Some financial professionals have reported receiving an e-mail appearing to come from NACHA that is actually a fraudulent phishing message. The e-mails have “Rejected ACH transaction” or “Your ACH transaction was rejected” in the subject line and a link to an “Unauthorized ACH Transaction Report” in the body of the e-mail. NACHA, which issued an alert today about the scam, warns to not click on the link, which routes to a fake Web site where downloadable malicious sofware may be waiting.

 Here’s how the e-mail appears, this one with the link deactivated:
