[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to figure out if you were overpaid, OP. You should have done that the minute they sent you the first letter. If you were, then pay them back.

If you were overpaid and they sue you, they might be able to collect attorney’s fees from you, if you agreed to that in your employment or contractor contract.

I suspect you were overpaid and you at least sort of know it, but you think it’s their fault for making the mistake so you don’t think you should have to pay them back (which is legally incorrect) and therefore you haven’t taken their prior attempts to contact you about this seriously. I would recommend you think that plan.[/quote]

[b]I think they nay have overpaid, but maybe by $500, not by $2,000K.[/b]

I asked for my pay stubs. They won’t send them to me. This guy sent some blurry excel spreadsheet that is unreadable.  So I can’t really calculate how much they overpaid.[/quote]

This is exactly how an overpayment scam works -- they overpay you, so you feel guilty, but then demand way more than they overpaid. It's an easy way to make $1500, and they are doing this to countless people. And of course when you asked for proof, all you got was some blurry spreadsheet. I have no doubt someone is scamming you. Block, and report ( https://www.ic3.gov/Home/ComplaintChoice ). Do not engage. The initial overpayment is how they get you to engage. [/quote]
