Phishing Alert

American Bankers Association 
American Bankers Association notified financial institutions that their name is being used in a fraudulent phishing e-mail that informs recipients that an 'unauthorized transaction' has been charged to their account using their bank card.  The amount of the transaction is listed, and recipients are asked to click on a link to review the transaction.  Recipients should not click on the link.  Clicking on links in such e-mails could enable the fraudsters to download malicious software into victims' computers and steal passwords and other account identifiers.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) 
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) notified financial instiutions on Friday, July 2, 2010 that they had received numerous reports of a fraudulent email that has the appearance of being sent from the FDIC.

The subject line of the email states: "You need to check your Bank Deposit Insurance Coverage." The email 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 email then directs recipients to click on a link stating "You need to visit the official FDIC website and perform the following steps to check your Deposit Insurance Coverage."

This email and associated Website are fraudulent. Recipients should consider the intent of this email as an attempt to collect personal or confidential information or to load malicious software onto end users' computers and should not click on the link provided.
