U.S. Trustee Program Warns Consumers of Bankruptcy Fraud Alert Scam

The U.S. Trustee Program (USTP) is warning consumers about a scam targeting debtors via letters falsely accusing them of failing to disclose assets in bankruptcy cases. The letters are sent from the "Bankruptcy Fraud Watchdog Group," and victims are instructed to pay a one-time "amnesty" fee of $450 in Bitcoin via a QR code to avoid further legal consequences.

For more information on this scam, please visit the USTP blog post. If you receive any contact from the "Bankruptcy Fraud Watchdog Group" or other suspicious communications, please contact the Oregon USTP at (503) 326-4000 or (541) 465-6330.
