Email Phishing Scam
As the Internet continues to become a more popular avenue for business and banking transactions, attempts to gain access to network information also continue to increase.
Recently, some corporate clients have received a fraudulent e-mail appearing to be sent from NACHA – The Electronic Payments Association. This fraudulent e-mail contains the Subject line "Rejected ACH Transaction" and indicates an ACH transaction was rejected and that corporate client should review the transaction by clicking on the provided hyperlink. This hyperlink directs the corporate client to a potentially malicious web site that is designed to appear as the official NACHA web site. If visited, this fraudulent web site could be used to install malware on the corporate client's workstation.
NACHA has informed financial institutions that this e-mail did not originate from NACHA and that any recipient of this e-mail should not click on the provided hyperlink.
Below is a sample of the fraudulent e-mail sent to corporate clients.
