I received a threatening letter from JBC Legal Group saying that I had created an obligation and did not fulfill it when I "passed the bad check (s) listed below." It was ostensibly a check from 2000. Only problem - I had never heard about anything like that - I don't believe I ever bounced check a check in my life. So I "bit" and called them.
They gave me the same runaround you see on all the other complaints. When I requested documentation she hung up on me. I called the bank, who said there was no problem with the check, that it had been cashed years ago. So I decided to have a little fun with these guys. I called the police, who called JBC. JBC yelled at the State Trooper, who was not amused. He went straight to the bank to pick up the check and then on to the DA's office. From there he went to the State AG who opened a case. Then I filed a complaint with the FTC. I filed a complaint with the NJ State Attorney Office.
I cooperated with the NY State Attorney's office and submitted statements and documentation. I filed a complaint with the BBB. Thinking this was way too much fun to have all by myself I then called the local TV station, who ran a scam report on the news and they received numerous calls from others, who are all being referred to the Consumer Protection Board and the NY State AG Office.
Meanwhile, I keep calling back to JBC asking questions and they keep piling on more and more threats that are going straight into the case against them. GET BUSY folks - you can have a LOT of fun with these guys - cost THEM some time and $ (and eventually play a role in shutting them down). Good luck!
