8662131714

Thank you!  That should help others.

Beware of cross services there are alot of complaints against them for not picking up. on 888-826 3127 . this is the number to cross services. the 866-213-3127 does no show on VA database.

Go to your computer and type in 3 words, Top Class Action-----You will see many class action lawsuits about robo calls like this -----and many settlements/pay outs to the people who bring or join in these lawsuits.

If it was a letter, go to your Post Office and talk to a Postal Inspector, the Post Office gets upset about MAIL FRAUD!

If you notice, they fake letter has real information on it from the U.S. Department of the Treasury; however, the contact information under "how can I stop this?" is the fake scammers information. It does look legitimate unless you know that 866-213-1717 and Debt Management Servicing Center is not associated in any way with the U.S. Government. I called the real number, 1-800-304-3107 at the Treasury and they had no idea this was going on. They told me to contact the AG office in Birmingham and see what they suggest, and keep the letter, but don't call or provide any information to the debt company. I wish people would not go by  the fact it looks like a legitimate letter and they were smart enough to put a real phone number in the letter; although they suggest you can only call them to settle the debt. It's fake. It's not the U.S. Department of the Treasury who sent the letter, they copy and pasted their own information under How can I stop this to trick you.

You called the right number, 800-304-3107. They don't know that this scammer has inserted their own information into the letter. You have to actually talk to an agent at the ..3107 number. That is the real number. They don't know anything about the company noted and will have you contact AG.

I received two different envelopes of this same notice, four copies in each envelope. Same as others, you cannot get through to the number. I called for the final time about 30 minutes before they were supposed to be closed and the recording said they were closed. This is certainly a scam, thank for your informative post.

Did you check with the VA?

Any questions about Treasury collection call the TREASURY OFFSET PROGRAM 800-304-3107 PRESS 2 AND THEN PRESS 5 FOR ALL OTHER INQUIRIES OF COURSE NUMBERS CHANGE BUT THIS WORKED for me in April 2016

You should go to police and make a complaint of fraud.  If you used a cc or debit card go to your bank and see if the transaction can be reversed for fraud.  I'm  pretty sure that money went to the pockets of the scammers.  If you have an address for these scammers, please post it here.

Any documents received by US mail which appear fraudulent, should be taken down to the local post office so that the postal
inspectors can take a look at them.  This is mail fraud.

Anyone in receipt of these clearly fraudulent letters should take them to the local post office and request that the postal inspectors look into the mailings.  This is clearly mail fraud.

I JUST received the same letter >   anything beocme of this?

FAKE FAKE FAKE  like most of the NEWS!

And in my envelope ... I received THREE of the same letter!
FAKE FAKE FAKE
SCAM SCAM SCAM

This phone number is using an official looking letter to scam people out of social security benefits. This needs to stop right away!

Maybe this link will help. This is a legit letter. I was convinced it was fake as well. https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/fsservices/go ... p_VHAnotice.htm

Received same letter from U.S Department of Treasury dated 03/08/17 threatening to take funds from my SS funds.

The letter states that I owe the 'Bureau of Fiscal Service'

I called the 888-826-3127 which is the number i found on the website at https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/fsservices/go ... contact_dms.htm which I checked the whois database for the url and it is registered to the Treasury department

When I talked to the person on the other line i asked about the 866-213-1714 and it is one of the numbers they use

its for the VA,  So if you owe the VA for anything that's what it might be for

The letter states that I owe the 'Bureau of Fiscal Service'

This sounds worth checking carefully.  There is indeed a "Bureau of Fiscal Service" and there are also a few scams noted on the .gov web site.  There is even a thread here on 800notes that is related.  https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-888-826-3127
In general, I am a fan of read, listen and verify with a phone number you look up and call for yourself.

My father received this letter from them! This is a fraud, I called them number and as I was on hold something didn't seem right and I stumbled across this post. Total fraudulent. DO NOT send them anything. Scammers @ 1-866-213-1714

Actually.  I called the US Dept of Treasury official number from their official website and this number  and used the official line, where you enter your information to find out if you have any offsets, and 866-213-1714 was given to me as an agency that I have an offset amount for.  So this number is valid, to a Federal agency (my guess is VA or state).  I triple checked and even used the automated service twice just to make sure.  This number was given to me both times.

This phone number is not listed on the official government website.  Nothing even close to an 866 number.
