The California Department of Insurance says bogus checks bearing the name of the department and purportedly signed by the Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones are being circulated.
CDI said the fraudulent checks are being presented as a "payment" or "refund" from CDI. Department officials said CDI does not issue such checks and is warning consumers and businesses to be on alert.
To date, checks have been found in California and five other states, with values between $2,000 and $5,000.
Consumers or business operators with suspicious checks are being asked to contact CDI at (909) 919-2200.
