It has been brought to the Court's attention that someone may be impersonating creditors in an attempt to defraud debtors. In one instance, the alleged creditor contacted a debtor seeking to settle a legitimate notice of default and demanded payments in the form of gift cards.

Please let your clients know about these types of scams and advise them to alert you if they are contacted about payments on notices of defaults or any other payments, especially those requesting gift cards or other forms of payment.
