Fraud

Be alert to e-mail and text message fraud and other fraud schemes. We encourage you to be vigilant in protecting your personal information. Moultrie Bank & Trust wants to equip you with the knowledge you need to recognize a scam. We've partnered with American Bankers Association (ABA) to help educate on Banks Never Ask That. You can also review these tips on cyber security and report suspected fraudulent activity to us immediately.

Phishing scams may try to convince you otherwise, but Moultrie Bank & Trust will never call, e-mail or text you to ask for sensitive information such as login credentials, account numbers, Social Security numbers or Secure Access Codes. The security and confidentiality of your personal information is important to us.

Your safest bet, if you're ever contacted and asked to provide sensitive account or personal information, is always to hang up and call us directly to verify, unless you initiated the contact or are otherwise certain about the legitimacy of the person contacting you. In the event you receive a suspicious call, text or e-mail, or notice activity you don't recognize in your online banking transaction listing, our bankers are here to take immediate action to help protect you and your accounts from further exposure.

The security and confidentiality of your personal information is important to us. Turn a memorable sentence into an acronym to make your password stand stronger against fraud. “I spent three hours at the grocery store!” for example, becomes “Is3h@tgs!”.
