scam ... didn't post a cash bond. Bail bondsman through credit card means state never had money that can now refund. This place is looking for you to send your personal info. Dude who answers the phone is very disciplined about not directly responding to questions seeking to verify the service. He reverts back to non-responsive dissertation about the counties the company deals with, or about the "normal" process as to why someone would be receiving their scam letter. It's kind of clever, and most certainly fools a fair amount of unsophisticated people. These people are scammers.
I mailed my passport cause I was skeptical about sending my state id and got a check within 2 months but I didn't get my full amount. it was some dollars short cause of dam court fees from broward county, but these people cant give me a break down of my fees!!!
I also received a letter from Tri County Refund Service with 2 forms to be filled out and notorized and a self addressed stamped envelope. The enclosed letter refers to a CASH bond of $100, which I never posted, andon the "assignment form" the last sentence reads "I hearby assign all rights in this Bond to Tri County Refund Service. I pulled up their web page and the small amount of information was vague and ambiguous. I've always been of the belief that when it comes to money any offer of what appears to be free money, and sounds too good to be true usually is too good to be true. I will not pursue this any further, instead I'll wait to see if they contact me again within the 60 day period I have to return the enclosed forms and picture I.D. After all they refer to people they recover Bond money for as "Clients". My experience has been that clients typically pay a fee for services when money changes hands. I don't want to find out that I owe this company any amount of money over and above the amount retrieved. The small print, with the * at the bottom of the letter states that the actual amount can vary from $63 to $97 depending on any unpaid court costs, fines, criminal obligations and processing fees. Still doesn't sound bad, but I NEVER POSTED A $100 CASH BOND.
The check was not signed and it stated FFRC Collection Inc. in Fort Lauderdale at a different address when I google it and Tri County Service inc. poped up. That was not the county I posted it. I contact them and they told me to send the check back.
