Received a call from this company. It was only a recorded message. Nothing you can do but call them back. The message they leave is basically "they have a case set to be released to the county on an L&P order on a worthless check. they also stated the case has been documented that I waived my right to counsel, but they are trying to verify that I have an attorney to accept the service to process." When you call back you get someone who answers the phone "fraud division" or some vague name. They absolutely refuse to give out the name of their company but their caller ID says "Recovery State". After being told by the first person, a man, that he was with the "Fraud and Worthless Check Division of the State of California". I asked for more details because it seemed off someone from the State of California would be calling me about a worthless check and not mailing me something. I told him I needed more details in order to give it to my attorney. He then told me to just have my attorney contact them and hung up on me. I called back and was transferred twice to someone calling herself Stella LaRue who claimed to be an attorney located in Washington DC. I got her exact spelling, looked her up in the DC Bar website and Martindale.com website... guess what? No one by that name anywhere in the entire US who is an attorney. She acted as though she was thrown into my case and didn't have my details. She then asked for my phone number and said she would call me back. Interesting that she wanted my phone number when the first thing she did when she got my transferred call was to ask me if my phone number was ... Obvious liars and scam artists. Beware of this company and these people with their illegal business and debt collection tactics.
