Check Processing Bureau Enforcement Division It scared the crap out of me when I opened my mail and read I had issued fraudulent checks. New York New York

I received a very "official" looking letter from the Check Processing Bureau Enforcement Division stating that I had written fraudulent checks totaling $738.09. It informed me that check fraud was a crime in the State of Florida, that numerous unsuccessful attempts had been made by collection agencies, and that this was my last opportunity for an amicable resolution.

"Official" looking or not, I knew I wasn't about to send off any of my hard-earned money without a lot of research. Sure enough, no company of this name is listed in a search of the New York Yellow Pages and none of the businesses I "owed" could be located anywhere near where I live presently or lived previously. I made a call to the State Attorney's Office, then to the Sheriff's Office. The deputy responding suggested I Google Check Processing Bureau Enforcement Division, complete with address, and BINGO, there they were...frauds.

I'm glad when I called their 888# that I didn't leave a name, case number, or contact number and suggest you don't either.
