If you get a phone call that talks about relieving your debt as an
organic farmer look out!! It is a scam. They have started calling our
Michigan farmers so spread the word and "Just Say NO". If you have
caller ID write down the number and if the number is an 801 area code,
which is what several have experienced, call the police in Draper, UT
(801) 576-6550 to confirm what the farmers in Iowa said.

We have been contacted by these guys. I have called the police in
Draper, UT and they said they were on their way to check things out. I
am going to call them back today. Don't fall for it!
