CHIEF
EXECUTIVE OFFICER |
| SUBJECT: |
Fraudulent
Instruments
|
|
The Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has learned that banks are
receiving instruments entitled "Certified Bankers Checks" purportedly
payable at United States Post Offices, the United States Treasury
Department, and the Comptroller of the Currency. These instruments
are deemed to be without financial value.
The FDIC has also received information that banks are being offered certificates of deposit in the amount of $25 million (U.S. dollars), purportedly issued by Banco Del Atlantico, S.A., to support various financial transactions. These instruments have been reported to be counterfeit and contain forged signatures. Banco Del Atlantico, S.A., is a legitimate bank headquartered in Mexico City, Mexico. Any information concerning these instruments should be forwarded to the FDIC's Special Activities Section, 550 17th Street, N.W., Room F-612, Washington, D.C. 20429.
Distribution: FDIC-Supervised Banks (Commercial and Savings)
