I would consider it a scam and contact the attorney generals office immediately.
Do you really think if this guy found your email address and is offering you a "settlement possibility" before you ever were notified about your payday loan being "whatever it was he said it was?" The reason I put that in quotes is I have seen every kind of scam there is, and this is about as bad as it gets! Can't you tell by the way he forms his sentences and cannot spell that he is foreign? You apparently had a payday loan, which is really stupid but that is for a later discussion, and they got some limited information about it. I have received over $1 million in "cashier's checks" in settlement of a husband and wife "agreement with stipulated amount." If that sounds strange, it is because it was a foreigner trying to use a translating site to write in english. There were 3 cashier checks, each worth over $300 grand, and very real looking but it was obviously a scam. They were willing to let me deposit the check, and hold all of it except $2,000 which was needed by the wife because her son was having life saving surgery and she was desperate. I could send the rest later. Of course all they wanted was the $2,000 cuz the cashier's checks were false. All you have to do is read the email and you should know it is totally false.......note they do not say who you owed the money to, how much it was, what court they were suing you in or turning it over to, or anything else that would allow you to make an informed decision. The 352 area code is in Florida. The 206 area code is Washington state......doesn't that seem strange?
