| IMPORTANT INFORMATION EVERY CONSUMER SHOULD KNOW |
| FRAUDULENT EMAILS FROM FDIC ALERT |
| The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has received numerous reports of fraudulent e-mails that have the appearance of being sent from the FDIC.
While the e-mails exhibit variations in the "From" and "Subject" lines, the messages are similar.
The fraudulent e-mails are said to notify recipients of "recent changes in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance coverage." They state, "During the period from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2012 all the money in a "noninterest-bearing transaction account" are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Please note, that this is a temporary measure besides the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's general rules.
The term "noninterest-bearing transaction account" includes a usual checking account or demand deposit account on which no interest is paid by the insured depository institution."
A hyper link is provided (the Web addresses (URL) vary widely) to a Web site that supposedly provides "more details of this temporary FDIC coverage for transaction accounts."
This e-mail and link are fraudulent. Recipients should consider the intent of this e-mail as an attempt to collect personal or confidential information, or to load malicious software onto end users' computers. Recipients should not click on the link provided.
The FDIC does not issue unsolicited e-mails to consumers or business account holders.

| CREDIT CARD FRAUD ALERT |
| There has been an increase in automated PHISHING telephone calls, emails and text messages to cardholders stating that their cards were closed because of possible fraud. Cardholders are then instructed to call another number to reactivate their cards. Once the cardholder enters their card number and expiration date, the fraud begins. Remember, NO financial institution will ever request account, card or PIN information over the phone. If you believe that you are a victim of fraud, please contact us as soon as possible. |
