IMPORTANT: ACH Phishing Alert

Monday, February 28th, 2011

The Electronic Payments Association has received reports that individuals and/or companies have received a fraudulent email that has the appearance of having been sent from NACHA and signed by a non-existent NACHA employee. Specifically, this email claims to be from the “Electronic Payments Association” and appears to be coming from the email address “payments@nacha.org.” These fake e-mails falsely state that recently sent ACH (Automated Clearing House) transactions have been canceled by the Electronic Payments Association.

NACHA does not send communications to individuals or organizations about individual ACH transactions that they originate or receive. If you receive an email from NACHA that states that your ACH transaction has been canceled, please do not respond to the email, open any attachments, or follow any link. Be on the lookout for similar emails as well. You can find more information at the NACHA website.

In a previous post, we explained the risks of an ACH scammer targeting your business bank account. Businesses do not enjoy the same protections afforded consumers. Once a criminal has access to your banking information, your account can be cleaned out before you know it. Call us to discuss this and other ways to protect your cash.
