NACHA Phishing Alerts Back in the News!

Victims are receiving fraudulent e-mails that appear to be coming from NACHA, claiming that the Electronic Payments Association has rejected an ACH transaction initiated through their bank account. The message is signed by a non-existent employee.

NACHA is reminding its customers that it does not process or come into contact with the ACH transactions that flow to and from organizations and financial institutions. Further, NACHA does not send communications to individuals or organizations about individual ACH transactions that they originate or receive.

The organization encourages its customers to consult with a computer security or anti-virus specialist if malicious code is detected or suspected on a computer. It also urges customers to always use anti-virus software and ensure that the virus signatures are automatically updated. NACHA customers should stay alert for different variations of fraudulent emails, the company said.
