Is Payne Richards and Associates a Scam?

Payne Richards & Associates sent me a letter telling me I have unclaimed money, fill out a form, have it noterized and they will send a check. But, instead of following their instructions, I called the company and they informed me that it was money owed to me from an American Express card. They would not answer my question, so I hangup and called American Express and was told this was a scam. These people should be found and jailed forever.

We got a letter from them, too, about some insurance money from his Mom's past... my husband filled out the paperwork and had it notarized. We hadn't mailed it, so I decided to investigate it as fraud, because they asked for so much information that if it was a scam, they would have all that information to use for identity fraud. So glad I checked!

THIS COMPANY ARE SCAM ARTISTS! They send all these letters and paperwork to look legit and also to notarize the paperwork so that they can claim 10% money that they so called found as a refund. You will never receive your money and you owe them the 10% of the refund because you signed the documents. They look legit because they show the BBB sign.

DON'T FALL INTO THIS TRAP!

I too, was sent a letter from Payne Richards and Associates telling me that they have found $1,022,09 that they would like to return to me. They also said not to send any money and that when I received my check there would be included an invoice for me to send 2% of my refund, $102.20. I figured I would wait for the check to clear before sending any money. It doesn't make much sense though as why would they send me a check and then trust my sending them their 2% afterwards? It sounds so anti-capitalist. I will call them Monday as they are closed weekends.

I have received this letter saying I have some money to recover they are telling me to send a notarized letter and to received the check and then they will charge me 99.28 fee and if the claim is denied im not going to be charge. My mother passed away and they said that the health care place were she was at they send that money to them its been 7 years and now they said that for me to claim that money why they didnt do it when she passed away it took 7 years for them to send me this information.
