On June 14, 2002, FDIC issued four fraud alerts. Three deal with fraudulent checks. A fourth deals with stolen bank note paper, including paper that has been discovered to have been used to counterfeit birth certificates and death certificates.
Watch for fictitious cashier's checks bearing the name "Millennia Funding, A Community Bank" with an address of 2800 Billy Graham Parkway, Charlotte, NC and a telephone number 704-588-7672.
There is no bank in North Carolina named Millennia Funding. The routing number used on the checks, 053112343, is assigned to the Millennia Community Bank in Greenville, North Carolina. It has no offices in Charlotte.
Fictitious cashier's checks are also in circulation bearing the name Adelanto Business Savings & Trust, which does not exist in the United States. The routing number used on these phony checks is assigned to California Chohung Bank, Los Angeles, California.
Fraudulent checks bearing the name "St. Genevieve Bank & Trust" in St. Genevieve, MO have also been reported. The St. Genevieve Bank & Trust does not exist. The routing number, 08190356, is that assigned to the Bank of Ste. Genevieve, Ste. Genevieve, Missouri - a legitimate bank.
Information about these checks or similar items may be forwarded to the FDIC's Special Activities Section, 550 17th Street, NW, Room F-6012 , Washington, DC 20429. Information may also be transmitted electronically to alert@fdic.gov
