Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Maryland
Scam
I feel I was scammed out of $200,000.00 by four individuals. I have promissory notes from them stating the repayment of the money. The money was obtained by falsifying credit card and bank applications. But documents were put in my name. I signed these documents not knowing that I was being set up. The mastermind of this told me this is how he conducts his business. I have lawsuits left and right from 10 credit card/bank companies for repayment of the $200,000.00. I only make $50,000.00 a year. The individuals threaten to blackmail me and take my life if I tried to sue or even tried to go to the authorities. They live in a different state. I am scared to do anything because I am a single mother and have 2 minor children.

Re: Scam
You should bring these alleged crimes to the attention of the law enforcement authorities who are in a position to prosecute the individuals who are responsible.
Re: Scam
Your question raises a lot of ideas for what
you should do, but also leaves a lot of details
unclear. I believe it would be fairly important
for you to talk to a lawyer about the overall
situation and take action to correct this. I
do not see how the lawsuits against you could
win if they have the wrong person, but I do not
understand why you would sign any applications
or papers.
I think it would be fairly important for you
to have an attorney contact law enforcement
and work out a plan to protect you and to
set up a sting to catch these people.
