News! Scam Warning: Charles King, vice president of the Bank of Holly Springs reports that this week approximately 20 phone calls have been reported to the bank and determined as fraudulent. Apparently targeting the elderly, the callers falsely identify themselves as representatives of the bank and ask bank customers to update and/or verify their personal banking information.
