In the mail today I get this notice from a Check Processing Bureau in New York- URGENT Communication. It says I issued a fraudulent check to a South Bay Pizza No. 8284 in Ca. and I have a total amount due of 190.00 (Hmmm, sounds like a PDL payment)What is weird is the choice of this supposesed pizza place. I used to live in an area called the South Bay in So. Calif. about 6 years ago. But I certainly never wrote a check to a pizza joint, let alone one for 190.00!! Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Is this just another PDL collection trick? It gives a case number and talks all about how check fraud is a crime in the state of texas blah blah blah.

I have never heard of it but I certainly hope that you can tie it to a PDL and then have the Attorney General sue them!

Have you tried to find out about that pizza joint? From the number, I get the impression their are at least 8,284 pizza shops from this company called "South Bay Pizza". Wow.....that is franchise number rivaling McDonalds.

I quick blast thru google finds no company named South Bay Pizza. I would definately contact your AG on this one.

OK, I called this morning and this was in regards to a box of checks that I had stolen back in 1999!! when I still lived in Ca. The guy was actually very nice and I told him I would fax him over a copy of the police report and affadavit of forgery I had on file with the bank (Luckily I still had theses) He told me that would not be necessary, that my information checked out, and he would close the file. Word to the wise people, unless you have a SECURE mailbox, never ever have your checks delivered to your house. Alawys have them delivered to your bank branch and pick them up. This person passed my checks all over southern CA. and I had to hassle getting my name cleared for years! And now it's reared it's ugly head again. As if I didn't have enough problems with the PDL's. Sad

I seem to vaguely remember this one. It was actually a Pizza Hut. The Pizzas only came to about 60.00 but they wrote in a huge tip. I remember calling the manager of the store and telling him he was a dumbass for

1- Taking a check with no ID
2- The check had a different address than the delivery address
3- Who tips over 100.00 for a pizza delivery????

Any one that dumb deserves to be out the money. Oh and he didn't have a record of where the pizzas were delivered to give to the police so they could go nail the jerks. Sighhhh. Can't believe this all has come up again

I hope the kid that delivered those pies got the $130 tip.

Geez, did they get there in 30 minutes or less, lol??? And speaking of ID theft, it can happen anywhere. A receptionist I worked with several years ago had it happen to her. She was taking her kids to the pediatrician, gave the medical assistant her insurance card, and the nightmare started from that point.
She went to the DMV to pay her car registration and found a warrant for her arrest for unpaid speeding tickets! They found the person who did it and arrested her--but my friend has had a heck of a time clearing this up.

Just an FYI- I received one of these notices as well, and it looks like it is a scam. I googled it today and found a lot of people had to deal with this con. It may be that your situation wouldn't allow them to rip you off...

i had the same letter , but i thought something was fishy and did some research. I talked to guy named Ron Adams , He cpouldn't give me any details, he just said my check was in the fruad deparment, and i could see it in court. I also ask why this bad check never appeare on my credit report, He didn't know. And finally I asks how i knew he was creditble. He said he going to put a two week hold on my account till i did my research, hope this helps i dont think ill pay him after looking this up

I just got this letter in the mail yesteday. It says I wrote a $259.98 check to footlocker but doesn't say where or when. I havent purchased anything from footlocker in 5 years, and not even sure if I ever wrote them a check. I called my bank and asked about returned checks. I have none. I called the account representative back from the letter, Amy Summers at extension 109, and left a VM stating I was very concerned. We'll see if she calls back.

I got my own letter form this company today. A check that was suposedly written back in 2001 to Lerner which they said is a publishing company. I have no clue who the company is that I supposedly wrote the check nor do I remember writing a check to any publishing compant. Back then I did well to pay bills with three kids on my own. The guy Ron Adams said that it is not their policy to send proff of a check in the mail. He said he would see me in court. Any one else have any other activity? Or has anything else happened with your case. Also, I am in Florida, any advice on who to report the frauds to?

We have been harassed since Christmas Eve! I am just now figuring out that it's a scam. The guy I've been dealing with is Doug Lewis. I have contacted the I-Team Investigation from the local news to look into it deeper. My husband is contacting a lawyer tomorrow to see what else we can do. I am thinking we can make a police report. This has really upset me. Mr. Lewis has called my husband a racist and hung up on him 3 different times when requesting for a copy of the check. He has also yelled at me and hung up on me.

To all ripped off by Check Processing Bureau
I am not Barry Sussman. I do not own the Check Processing Bureau. I have no idea how my address and phone in New York became associated with that scam.
to WWEFAN1968: how did you associate my address and phone with Barry Sussman with that organization.
to all: Please stop writing and calling me.
