Bank alerts Customers to Scam Calls

Southern Heritage Bank is warning customers about scam calls where individuals are posing as bank representatives. These scammers are using caller ID spoofing to make it appear as though the calls are coming from the bank’s official number.

The callers ask about debit card transactions and claim they need the customer’s PIN number or a one-time verification code to fix the issue.

Southern Heritage Bank reminds customers that it will never request PIN numbers or verification codes over the phone. Anyone who receives such a call should hang up immediately and contact their local branch to report it.
