Pres. Obama Did Not Approve This Message
Scam operators running the so-called "Bill Payment Government Assistance Program" targeted distressed borrowers with promises of paying off the consumer's debt for an advance service charge of $900 to $1,100. Their YouTube video purported an endorsement from the president with a recording of him saying "I approve this message." The FTC is seeking to shut the operators down. [8/25/14]
