Online users who have received so-called "Debt Settlement Division Inc" emails like the one below, which claim that they have been given a chance to settle Federal Collection debt outside of court, should delete the email messages and not follow the instructions in them. This is because the email messages are fraudulent, and are being sent by scammers to trick the recipients into sending them money believing that they will be sued for money owed and their credit history tarnished.

Good Morning Shawn Brooks ,
The Amount Due on your name $490.00 your due date to payment was April 20th, 2018, you're already late for the payment.
If you do not pay your payment till today then as per the penalty clause we'll charge you $5.00 per day.
As per the Laws of Fair Practice of Debt Collection Service, we have the authority under section 28-B Column. We can charge you $5.00 penalty on a day if you skipped your payment from the specific date that we agreed on. Ex. if you late for two days then we will charge you $10.00 extra for your payment. In Case of Emergency, you inform us before about your payment and re-schedule of your payment NO CHARGE will cost to you.
And if you didn't show up on your payment dates then, its consideration as a violation of the law and without sending any notice we will take action in your case.
Thanks and Regards
Debt Settlement Division Inc.
