Throughout the country, various public and private agencies exist to help parents get the child support they are due. Whether you are using one of these to help collect child support or you are paying child support to such an agency, you should do your research because some of them are scams.
One example was recently the subject of a U.S. Postal Service investigation. According to Courthouse News Service, the USPS is seeking a restraining order and injunction authorizing it to seize mail sent to Child Support Services of Atlanta, Inc.
The Postal Service alleges that Child Support Services of Atlanta does business under various names that cause people to think that it is a state agency in various states, including Mississippi. Supposedly, the company would find victims using public records, then flood them with telemarketing and mail solicitations, including threats of arrest. Many victims were not under child support orders, but Child Support Services would allegedly tell the victims that their licenses could be suspended and wages garnished if they did not get the child support they demanded.
Have you been the victim of any such scam? Tell me about it in the comments below.
