They're back in business.
Robotic voice on message machine: "We are calling concerning a returned item from your bank. If you do not return our call we will be forced to purse this matter to the fullest legal extent in your state."
I wrote one check last year, it cleared without incident. Had it not cleared my bank would have first walloped me for a $35.00 finance charge. Other account holders in this household have overdraft protection.
Sounds like a scam to me.

I have received numerous calls from this number. They automatically play a message saying they are attempting to recover money for a bad check, and if the call is returned they will have no choice but to pursue it to the fullest extent of the law. Then hang up. They asked for my son when the call was returned. Said they would have him arrested and that they already had a warrant for it. Interesting!! Seeing as my SON doesn't even write out checks!!
