Fraudulent Letters Claiming to Be From the FDIC
GuidanceFederal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)Phishing
Letters fraudulently claiming to be from the FDIC are requesting that financial institutions deposit official or cashier's checks into customer accounts.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has become aware of letters that appear to be sent from the FDIC to financial institutions in the United States and other countries. The letters instruct the financial institution to deposit an enclosed official or cashier's check into a customer's account. The letters include "DEPOSIT ACCLERATION" directly below the letterhead and display the forged signatures of "Sandra L. Thompson, Director" and "Christopher J. Spoth, Acting Director 2." The letters are fraudulent and were not sent by the FDIC.
