America California Bank, San Francisco, California, 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 proper routing number of 121031673 for America California Bank; however, authentic official checks are payable through Preferred Bank, Los Angeles, California, and do not include the routing number for America California Bank. Also, the layout, style, and fonts are different. The term "CASHIER'S CHECK" is used on the counterfeit checks; the term "OFFICIAL CHECK" is used on authentic official checks. A copy of a counterfeit item and a copy of an authentic official check (VOID) are attached for your review.

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