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

The above-named bank has reported that counterfeit
cashier's checks issued in the bank's name and using a
correct routing number of 086300012 are being presented 
for payment nationwide in connection with various lottery
scams.   

The counterfeit items presented to date have been dark 
blue, green, and purple in color and are printed on versa
stock paper.  The instruments appear to have a security 
statement along the top border.  The items have neither a
remitter line nor a security statement along the bottom 
of the check.  Correspondence accompanying the 
counterfeit items alerts the recipients of their winning
status in either a sweepstakes or lottery.  Copies of the
correspondence are not available at this time.
