This is a fraudulent email. It was not sent by the Federal Reserve. Do NOT click on any of the
links.
Be aware that phishing emails frequently have attachments and/or links to Web pages that host
malicious code and software. Do not open attachments or follow Web links in unsolicited emails
from unknown parties or from parties with whom you do not normally communicate, or that appear
to be known but are suspicious or otherwise unusual.
