  This... Has to be someone familiar with this process/situation I would think. Unless the county posts all of the information required to pull off such a scam online (to be transparent or something).

  Still, how would they know when payment was due, amounts, that it hasn't already been paid, etc. I think someone is going to get caught.

  Please don't editorialise. The training bit is just a humorous jab best left as a comment.
