[QUOTE="Skud, post: 14219564, member: 16758"] A few years back when I was living in Ohio I received a letter in the mail from a legal office in Toledo stating that I had an "outstanding debt" and I needed to pay it immediately or face collections. Very little information was given about what this "debt" was, but if I sent a check for $95 it would be cleared up. I phoned the law office and the paralegal told me it was for a red light camera violation. I hadn't been in the Toledo area in over three years, so I knew it was bogus and asked for a copy of the violation. Two weeks later I received it in the mail and couldn't stop laughing. The information typed on the citation was the plate number for my 2002 Mustang GT and the vehicle type was listed as "Ford", but the picture was of a late 1990s Jeep Cherokee. There was a close-up of "my plate" which had the first three letters blurred out and the last four were the same as mine. The picture of the plate was very interesting. The image was in black and white and first three letters were quite obscured and illegible, but the last four digits, however, were very clear - almost "too clear" compared to the rest of the photo. It almost looked artificial. If they're sending me a picture of my own plate why blur it at all? No doubt they sent letters out to lots of other people with the same last four digits to see who paid. I sent them a strongly-worded letter about how I thought their tactics were shady and probably illegal. Never heard from them again. I wanted to post the original I received and I quickly looked in my filing cabinet for that piece of paper with the picture, but it's buried somewhere... Riley [/QUOTE]
