Electronic payments association warns of new phishing scam
The Electronic Payments Association said it has received reports that individuals and/or companies have received a fraudulent e-mail that has the appearance of having been sent from National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA). The subject line of the e-mail states: “Unauthorized ACH Transaction.” The e-mail includes a link that redirects the individual to a fake Web page and contains a link that is almost certainly an executable virus with malware.

The letters -- marked with a bogus SBA letterhead -- tell recipients that the agency is assessing their eligibility for a tax rebate under the economic stimulus law, and asks them for their bank account number and the bank.
