Yeah. A guy by the name of Chebat owns (owned?) a couple of fraud shops & the A.G. handed him his [***] on a plate. Check Systems being one of them. In 2012 Chebat paid hefty fines and was ordered to comply with state & federal regulations. As is normal in the fraud capitol of the western hemisphere (Buffalo) those orders were quickly forgotten & business continued as usual. Now there are more cases making there way to court & I hear that there's a guy named Eric in Albany who is cooperating with them. I think the AG is a bit miffed at being ignored!
It's just no longer a good idea to be a "Buffalo Boy" anymore. The tide has turned & "Good Riddance"!
Have a great Thanksgiving Res.!

Received a call from this number claiming to be Chex Systems. Call went to my Voicemail stating I needed to contact them within 24-48 hours or funds would be withdrawn from my checking account. When I called the number left on my caller ID they answered the phone as "processing". When I asked if they were Chex Systems they wanted to get my personal info. When I insisted they state that they were Chex Systems they hung up. I called the number that was left on Voicemail as their contact number (469) 708-0070. Same results as above, call went to processing, a different person, but hung up when I insisted they state they were Chex Systems. Be very wary of these numbers. My next step is to report them to the police/sheriff.
I received the same call today and I contacted Chex System, my bank and the local sheriff and everyone said that this is against the law and not to call or give information. I hope this helps!!
Caller said they would withdraw funds from my bank acct if I didn't call 469-708-0700 (caller id showed 415-697-0488) within 24-48 hrs. Who are these harassers?
ChexSystems is a credit reporting agency concentrating on bank accounts. It collects consumer financial *information* and *NOT THEIR MONEY*. I would bet you all are hearing lies from some fraudulent debt collector, probably for payday loans. They will want you to think you have no rights and that you're a criminal for allegedly owing debt. Get wise and don't be their pigeon.

What's happening here Res. is that these folks are being harassed by "Check Systems". They are a very shady NY outfit that's been on my radar for about two years now. They are highly unscrupulous, bogus debt collectors. They are becoming very desperate & their lives are soon to become much, much worse. The FTC & the NY State Atty. Generals office are already very well aware of them.
They can be safely ignored & they most likely will not be in business through the next year.
Live Well.
