Our law firm here in Manhattan got the exact same email today, October 11, 2010.  I don't understand what they can possibly do in this scam that gets them money?

i got the same email. And helped him get his money from the debitor. And didn't have any issues. I got paid as agreed. So, of them email are scams. But, the one I did got from craig isn't one of those kind.

Got the same message as Deb at 7:40pm Sept 27, 2010.  Who is this guy?

They claim they received a partial payment (via a phony certified check) and ask that you take your fees and remit the balance to them since you will obviously get the remainder through collections. Of course, nothing else will ever  be paid. It should be reported to ic3.gov as a law scam.
