RE: Worthless Instruments of The United Cities Corp., Miami, FL

The above-named maker has been issuing worthless checks drawn on an unknown entity by the name of TUC Private Currency Office and using an invalid ABA routing number of 079457847. The checks contain an address of 3501 West Vine Street, Suite 315, Kissimmee, FL 34741 for TUC Private Currency Office. These valueless instruments have been presented for deposit at a number of U.S. banks.

Because the checks do not contain the necessary information to collect the funds, these items should not be accepted for payment or deposit. Anyone who has acquired any of these instruments should not attempt to negotiate them, but rather contact his or her local United States Secret Service office.
