Ok so my sister has an online business that is doing really well. I don't know if these scammers got her info from off the internet but I thought this information would be useful for everyone.

So my sister gets a call a couple of days ago from someone that says they are with a collection agency for the Government. They tell her that she is being charged with Check Fraud and that two officers will be at her home the next day to escort her to prison. They had her SSN and Bank account number. This guy continues by telling her that she will have a $3- 5,000 fine and that she can pay it now to avoid charges etc. Well she checked online and found out they were a scam so told him "nice try" and then hung up. The fact is this is pretty scarry that they had all this info and although it seems a little fishy, it can also be convincing if they have your info.

No matter what anyone wants from you stall and look their "company" up online and there should be some info as to weather or not they are a scam. Be Careful!

Thanks for the info.
