Information to help others in reporting what appears to be a social engineering approach to data exfiltration.

The domain USDAvendors.us is held by Gryphon Financial Group. See the whois lookup at:
http://www.whois.net/whois/usdavendors.us

The Administrative POC for the domain is listed as Denise Olson, and public records indicate her to be a *former* project manager with the company.

...

As a follow up, Gryphon Financial Group, Inc. has never been issued a Certificate of Authority by the Louisiana Secretary of State and is not in compliance with LOUISIANA REVISED STATUTES, §§ 12:301 and 12:321. The company has no lawful authority to operate within Louisiana.

...  etc etc etc

saw that too - all I'm saying is USDA has notified us that yes they hired Gryphon and if we want to respond we can - seems like the USDA is  looking for open a/r credits that the USDA hasn't taken or open credits that indicate overpayments - my guess is that Gryphon will receive a % of what's collected

if they don't have the authority to operate within Louisiana, as William posted....

This is a legit USDA phone inquiry for a trial balance aging for their accounts. I deal with them on a monthly/quarterly basis.
