The Florida Department of Financial Services has contacted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to report that counterfeit warrants (checks) bearing the name "State of Florida, Department of Financial Services" are in circulation.

These warrants have "State of Florida, Department of Financial Services" imprinted near the top of the warrant and display the State of Florida Treasury routing number of 063000694. The statewide document numbers (SWDN#) - located at the top center - of the counterfeit items identified to date are "H4000112182" or "H3000128511." Another characteristic of these counterfeit warrants is that the font type and size used for the imprinted information across the top of the warrant, as well as for the amount and payee, are not consistent on all parts of the counterfeit warrants.
