Guest guest Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I've been getting calls from Chase collections, for my son . He doesn't live here. I called him to find out what was going on. He said that he has become a victim of fraud. I did not ask him how much money is involved. He is just 21 and I told him that I thought he was too young for this to happen to him; but, I'm sure he's not the first. It hasn't been too long ago that I watched an episode of some news magazine show, maybe Dateline, that had a story about this check-writing fraud business. The fraud victims that were featured were a disabled woman who was looking for a job she could do from home and a young man who looked like a college student. He said he filed a report with the police and tried to talk to Chase; but, Chase doesn't care if my son is a victim of fraud, they just want their money. is trying to be a responsible adult. He is also trying to go to school. This sort of thing should not have happened. I suggested that he contact the state attorney general's office and maybe the Northwest Justice Project. But, I don't know if Northwest Justice Project works with criminal cases such as fraud. I reminded him that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. He could have called me if he had any questions. He told me that his roommates have all basically said the same thing. is such a great son. I told him that this is probably another one of those expensive lessons of life and if he gets through it, he will be much wiser for it.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Lousy! That happened to my 23 year old grandson too. I wish him luck in getting this all straightened out quickly. Perhaps if he gets a copy of the police report to fax to Chase it will help? SharonThis email is a natural hand made product. The slight variations in spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no way are to be considered flaws or defects.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 actually it does happen to much younger children God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Oh, this is just awful. I can't understand Chase's position. I get that they want their $, but a young man has somehow been duped, and it should be rectified. I would definitely contact some higher up at Chase, as well as the State attorney general's office. I hope this resolves...and soon!love to you and your son, Donna,KateTo: mserslife Sent: Thu, January 13, 2011 9:58:37 PMSubject: my son I've been getting calls from Chase collections, for my son .
