Scam is the nicest words; its not what they did, its what they didn't do.
About a year ago my wife was awarded a settelment in small claims court. The business in question still never made good on the claim. Some how the court records are open to Scam artists who mail you a very official looking letter and promise to collect your settelment for the small fee $20.
The next thing you hear is we are still trying to complete the collection. The next thing is we have not been succesfull by normal means to provide the service as promised however for an additional fee we will try again. Round and round we go. I called and the number was changed.
It is not the small amount of money that realy bothers me it is the deception and the fact that the courts assist this process by giving out the information which allows these scams to exist.
Of course no one is really to blame— Like POGO said "We have met the enemy and they is us"
