I received a scary email from a Mitchell Levy,who claims to be an attorney representing a processor of online gambling charges. I contacted the FTC, BBB,and Attorney General about this. They all told me to report this as internet crime.

Basically, this guy says he was calling about a debt with an online casino. Then he said he was investigatingme for fraud---chargebacks. I asked him for certain information, advised him about money laundering and processors, asked for written confirmation of this supposed debt. I told him that my bank has a record and investigation of every charge back that I have ever done---and that I had been a victim of identity theft. He said I owed 1,400.00 but could not even tell me who to send this money to. He called me back and said they would offer a settlement, via email. It never came. He did not answer an email I sent him asking legal questions about his Bar Association numbers, address, full name, name of the Processor of these charges, their address, why this was not money laundering, extortion,etc...

I called again to discuss this after contacting my own attorney. The guy did not answer.

I guess my real question is what are my rights, can this guy file fraud charges with the local police? I do not know how to fight something like this. I have gambled before but did not even know then that it was illegal. I have never even heard of Hellotronics and Sine Sup. who charged money against my debit card.

Please, please answer this for me. I am sick over this.


Anyone can file charges against someone, but with the police file you've opened already on the charges he's calling you about and the investigation opened, his chances of making the charges stick are low to nonexistent. And if the police find out he had reason to know (which you can point out to them) then the police might very well arrest him for trying to press fraudulent charges. Most likely the guy calling you is trying to scare you into paying him money you don't owe.
Really, truly, if you have a lawyer, talk to him/her and ask your questions. That's what you're paying the lawyer for.
