Received notification from a "Law Firm" stating they were trying to collect $464.70 for two checks written in 1995 on a Wachovia account. One check was in the amount of $59.64 and the other for $75.26. I called the bank, who I never held an account with and they could not find a record of the account. I called the number listed on the letter and got repeated busy signals and then did a search on the internet for the firms name and saw only several messages stating, "DO NOT PAY THESE PEOPLE! THIS IS A SCAM!"
After recieving a second notification, I again tried to contact the firm and finally got an answer from someone who informed me that I must get an affidavit from Wachovia stating that the account was not mine. After contacting the bank for a second time, they told me that they had to have copies of the checks as again they had no record of the account. I contacted the company back and was hung up on when I told the lady what the bank had said. I called again and in the process of waiting for copies of the checks which they say they may have copies of somewhere. We'll see.
