This is a scam company called Preliminary Prosecutions. They say they are part of the Check Fraud Department of the State of Texas. Per the Texas Attorney General's Office, no such thing exists. This "company" uses scare tactices to urge call recipients to give up their banking or credit card information. They will tell you that you bounced a check with a payday loan company and if you don't pay you will be arrested or taken to court. In most states, the county sherriff's office will deal with bounced checks, not a collection company. DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION. If you have taken out a payday loan, contact THAT company if you're worried about your check bouncing. I was told by the Attorney General's Office that some customer lists from national payday loan companies have been compromised and this scam is running rampant. If they call you, just hang up!

I just received a call today from them they had me speak with their "litigator" Cindy Moore she claims to be investigating a check fraud for a cash advance from 2007. They don't even have an amount for the initial cash advance. I asked for the attorneys name that was handling the case the name she gave was "error Erwin and assoc" . She claims that if I don't pay this money back today (over 4000.00) then I will be prosecuted and placed in jail. I sure am glad I came across this site. Thank you.
