I too have fallen victim to our friends at Chula Vista ave, Irvine, CA. A few months back I was called by one guy, who transferred me to Mr. Matthews, who informed me of my impending court date the next day in LA county. This was my first call, which was fairly unproductive. The only info I got was when the court date was happening, and that it was in LA, but he got very angry with me when I asked him for credentials to ensure he wasn't a scammer, and he hung up on me... how rude. I, like these other reporters, was highly unnerved, and ducked out of a fairly important meeting to get back to my office to figure out what the F was up. I was cool with having to go up to LA to some court hearing (I live in San Diego;) for something I was fairly sure I didn't do anyway, but Mr. Matthews didn't give me nearly enough info. Sooooo, I spent 2 hours on the phone with the Los Angeles Superior court system, with nothing but my last name, trying to find out if there was a hearing against me tomorrow... no dice. Slightly more relieved, I call back at the 310 # they provided, and simply asked for more details so that I could meet them at the courthouse. Here is where I got the Irvine address, and their ZIP code. The address is in a residential area and the ZIP code was a military FPO/AP zip. I also got a court case number from them too. Now, armed with a court case # and the direct line to one of the supervisors at the LA Civil Court office (got in the two hours previous), I learn the truth. Not only was the case # bogus, but it wasn't even the right format, not to mention there were no cases against me the next day, or any that were involving Mr. Matthews at all. Hope my story brings a little peace to others who share in this annoyance. I'm still not sure where they make money on this (demand it after your no show at "court"?), but it is "distracting". And if the scammers themselves read this response, I have one thing to say, "really?" ~Skew

They say they are from the Legal Affidavit Office 1375 Chula Vista, Irvine, CA. At least that's what they told me. I also received phone calls from Eric Matthews and James Parker. They did the same thing to me. I was hysterical at my office. I got home that night and spent about 6 hours on the computer doing all kinds of research on them. From other Rip-Off reports listed under Legal Affidavit Office (there are tons) not to mention getting the info of the phone companies that they use. These people are the scum of the earth. Good Luck, I hope they don;t contact you anymore. What I actually find funny is they use names from popular tv shows.
