NCRS-Debt Collect Collection Scam by mail Concord North Carolina

I just received a letter from NCRS-DEBT Collect claiming that I owe 289.99 in additional fees and that all attempts to reach me have failed. The letter is poorly written, has phone numbers written in pen and ASAP in black magic marker. The letter threatens legal action if I do not mail them the money by 3/31 ( letter was mailed on 3/22).

If they do not get the money I risk $300 in more fees plus legal fees which will be costly. The letter is full of exclamation points and bold print. I knew the letter looked fraudulent but called the number out of curiousity and got a recording. Left a message. Then I called my local police department and set up an appt to file an attempted fraud report.

Then I will be filing with the US postal service for attempted mail fraud. The letter is obviously meant to scare people in hopes that they will send money in the obviously stamped envelope provided, which has a different address from the letter..in fact the provided envelope address, the address on the envelope the letter came in and the address at the top of the letter...NONE of them match..they are all different!!! I hope they catch these scumbags that are out there trying to hustle hardworking, honest people who in a moment of fear send their hard-earned money.

By the way after reading another one of the letters on this site, I began to think about a young man who came door to door selling magazines...he was with a company from back east...the magazine never came so I wrote off the 19.99....I wonder if that is how they got my name and address. Supposedly the magazines were being sold to help poor inner city youth finish school. Wonder if there is a connection.
