Well, we’ve probably all heard of the grandparent scam and the IRS scam. I’ve personally had friends tell me they received urgent calls claiming to be the IRS threatening arrest unless money is wired immediately. BUT now there’s a new one. Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell put out a warning that scammers are calling folks that filed bankruptcy, claiming to be from their lawyer, telling them to immediately wire money. Seems that the record of the filing indicates the lawyer’s name, making it easy pull off this impersonation. Generally, no lawyer will call with such instruction, and anyone receiving such a call should hang up and call the lawyer at the usual number to confirm the scam call. The scammers call after business hours making confirmation difficult. Assuming it is a scam, it should be reported to the local police.
