Bank of Dade, Trenton, Georgia, has contacted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to report that counterfeit official checks bearing the institution's name are in circulation.

The counterfeit items display the routing number 011007092, which is a payable-through account at Bank of New York Mellon, Everett, Massachusetts. The items are nearly identical to authentic official checks; however, they have a light blue brick-patterned background and dark blue borders. Payee name is handwritten.

Authentic official checks have a purple ornate-patterned background and a double black border. An MGI watermark is on the back. The bank's telephone number is displayed in the top-left corner and all check information is computer-generated.

Copies of a counterfeit item and an authentic check (VOID) are attached for your review. Be aware that the appearance of counterfeit items can be modified and that additional variations may be presented.

Any information you have concerning this matter should be brought to the attention of:
