**RE:** Fraudulent Official Checks of Chino Commercial Bank, N.A.,
Chino, CA

The above-named bank has reported that fraudulent official checks issued
in the bank's name but using the routing number of First Interstate
Bank, Los Angeles, CA, are being presented for payment. Chino Commercial
Bank, N.A., does not issue official checks. Thus far, all items have
been issued in connection with COD gun supply purchases.

The fraudulent checks may be identified by the following: a ribboned
banner across the top of the check with a statement that reads: "THIS
DOCUMENT HAS A COLORED BACKGROUND AND MICROPRINTING. THE REVERSE SIDE
INCLUDES AN ARTIFICIAL WATERMARK." The bank name, address and telephone
number appear in the upper-right portion of the check. The words
"OFFICIAL CHECK" are enclosed in a box in the center of the item. There
is a clause at the bottom of the check that reads: "Issued by Integrated
Payment Systems, Inc, Englewood, Colorado, Wells Fargo Bank LTD, NA, Los
Angeles, CA." Items presented to date have a facsimile signature of
Thomas W. Carey, and check numbers printed in the upper-right corner
vary from 10 to 11 digits. The MICR-encoded check number is the same on
all items, 054036; however, the account number varies. The routing
number is listed as 122037711, which is issued to First Interstate Bank
of Los Angeles, CA.
