I got a message from Investigator Hall from the processors office in the L.A. Counties Fraud Department. She wanted me to call this number and talk to an Attorney James Reed, regarding a summons date. I called it and got an answering machine. No I am not leaving them any information about my identity than they may already have from Facebook or other sources.

These people are a Scam, please contact the NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS Office at ph#716-853-8404  

Do not Pay these people anything call the Attorney general listed above and tell them what they said. Its not a criminal charge. The post above was just one of there employees trying to scare you.


Call!!!! DONT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH ANYMORE MONEY FROM INNOCENT PEOPLE

Actually, this is a Check Verification Company and could very well do collection work around here as well.

That is a check cashing company. I dont think you have your facts straight

a bad check is not a bill. You could get in alot of trouble. You should be ready, and not listen to KB. He is just a deadbeat

Thats what you should do. Convince everyone its ok to write bad checks with no reprocussions. You should be ashamed of yourself, but they should be even more ashamed if they listen to you run your mouth when you have no idea what your talking about.

A worthless check? You do realize that is illegal right? I know someone that had charges pressed against them for writing a 750.00 bad check, & because he didnt show for his court date he now he has an outstanding warrant. Anyone of you that think writing bad checks is "nothing," might want to try calling your local sheriffs department and have them explain to you your states bad check laws...here is a few for everyones viewing pleasure:

State of Texas: Issuing a bad check in the State of Texas is a criminal offense under Sec. 32.41 of the Penal Code of the Texas Statutes.

South Dakota: First offense: a fine of not more than $100 or imprisonment for not more than 30 days or both. Second offense: a fine of not more than $300 nor less than $100 and imprisonment of not more than 6 months or less than 30 days. Third and subsequent offenses: a fine of not more than $500 nor less than $300 and imprisonment for not more than one year nor less than 6 months. Felony: Up to 3 years and not more than $1,000 fine.

Florida: In a criminal prosecution, the maker of the worthless check may be subject to a misdemeanor charge if the violation involves a misdemeanor in the check amount is less than $150.00, or a felony if the check is in excess of that amount. (Section 832.05(4)(c).)

Arkansas: If the maker of the check fails to pay the check as demanded, and is determined to be guilty, he may be subject to fines between $50 and $2,000 and/or imprisonment in the county jail or regional detention facility for a period between 30 and 90 days if the amount of the bad check is less than $200 and depending on the number of offenses.    The maker of a bad check may be prosecuted for a felony charge if the amount of the bad check is more than $200.  (Ark. C. 5-37-305.)

North Carolina: The issuance of a worthless check may constitute a Class I felony under §14-107 of the North Carolina General Statutes if the amount of the check is more than $2,000, or a misdemeanor if the amount of the check is $2,000 or less.

WHO WANTS ME TO CONTINUE?? Unbelievable

So I just got the same message saying they would press criminal charges for check fraud if I didn't return the call.

@KB what did you say to them? or what did they threaten to do? I'm at a loss to what this could be about so I want to be ready.

The call was blocked, it was from Investigator Hunter, a processor from the Erie county fraud department. She wanted me to call about a felony check charge that would be served to my home or place of employment. She alleged that court proceedings could go forward without my knowledge. I called back, after finding out that a worthless check was not a felony. The guy who answered the phone was argumentative, and said that he would email me information.  
This is a bill collection agency, nothing more.
