In certain cases, we may mail you a letter requesting you to fill out a form or to contact us by phone or in person. If you have any concerns about any communication from us, please feel free to call or stop in the bank.

What’s New on the Net
Here’s a look at new Web sites that can help you manage and protect your money:
Avoid Fake Check Scams
The Alliance for Consumer Fraud Awareness, a coalition of consumer and business organizations and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service,
has created an interactive Web site at www.fakechecks.org with tips for avoiding check scams. The site features
online videos and tests for consumers. For years, the FDIC has been doing its part to warn consumers about fake check scams by publishing informative articles in
back issues of FDIC Consumer News at www.fdic.gov/consumernews.
Defend Against Identity Theft
The federal government’s Identity Theft Task Force, of which the FDIC is a member, has launched a new Web site at www.idtheft.gov to help consumers spot and stop ID theft. For more guidance from the FDIC, see back issues of FDIC Consumer News.
