My 13 year old daughter told me that some guy had called her Dad's house (I'm divorced 8 years) and that he was accusing me of check fraud and talked about criminal proceedings, etc. My daughter called me all upset. So, because it sounded serious, I called the gentelman. He said it was in regards to a check I wrote to Payless Shoe Source back in December.
All of the correspondence that they were sending via the mail was being sent to my ex-inlaws house where I have never lived. I told him that I wanted to see a copy of the supposed check that I wrote and he couldn't do that and it would be presented in court.
When he mentioned having a warrant issued for my arrest I was a little concerned. But, I don't write bad checks. He told me the check was for $35.00 but now I owe $155.00??? He said that I could only send it through Western Union which would have cost me an additional $30.00.
I called back after a week and told him I could pay in two installments and asked if they would take a money order, he said that was fine. All of the sudden it was okay to pay with a money order when a week ago they would only take a payment through Western Union? I spoke with a friend about this and he said it sounds like a scam. There has to be a statute of limitations.
So, at this point I'm not sending them anything. What a bunch of b.S. Someone seriously needs to put an end to this.
