ABOUT THE FDIC'S TRANSACTION ACCOUNT GUARANTEE PROGRAM
West Central Georgia Bank has chosen not to participate in the FDIC’s
Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Coverage under the Transaction
Account Guarantee Program is in addition to and separate from the coverage
available under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules. Under the Transaction
Account Guarantee Program, through June 30, 2010, all noninterest-bearing
transaction accounts are fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount
in the account. Although West Central Georgia Bank is not participating in this
program, our customers with noninterest-bearing transaction accounts will continue
to be insured under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules.

E-mail Claiming to Be From the FDIC
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has received numerous reports of a fraudulent e-mail that has the appearance of being sent from the FDIC.
The subject line of the e-mail states: “check your Bank Deposit Insurance Coverage.” The e-mail tells recipients that, "You have received this message because you are a holder of a FDIC-insured bank account. Recently FDIC has officially named the bank you have opened your account with as a failed bank, thus, taking control of its assets.”
The e-mail then asks recipients to “visit the official FDIC website and perform the following steps to check your Deposit Insurance Coverage” (a fraudulent link is provided). It then instructs recipients to “download and open your personal FDIC Insurance File to check your Deposit Insurance Coverage.”
This e-mail and associated Web site are fraudulent. Recipients should consider the intent of this e-mail as an attempt to collect personal or confidential information, some of which may be used to gain unauthorized access to on-line banking services or to conduct identity theft.
The FDIC does not issue unsolicited e-mails to consumers. Financial institutions and consumers should NOT follow the link in the fraudulent e-mail.
The Banking Buddies are a special group of customers that enjoy special
get togethers, travels and meetings with special speakers.

to their credit rating – or worse yet, an undeserved criminal
record.
