Obama pays your bills’ scam claims more victims
A multistate identity theft scam that claims President Barack Obama will pay your utility bills appears to have widened.
According to MSNBC.com, more than 2,000 customers in Tampa, Fla., fell for the fake offer last week.
The scheme was first reported in May, when Dallas-based Atmos Energy warned its 3 million customers in 12 states that scammers had been asking for Social Security numbers to enroll in the faux federal program. According to the pitch—distributed via email, Facebook, text message, phone and, in some cases, door-to-door sales—the government would pay a month of energy costs through credits offered by the Obama administration.

Dear Sir,
Re: Inquiry.
I write again to request your partnership in a legitimate high yield business transaction on funds placement / investment.
I occupy a position of advantage in government and can work with you to transfer money in US Dollars to your safe account. You will be presented as an expatriate consultant to government with valid documents and the funds will come to your account as a payment for consultancy services.
I need your full co-operation for the works and logistics. Any account will do. It does not matter whether it has any deposit in it or not. The kind of work you do is not a barrier. We will use my position to achieve a successful operation.
If this is possible with you, then treat as urgent and confidential as you reply for details and we can agree on terms of co-operation, investment and sharing.
Thanks,
A. Moh'd.
