JBC Legal Group ripoff, SCAM ARTISTS!! LIARS BLOOMFIELD, New Jersey
I received a letter over a month ago for a check that I STOPPED payment on over 2 years ago. According to JBC however, it was an NSF. It turns out that the bank paid the check to the in ERROR and I faxed a copy of my statement to JBC showing them that it had been paid. A little over a month later I received another letter from them stating that I now owe 5 times the amount of the original check!!When I called to speak to "LORI BROWN" I was told that she was in court.
The guy insisted that he could help me. He spoke in circles for 5 straight minutes saying that I had to pay the total amount but that after I pay it I should then sue the company that I wrote the check to because it seemed to him that I had been defrauded and I should go after them for the fees I was incurring with JBC. I consider myself to be rather savy in consumer issues but this guy almost had me going.
I actually offered to pay the original amount of the check just to close this case and he said he could not take less than 75% of the total bill. Finally I told him that I would have my husband call him later. I then contacted the check verification company who JBC claimed to represent and I was told that I was in good standing with them and they were not sure what was goin on. Thats when I decided that I would check this company out on the net.
What a SCAM indeed! I should have figured it out by their lack of professionalism, the grammar of the letter, the stupid phrases like "Oh yeah and the sky is red, right?" or "Just hang it up."
What a pathetic way to make a living, from the uneducated operators all the way up to whomever claims to be the lawyer. I contacted the FBI, and this is going to a WHITE COLLAR CRIME UNIT. DON'T give these people money...You don't owe it!!!

I received a letter in April 2004 stating that I had written a bad check to Pizza Hut for $11.76 in 1997. The bill stated I now owed $86.76 and that they had sent numerous previous notices. Funny, I never received them. The address they had listed was to a city that I have never lived in. I called JBC Legal Group, P.C. and spoke with "Scott" who said it was written on an account with Community National Bank. This is bank account that not only had I never heard of but that I never opened. I called 411 and was informed that CNB National Bank is in a different city from which I live.
"Scott" should receive an academy award for acting! He sounded so convincing. He even convinced me that I might be the victim of identity theft. Since I am a college graduate I decided to get on the Internet and do some research about JBC Legal Group, P.C. I called them again to confront them about their lies. "Lori Brown" was unavailable, but I was told to mail a letter and the account will be dissolved and the matter "reinvestigated." I will have my attorney mail the letter to them.
These people should be put in jail! There is a law against defrauding people! How do they sleep and night? More importantly, how many people pay them without investigating?
