I just received the same exact email this morning.

Received the same email -like they think people are so stupid that they will actually answer these kind of emails??!!!???

Just got the same email this morning. Wish someone will stop these people.

Report them:  See:  https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Also contact your local attorney general.

These e-mails are thought (by BBB) to be originating in New York state.

To report them to NY authorities see:   http://www.ag.ny.gov/debt-settlement/debt-collection-companies

This looks to me like something close to extortion.
