The above-named bank has reported that counterfeit cashier’s checks, issued in the bank’s name and using a correct routing number of 067011142, are being presented nationwide for payment.

Items presented to date have been made payable in varying large dollar amounts in excess of $200,000, contain a remitter name of Mill Bore Engineering, Inc, and include a branch number of 1230.
