Counterfeit Check Fraud Alert!

We have been notified of a check scam that is hitting the nation involving fraudulent checks bearing our former name (Avanta).  These checks are included with a letter claiming that the recipient has won the lottery. 

The letter states that the recipient is to cash the enclosed check and wire the funds back to pay for the "tax" on the winning lotto amount.  These checks and letters are fraudulent!  We do not issue these checks. If you have received one of these checks in the mail, report it to to your local law enforcement agency immediately.

Please click on the link below for a sample of the fraudulent letter and check.  Thank you.

Always Call First!

It is always a good idea to call and verify any suspicious notices you may receive. Fraudulent notices are often discovered through the mail, email, phone calls, or faxes. Don't hesitate to call if you receive one of these notices. We can help you verify if something is not legitimate.

Identity Theft
