Scam That Obama To Pay Utility Bills Making Rounds
The South Bend (in) Tribune ^ | Staff

OSCEOLA -- It's a new scam, said the Better Business Bureau. President Barack Obama is not offering to pay your utility bills.

In the scam, which recently hit Michiana, consumers are being contacted in person and through fliers, social media and text messages with claims that Obama is providing credits or applying payments to utility bills.

People are then asked to provide their Social Security and bank routing numbers in order to receive the money. In exchange, they are given a phony bank routing number that they are told will pay their utility bills

Well, it IS the Obama Way...create a problem, then take credit for saying you’ll fix it while only making things worse.

No wonder he’s been begging for money, the stash must be running low...

The scammers are using an excellent approach.

Given all the goodies that Baraq hands out, I’m sure this is very believable for a lot of folks. High probability of success.

The only question is how much in liquid assets do they have to plunder?

How can the BBB be 100% positive this is a scam and NOT a campaign vote-buying give-away? Maybe the Election Commissioner should be investigating, not the BBB.

A whole lot of parasites will. They jump at the word “free”. Remember how they flocked for that Obama stash? Useless wastes of skin.

Sad that they are targeting working Hispanic people. Unfortunately there are a lot of grifters in, and, preying on the Hispanic community...which is what Osceola County mostly is now

BBB does not investigate criminal activity, they report it to the PoPo.

Some people fall for anything. That is why Obama is in the White House. Funny, though, anyone who believes probably is already part of the “entitlement crowd” and probably has little $ in a bank account, if they even have one at all.
