This 'attorney's office' wrote a letter to me with my full name stating that their law firm had been hired to represent the Lee County Clerk of Courts (which is the county I lived in at the time). They further stated in the letter that I was being held responsible for an unpaid traffic citation in the amount of $36.10. They warned that my drivers license would soon be suspended as well as possible prison time for me. I worry about other people believing this because they actually had my driver's license number. They asked for me to send a check or money order to the address (which was in Texas). I immediately called the number knowing this was a scam. My wife was out of town on the date they had given as my 'ticketing' date in a completely different county.
Well, needless to say, after telling 'Ivan' the operator, that his scam was up, he was totally unprofessional and never even pretended to act like this was real. He knew he had sent the letter to the wrong guy. It was not going to work for me. I said some rather unnice things and he was laughing saying, "Sir you are wasting your time, I have a lollipop in my mouth". When I threatened him with legal action, he said, "You are wasting your time that doesn't work."
Tomorrow I am going to the Lee County Courthouse and reporting this so -called law firm. Be careful!
