#3 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Baughan Productions identity theft victim
AUTHOR: Tim Nixon - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, October 31, 2010
As the owner of Baughan Productions, Inc., my company's name and address were used as the return address in hundreds of these mailings using UPS Express service. A fake UPS number enabled these packages to be delivered. UPS then used the real account number to charge my company thousands of dollars in shipping fees. After 18 months of this scam, hours of phone calls to-my-home from victims at all times of day and night, working with a very helpful, if not clueless UPS, and one death threat, the mailings stopped. The last call was from a lawyer who received one of these checks and he vowed to find the people responsible. He said he had the time and inclination to do it, unlike law enforcement or the Federal Trade Commission as each scam was under $1,000 and not worth their time. Bottom line: This happened with just my company's name and address, which appears here for all eternity connected to a check scam!

Same Scam In Dallas, Texas

Received cashiers check for $26,000 for sale of car. $6,000 to be sent to agent and shipper in Atlanta,GA. I could keep the $20,000 asking price.
Exactly the same details as the check received by Rod in Indiana; MobilOil,
Lowell Arkansas, same account number and routing number. My check was mailed from Malaga, Spain.
Sending the cashiers check to the fraud Dept. of Bank Of America.
Beware, very slick.
