Consumers Claiming Fraud (CRIMINAL LAW & PROCEDURE)

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 10:21:00 GMT

My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York

I was running a business for a couple of years online involving education. After I closed down my website, a year passes by and 2 individuals are claiming that the money sent for the education lessons was to be used as an investment. They made threats that they filed complaints to the district attorney but i haven't heard anything from the DA - however I did call in and found out that there was a case number but no details can be given to me.

I have copies of some emails (not all as someone also got into my email account and deleted many messages). One of the individuals erased his email address with his ISP and changed his ISP as well.

Should I bother with anything, wait, or just ignore everything?

I had consultations with a few attorneys who give me different answers -- some seem like they want me to retain them so they can charge me to make a response immediately while others say nothing can be done unless I am arrested for something. What should I do?

  • If you haven't been contacted, there is nothing for you to respond to.

    Unless and until you are sent/served papers, there's nothing to do but wait and see what the outcome of the investigation - if there's even an investigation underway - is.

  • right but since they filed a complaint with the district attorney, do i have to file any type of response even though the da did not call me, send me mail, etc?

  • Should you bother with what?

    They either invested money in your business or they didn't. If they didn't, and you can establish that, then the claim of investment shouldn't get very far.
