InfoSec Alert: Lottery Scam Using First American Name

From Firstam Chief Information Security Officer [from.firstam.chiefinformationsecurityofficer@firstam.com]

To: All Employees


Attention First American Employee:

The Corporate Office of Information Security was recently alerted to an apparent mail scam that may be directed at consumers who have used First American's services. According to reports, consumers are being notified that they have won a foreign lottery, and the process of collection involves a check that appears to be from First American.

First American is in no way associated with this activity, and we are actively working with the U.S. Secret Service to investigate and put a stop to the fraudulent use of our name. If you receive any inquiries regarding this activity, please inform the individual that First American is not involved in any type of lottery and advise them to file a report with their local Secret Service office. A list of the agency's field offices can be found on the Secret Service Web site at www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml.

Thank you.

Al Kirkpatrick
Vice President
Chief Information Security Officer
The First American Corporation
