Katie Scott called claiming I would have to appear in court in New York because my name and number were on the back of a bad check written there. She said the charges were being filed in New York and the company that received the check was based out of Atlanta. She gave me a case number and everything. She told me it may be linked to social networking and if I could figure out if I knew the woman to call her back. I called her back and told her I did not know the lady and asked who she worked for. She said Nationwide Investigation. She also said my number would be removed from the "system" since I didn't know the bad check writer. It was all a little fishy and after some research I found out she's a scammer. Take your mobile numbers off of your Facebook or other social networking accounts so that she can't use your number or your friends' info to run the more serious scam of saying you owe money!

A woman called my co-worker from this number claiming that they were filling felony charges against her for a check she had written in California, my co-worker has never had a checking account in California. She then told her she had until noon to go to Walmart and send a moneygram for $475.00 or she could sit tight "and someone would come pick her up". They then sent an email addressed to my co-worker but to our HR Rep stating outright that she owes them money and they we're going to have her arrested if she didn't pay. We work for a newspaper and I called them wanting to know where they we're located and said we are interested in doing a story on them. The woman that answered was very abusive and hung up on me. We reported them to our State Attorneys office, they said they had received a very similar complaint yesterday. They also have called from 904-683-6271
