Online users, be aware of fake "Legal Department for Debt Collection and Bank Fraud" email messages like the one below that claim that legal proceedings and debt collection procedures will be taken against them under the Federal Fair Debt Collection Act(Lawsuit). The fake email messages are being sent by scammers to trick the recipients into sending them money by threatening legal actions. Therefore, recipients of the fake email messages which appear as if they came from a so-called Legal Depart USA, should delete and not follow the instructions in them.
It is important that the public takes precautions when asked to send money via money transfer services like Western Union and MoneyGram, or Prepaid Debit Card to pay legal services or the government. This is because scammers use those untraceable money transfer services to collect money from their victims. Money sent via those services are not refundable, once the scammers have collected or used it.

Court proceedings will be issued within 72 hours from the date of this letter if the account has not been settled. You will be prosecuted for Following Allegations;
Bank Fraud

There will be no further warnings made for demands of payment. Court proceedings can include the additional expense of legal costs and interest being added to the balance of this account. It is regrettable that it has come to this point and court action is still avoidable if immediate and full settlement of this account is made.
