Fake attorney claiming that I owe some company $500; Platinum B Services. The information lists my name and address from about 6 years ago but the date of the alleged claim is 5 years ago when I lived 1500 miles away. I did have some identity theft issues 6 years ago (one of the reasons I moved). They threatened to throw me in jail, report my SSN to the "courthouse" and I would never be able to work again, etc. Ridiculous that these companies hire this dishonorable people making all these threats.
I know it's against the law for a lawyer to threaten criminal action against someone for a collection matter, but these folks went beyond just threatening criminal action. Their letterhead is designed to look like they are writing from the US attorney's office or Department of Justice. The whole thing is smelly and wreaks of a scam, maybe.

Just Received Same Notice
AUTHOR: TD - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, May 23, 2011
I am so happy that I googled Jerry Smith, Attorney, and found this report. I just received the exact same thing. Is this or could this be real or a scam? Yes, I have had online loans, but if there were ever an issue, I have always solved them within sufficient time with the actual companies. The information listed in their email also lists me working at a previous employment company, and states it was in 2007. Incredibly odd to me they have NOT been able to reach me in 3 years?? I have had the same exact mailing address since 2009, and the same exact phone number since 2002. Why am I just now hearing something about this issue, if it is indeed real? Jerry Smith's name is listed, but the email has a signed name of Attorney, Patrick Marsh. The letter attached to the email does look legitimate, but again it sounds exactly what you are reporting. It also includes the exact same four allegations listed in this very similar article. Scheme or real?
