Re: Possible Fraud

Most likely you have a claim, which can be made in California. However, before you proceed, you should be wary of the potential that the company has closed shop and that the judgment will be unenforceable. The good thing is that if the other side does not fight in court, you can get a judgment in a realtively quick and cost efficient manner.

The best thing to do is to consult with a CA attorney if you wish to proceed.

Re: Possible Fraud

Are you sure they're still in business? You might notify the CA Attorney General's consumer affairs division if you suspect you've been defrauded. I take it, then, that you never received any information (or payment) from the ATMs? Sounds like it might be worth paying for a consultation with an attorney to review your options, and maybe hiring an investigator to find out if this company still exists.

Re: Possible Fraud

You have the right to sue the company here in California, and, if successful, attempt to collect the money owed to you from them. You may have several theories of recovery, including breach of contract (if there is a contract), fraud and other general business claims.

I specialize in collection suits of this type; if the company is in Southern California, please feel free to contact me to discuss your case.

Re: Possible Fraud

One tactic might be to sue them in Va. court (where you will have the home court advantage and they might not even show up) and then go after any assets you can find in Calif.

Re: Possible Fraud

First try to determine if they are still in business, then determine who the officers and directors are from their corporate filings. If you have to sue, name those people as well as the company. You can sue in CA, and your documents probably require you do so, check them. If you can sue in VA, do it for your convenience. If you need help in Southern California courts, feel free to contact me.

Re: Possible Fraud

Is this a franchise for ATM or a direct purchase? You probably have a claim, but we would need to review any documents you have. Please call me and I can answer any questions you might have.
