Identity Theft

At Hancock Bank, protecting your financial information is our top priority. Hancock Bank does not use e-mail notifications to request confirmation of personal information or to direct downloading of attachments. If you receive such an e-mail, responding to them may put your financial information and identity at risk. Don't respond. Instead, forward a copy of that message to us at Phished@HancockBank.com and delete the message. Never click any links or attachments in a suspicious email.


We want to remind you to protect your information by paying close attention to the e-mails you receive. When it comes to phishing, you have the power to protect yourself.

  1. Look for Hancock Bank's email standards. Hancock Bank's email guidelines can help you spot a fake.

  2. Never share personal information via email. Often, fraudulent e-mails will request details such as your full name, account password, credit/debit card number, bank account, PIN number, Social Security Number, or mother's maiden name.

    Please note, however, that we may send a quality survey by e-mail asking you to evaluate a recent service interaction with a bank employee but such requests will not include questions asking you to provide any personal information but will ask you generic questions to rate the quality of service received.

  3. Never open an attachment or click links in a suspicious email message.
