Today my brother revcieved a phone call from Smith, Dean & Assoc. and told him that I (his sister) had a bad check out for $117 and some odd cents and if it wasnt paid i would be charged with a 1st degree felony. When I contacted them they would not give me any information except that they had a check right in front of them from my old bank for a computer that bounced. First of all i have never wrote a check from my bank, and the bank account they were talking about was closed 2 years ago. after a few hang ups on my part and their part, i called my old bank. They told me my bank was clear and i was being scammed and to try and get as much information from them so they could be reported. After finding this out i called them back to let them know that i had figured them out, and from then on they had a nasty attitude, called me names, told me to get a job (which i was working at the time) also told me that I shouldnt drink bong water before noon, and asked what i was wearing and when i told them that i had researched them they told me to get on the computer that i 'stole' to write this complaint. I know that by making this complaint wont make them stop what they are doing but I would like to put this out there for anyone who may get this phone call like i did. So please... DONT SEND THEM YOUR MONEY... They need to get a REAL job instead of taking money from people who work hard for theirs!
