Dear Debtor,

This is to notify you and requires your immediate attention.

We are going to file a lawsuit in the next 24 hours at NYC Civil Court (89-17 Sutphin Blvd, New York, NY 10038).against your Name and SSN. After giving several notifications we did not receive any response from your side. We will consider that you are ignoring this matter and you want to dispute. We are in a process to inform the Social Security Administration & major Credit Bureaus as well.

If we do not hear from you today, we will be compelled to seek legal representation in the Court House. We reserve the right to commence litigation for intent to commit wire fraud under the pretense of refusing to repay a debt committed to, by use of the Internet. In addition we reserve the right to seek recovery for the balance due, as well as legal fees and any court costs incurred.

Note:If we don't get any response from your side, we shall have no alternative but to take action through the local County Courthouse to recover the amount due together with court costs and legal fees including all taxes which cost approximately $5825.35.

Note: The Legal Charges Section 19(A), Clause 21(US) is against you and if you ignore this case then our legal department will take immediate action against you.

If we receive the remaining payment from you thereafter we will provide you with a full and final receipt stating that your case file is closed permanently with remaining zero balance. Don't take this matter lightly otherwise once the case file is downloaded thereafter we won't be able to help you out.

If you fail to respond us the Charges will be pressed against the name are:

1. Violation of federal banking regulation act 1983 (C)

2. Collateral check fraud

3. Theft by deception (ACC ACT 21A)

Which carries a maximum sentence of 3 years of prison and a fine up to $5825.35.

YOU CAN APPLY FOR AN OUT OF COURT RESOLVE OPTION (OOCR): All you need to do is email us back for taking care of this matter outside the courthouse.

PS. If you fail to respond within 24 hours this Legal Action will be activated. You will be Entitled for an OOCR, so please EMAIL us back ASAP.

By requesting a settlement offer in compromise, but if you fail to do that then we shall start the process of pressing those charges against you.

To resolve this issue ASAP,

Kindly email us immediately.

Thanks & Regards,

Vista Law Firm.

Now I did look up the law firm. First one I found is an international law firm, the other is out of South Carolina.

I too have received this same email. Well I'm not exactly dumb, I'm extremely intelligent. I have ask them several times for the so called 14 points of proof they say they have that proves the bill is real and mine. They have not given me anything as of yet. I also ask them for their contact info and I got the address in Texas. I just looked it up and the first thing I see is that bold headline, national credit Collections scam. I knew something was funny, but this just makes me really angry. I'm trying to save money to fly to Ukraine and get married, and these A - Holes are trying to rip me off, if the law can not do anything about them, then maybe they should answer to some good old fashion country justice, but I don't want to upset them. They may sue me and make me pay even more money. That was the first give away, the amount they said I owe never was the same, it only changed slightly, but I have dealt with REAL collections companies and they ALWAYS make sure they get the full amount of money.

I just received the exact same email. I hate scammers, get a job and stop preying on innocent people!

I received the same stating needs to be settle within 48 hours. I told them to send it to me with what ever address and the local police will deliver a summons didn't here no more about this. And I also reported this to the FTC. Go get a life

Here is another scam.

The court they mention is for bankruptcy.

Hi, I've received one of those phony emails from a Travis Bird. It had Docket no. and reference no with outstanding balance. No mention of Who he was collecting for. Also had a out of court settlement amount.
The email was in my spam folder and that exactly what I consider it as... Trash!

I got an email from National Credit collections. I replied to them telling them to send documents showing the amounts. I added that I would submit them to the Local District Attorney's Office for investigation. They haven't responded back. Statue of limitations for filed a lawsuit is 2 to 4 years from the date of default. My fair debt attorney says if they harass me He'll go after them.
