Counterfeit Cashier's Checks |
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has learned that
counterfeit cashier's checks drawn on Klein Bank, Houston, Texas, are
in circulation. A copy of a legitimate instrument and three copies of
the counterfeit instruments are attached for your information.
The bank's legitimate checks have a white background. The top of the
check is white and gradually changes to a very light blue. The name
"KLEIN BANK" is printed five times across and seven rows down the check
in light blue ink.
The counterfeit checks are blue fading to green. They have an oval
shaded area in the center of the check with "KLEIN BANK" printed inside
the oval, and the serial numbers are printed in red.
Any information you have concerning this matter should be brought to
