There are many ways in which this described matter is a scam. Let's start with the obvious:
Government workers do NOT tell a person that they must pay "IMMEDIATELY" using traveler's checks or some kind of strange money transfer. This is the first clue that something is amiss. If a bill or invoice needs to be paid, it must be paid through official U.S. Government approved methods. This does not mean that a traveler's check needs to be used or an untraceable money transfer system will be used.
Think of when taxes are paid. Your Federal income taxes are paid by check with the check made out to some part of the "United States Government."
Why would you be asked to pay a bill to the U.S. Government but the method of payment will not be addressed to the U.S. Government?
