They called me too. Left a message and said they were trying to get a hold of some to serve papers. Did not know this person

Called saying they had legal documentation to serve about fraudulent checks and can contact them at phone: 8777240961 . Said would try to contact at residence or job. Dont know what they are talking about i dont write checks or have checks. Help!

They called my aunt saying that someone was using my social security number to cash checks and I needed to call them because the people that the checks belong to were going to press charges and the authorities would be at my house. I don't know who they are but I'm not falling for it because when others have called to try to scam me out of money and want me to western union or money gram money to them I tell them to send the me the paperwork of proof and they won't do it so I figure if it is legitimate they will send some kind of proof or I would receive something in the mail and I haven't received anything besides they would have to prove I was at the place cashing these checks and they can't do that because it's not true. Also if they were legitimate their number wouldn't come up private or unknown.

Bounced checks (a.k.a. “rubber” or “non-sufficient funds” -- NSF -- checks) are an expensive hassle at best. At worst, they can result in criminal prosecution or even cost you the job you want.

They occur more frequently today thanks to electronic check clearing, which means banks don’t have to actually process your physical check. Digital “substitute checks” can now be presented instead. That means checks can clear within a few hours instead of a few days.

The Legal Issues

State laws address the penalties for writing bad checks. There are generally two types of penalties for NSF checks: civil and criminal. Civil penalties address how much the recipient can collect after receiving a bad check. In some states, this can be much more than the amount of the bad check, and may include double or triple the amount of the check plus attorney fees and damages.
Under criminal penalties, you can be prosecuted and even arrested for writing a bad check. Bounced checks typically become criminal matters when there is an intent to defraud on the part of the person writing the check. The majority of bounced check cases do not involve criminal penalties, as MOST people cover a bad check as soon as possible.
