**RE:** Counterfeit Cashier's Checks of National City Bank, Evansville,
IN

Integra Bank, N.A., has reported to the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC) that counterfeit cashier's checks, issued in the name of
National City Bank, Evansville, IN, and using a retired routing number
of 081205248, are being presented nationwide for payment in connection
with a lottery scam. National City Bank was merged into Integra Bank,
N.A. As a result of this merger, there are no longer any authentic items
in circulation bearing the name of National City Bank, Evansville, IN,
or utilizing the routing number noted above.

The counterfeit items are light tan in color with a dark tan border. All
printing appears in black ink, and the watermark is a diamond pattern
when held to the light. To date, the checks presented have been made
payable in the amount of either \$3,850.00 or \$4,850.00.

> Correspondence accompanying the counterfeit items contains the
> letterhead of "Providence Trust, 9089 Clarke Avenue, Orangeville, ON
> L9W 2Y8, (519) 722-4987" and may be signed by Gina Pride, Senior Vice
> President, Operations. Recipients are informed of their winning status
> and are instructed to contact their account manager, Wilson Graham, at
> (519) 721-2585. The letter further states that "...the enclosed check
> should be used for service charges and all applicable fees."
