First State Bank of Blakely wants to ensure the protection of your personal and account information.  Please be aware that scammers can mimic (“spoof”) phone numbers on your caller ID.  They will try to gather information from you to access your identity and financial accounts.  This method is called “Social Engineering”. 

To help protect yourself from Social Engineering, if you receive a call from First State Bank and you did not initiate it, AND you don’t know whom you are speaking with, ask for their name, hang up, then call your branch to verify their identity.
