With the holidays approaching, scams will appear like snowflakes falling. Two good tips to protect your money in the digital world, are use a credit card as much as possible and just pay it back right away. If someone gets access to your credit card, they DO NOT have access to your whole bank account, and credit companies have better fraud protection. Or, get a second bank account with your bank and transfer money as you need it to that debit card. Then your main account is much safer. Finally, review your charges regularly for anything you don't recognize and alert the bank asap. Also, if you have a banking app on your phone, set alerts to tell you immediately a charge went through. This works really well and you will know right away if you are compromised.

It's extremely easy to fall victim to spoofing. When in doubt, ignore the call, text, or email, and verify any information with a trusted phone number or website. Never give out any personal information to anyone you are unfamiliar with that are claiming to be from a bank. BankSouth will never call you directly and ask for your PIN, CVV number on your debit card, or login information. #banksouth #cybersecurityawareness #cybersecuritytips #spoofing #wordwednesday #bankingterms
