This is a scam. They call and leave a messag "This is Thomas Bates...blah blah blah...a decision has been been made on your behalf concerning a legal matter....blah blah blah....give me money or else!" I'm paraphrasing, but you get the gist. I don't owe anyone money. And even if I did, this is not how legal matters are handle. I reported this called to the Attorney General's Office. I suggest that anyone getting a call from this scam artist should do the same thing. The scammer gives the call back number as 850-546-6444

I received a call from this number. It was a recorded message from Thomas Bates saying that legal action would be filed against me within the next 24 hours.
Good thing I am well informed, otherwise I may freak out.
I to received the same call concerning "a decision that's been made on my behalf". The caller was Thomas Bates. I have no outstanding bills and I haven't received any mail concerning an outstanding debt. This is definitely a scam.
