I received a message from a Mike Jones via my parents phone number and they indicated to me that I was facing felony charges for writing a bad check. I am not aware of any check that I have written and I am concerned because they are contacting my parents instead of me. He stated to my father, that I have to contact him and when I did I got an answering machine stating to leave my name and case number. Has anyone heard of this individual or the company he represents?

I got this same call TWICE today. I didn't answer because I didn't recognize the number. They left a message stating that same thing about my daughter. Do NOT respond.

I just received the same kind of threatening message from "Investigator James" on my cell phone about a matter concering a supposed bad check.  He says he is from some division of Sheffield & Baker law firm.

I received a call from 312-912-7370, an investigator Cory from Sheffield & Baker lawfim called up a friend of mine, he called me that I was facing a felony charges, I called this numberthe person I spoke to claim to be an investigator about I am facing criminal charges due to a fraud check I wrote back in 2008, it hadto do with a loan that they claimed had to be paid,scary thing is they new my ss#, at first I thought it was ligit,he new all my information except my current mailing address which later I gave him, again thought this was real,  he tried negotionating with me and each time he put me on hold and claim that he was talking to the accout representativeabout payment arrangement. I agreedon arrangements and then hung up, I did not give out my any information on any type of payment as for my cc or bank account #,. Just for curiousity  I googled this number and found that this is a collection agencyclaiming people owe money.
I read some of other victims responses on how these so called investigators are fraudulantly harrassing people about funds and facing criminal charges.
I looked at my credit like I do all the time and no reports of me owing them or their affiliates a penny and checked my record and it is clean like it should be.

Same thing here. Cory claiming to be a collector and threatening me with a felony warrant. I asked him to send me all the information that he had so I can review it. He just danced around the issue. I could not locate any law firm named Sheffield & Baker.
It is a total scam and I will report them to the FTC.
