Subject: Fictitious Common Stock/Bond Dividend Checks Description: Executive National Bank Date:March 10, 2008

TO: Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks; All State Banking Authorities; Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; Chairman, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; Director, Office of Thrift Supervision; Conference of State Bank Supervisors; Deputy Comptrollers (districts); Assistant Deputy Comptrollers; District Counsel; and All Examining Personnel RE: Fictitious Common Stock/Bond Dividend Checks of Executive National Bank, Miami, FL

The above-named bank has reported that fictitious common stock/bond dividend checks issued in the bank's name and using the bank's correct routing number of 067008155 are being presented for payment nationwide in connection with a lottery scam.

These items are fictitious, as Executive National Bank does not issue common stock/bond dividend checks. Items presented to date have been made payable in the amounts of $1,825.35 and $19,520.27. Due to possible variations in appearance of the bank's official items and scams, it is suggested that officials of Executive National Bank be contacted to verify authenticity of any of the bank's official items, if received from an unknown or questionable source.

The prize award winning notification correspondence accompanying the checks may contain the letterhead of “CROSSBOARD SOLUTIONS, 295 Grand Mira South Rd, Marion Bridge, NS B1K1E8, Tel: 1-902-412-8955, Fax: 1-902-412-8956.” Note that the telephone number provided originates out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and the winning amount of $19,420.17 as discussed in the letter does not correspond to the actual amount of the fictitious item. The recipient is informed of his or her winning status of a large dollar amount in the “Deltex Wheel of Fortune” and is instructed to contact Laura Ross at 1-902-412-2131, Bobby Endfield at 1-902-412-2290, or Brenda Atkens at 1-902-412-0282. The letter states that any attempt to negotiate the check without contacting Deltex Exchange Bureau will automatically lead to the check being voided. The letter may be signed by Britney James, Award Dispatch Manager.

Included along with the letter is a Surety Bond Purchase Requisition Form containing the letterhead of “DELTEX EXCHANGE BUREAU, 115 Glenthorn Ave, Charlottetown, PEI C1A 958, Tel: 1-902-412-1454, Fax: 1-902-412-2660.” This forms requests various personal information including: name, address, telephone number, date of birth, and gender.
