Over the last several decades, America has truly transitioned into a debtor society. Despite tough economic times, consumers are more likely to borrow than they are to delay when making a purchase.

Opportunistic con artists posing as "fake" debt collectors recognize this as an area of vulnerability and are more than willing to use it to their advantage.
These fake debt collectors speak English with a foreign accent and call themselves "Affidavit Consolidation Services," Criminal Bureau of Identity," "U.S. National Bank," "US Justice Department/Payday … (0 comments)
