NACHA FRAUDULENT EMAIL ALERT

Thursday, November 12, 2009

This urgent alert was just received from NACHA. Please forward to any indidivuals and corporate customers who might be affected.

Received from NACHA today:

Random individuals and/or companies may have received a falsified e-mail with the subject title “Rejected ACH Transaction.”  This e-mail appears to be from NACHA – The Electronic Payments Association telling them that there is a problem with an ACH transaction they have originated.  The e-mail includes a link which redirects the individual to a fake web page which appears like the NACHA website and contains a link which is almost certainly executable virus with malware.  See sample below.

Please alert any financial institution and/or company who have questions about this site and inform them that the e-mail did not originate from NACHA, the website is not that of NACHA’s, and inform them to not click on the link.
