“We wanted to make sure to get out into the community and let people know, to be aware that they may be receiving mail that is fraudulent and that is a scam,” said Letcher.
The BBB said they have received 90 scam reports since December with a staggering 69 reports filed just within the last two weeks.
“It’s directly targeting people saying that they have a loan that they haven’t paid and this is a debt consolidation or a debt repayment, and so that they need to repay the loan that’s outstanding,” said Letcher.
