I received a voicemail from DJW Procedings. First they had called my mother then my husband before calling my cell phone. The guy who left the message said that his name was Jason Nolan. He said that there are formal charges pendant to be filled against me our of my current county. He said he was "completely concerned" that I was going to be blind sided by the enforcement of this charge because there was not response to a 10 day notice that I never received.
I called the number and ask what this case was about. He said that it was about a "Merchant" was filing charges against me for check fraud for a bad check I had written in 2010. I told him that there had to be a mistake and I had paid the bank back for the checking account that had been closed for insufficient funds. He said he would hold the case for 24 hours so I can prove that I paid that debt off. The next day I told him that I needed to know the exact documentation I needed to present to him because, my attorney wanted to make sure I had everything I needed. He then yelled at me and said that if I can't prove that i paid off a debt then I was going to go to jail. I then ask to talk to his supervisor. Jason Nolan put me on hold then supposedly someone named Mr. Walker answered the phone, but his voice sounded exactly the same as Jason Nolan. So then I told him that I was willing to work with them and then he said that the check was written for $100 and that the fees were going to bring it up to $300 and that I can make a payment over the phone with my credit card or write them a money order and he would be happy to transfer me to the accounting dept. so I don't have to go to jail. I knew this was complete scam so I played along just to see how far these people would go. My call was transferred to a Ms. Dani North. I told Ms. North that I was not going to give my money blindly to their company unless I had some documentation for what exactly I'm paying for. She said that she would e-mail me the documents I needed and took down my e-mail address. I informed her how unprofessional Mr. Nolan was and she apologized to me assuring me that she would send me an e-mail so I can send them a moneygram money order for $525.36. I told her that I was a Notary Public and that if I had anything pending I wouldn't have gotten my commission because of the background checks conducted in the State of California. She was dead silent and hung up the phone.

If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because, being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking), the only thing they understand.

Guy called me named David claiming I owed from a check into cash 3 years ago. Said they would file a felony case against me if i did not pay by tomorrow. He had an incredible amount of my personal information. I recently had paid for a background check and I'm thinking that could be where he got all the information. Anyways he stayed on the phone with me for over an hour. Kept transferring me to all kinds of people. Placing me on hold. Anyways he was extremely rude and obviously fraud. Do not give any information! Call the collection agency first.
