Michael G. Carlton, president of Crescent State Bank has announced that the bank will host Fighting Fraud, the first event in the Centsibility Series, on Thursday, Oct. 16 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Cary Chamber of Commerce, located at 307 N. Academy St. The event will include a Shred-a-thon and Fighting Fraud Seminar, featuring a panel of fraud experts. This event is the first in Crescent State Bank’s Centsibility Series. The series, not just for clients, is designed to educate seniors, families, and business owners on a variety of financial topics such as identity theft and fraud. This community event will focus on the importance of discarding personal documents and sensitive material properly. There will be a shredding truck available from 4 to 5:30 p.m. for those present to dispose of any items containing names, birthdates, and account numbers.
