I got a call from this number and the man said his name is Eric and that he is an attorney and trying to settle with me a debt from a past payday loan. Said that he had some files in his office that are going to be filed in court and that he could avoid me having to go to court by paying a settlement offer.Asked him to send me a letter in the mail with his law firm info and payment request. Got a cheap hand typed out letter on the computer not even proffessional looking..Not beliveing he is an attorney..

i had the same situations did you end up finding out if your case was a fraud

I have just received a hand delivered summons sent from Eric Carmichael, from a place called Recovery Solutions out of Corona Ca.  This is for a debt long passed.  The actual square in the upper right hand corner where the courts would stamp a date with filed on it is not stamped.  The stamp for the clerk looks like it has been mostly whitened out  and the file number is very vague as if it could be fake. Says for the Superior court of the state of California county of Riverside. Don't know.  If anyone else has had this done, maybe you could shed some light on this if you have any info.

You can contact the Court this alleged summons came from directly to verify the validity.  Does it even have a date to appear?  You should be able to either check online or by phone to see if the document is valid.

Your right, it sounds suspicious..  I'd call the actual court clerk there and inquire, and tell them all this.  They should also be able to tell you if its real or a fakeroo..
