My sister emailed me this link and I thought it was so important to get the word out so no one falls for the scam.

People are actually pretending to be debt collectors and law enforcement officials to get your money. Check out the story in the link below.

Fake Debt Collectors

My brother had a great idea to fix the scammer. He said he'd create a bogus receipt and fax it to them from Kinko's to see how they like that!

Great information! Isn't it sad, and disgusting, how many scams are out there? Boy, there are tons of people wanting to just "steal" our money......too many too lazy to work at a "real" job, I guess! That's a neat idea your brother has about "fake receipts," though!
