A new scam to con consumers has hit the market. A lead generation company called Legal Helpers Debt Resolution is mailing out forms which appear to be from the IRS or another government agency (see pictures below). These forms show your debt amount and claim to be a government run debt relief program called the “U.S. Debt Reduction Initiative”. They provide a toll free number so you can enroll. This mailing looks exactly like something you would receive from the IRS. It features a form number and a layout almost identical to many tax forms. Only a tiny disclaimer in extra small font tells you that this is not an actual government program.
If you receive this form, THROW IT AWAY! This company makes money by selling these “leads” to debt settlement companies. If they don’t make any money off this campaign, they will hopefully stop sending out these deceptive mailings.
