State Bank of Cochran has received multiple reports of suspicious phone calls where the caller claims to be from our bank. The callers have used our Cochran branch phone number (478-934-4501) and asked customers about accessing their mobile banking accounts. Some customers have noticed that they had just recently logged in and found the calls unusual.

These calls are not from the bank. Scammers sometimes impersonate our institution to try to get personal information.

What you should do:

• Do not give personal information over the phone unless you initiated the call to a verified bank number for State Bank of Cochran or BankSouth. Our banks will never contact you for your log in information, ask you for a passcode or ask you to transfer funds outside of the bank. If you are contacted by anyone asking for this type of information, please do not provide.
• Hang up on suspicious calls. If you don’t recognize the person on the phone, hang up immediately.
• Keep an eye on your accounts and report anything unusual to us immediately.
• Contact your local branch directly or our Customer Care team at (706)453-2265 if you receive a suspicious call.

Your security is important to us. Please stay alert and contact us with any concerns.
