    Be warned.
    They don't pay you any interest on it either.

    I just heard today of a scam involving commercial trucking, the trucking company gets a letter from the scammer saying their DOT credentials are out of date and they'll remedy the matter for a price, but the whole thing is a scam.

    Another one I personally get over the phone often involves some sort of energy rebate, they mention an electric company that I'm not using, so it's a scam.
