagers customers by tricking them into revealing information such as bank account numbers, social security numbers, etc.

Consumers in the Macon, Warner Robins, Perry, and Gray Georgia area should be aware of this risk.
