You won't know if "ignoring works" until the 3-year statute of limitations is met. "Ignoring" doesn't resolve the matter. It will not cease attempts to collect.  It just postpones it indefinitely until something happens.

Did you get this resolved?  Did ignoring work?
I'm a non-lawyer but not legally ignorant either. Under the 1st Amendment, I have the right to post facts & opinions using rhetorical hyperbole, colloquialisms, metaphors, parody, snark, or epithets. Under Section 230 of CDA, I'm only responsible for posts I write, not what others write.

Because it generally is not a "scam" in the traditional sense.

You can expect lots of attempts to legally threaten you via email and mailed notices. They may even try to call you.

And they won't take your $60 because it is slap in the face to them. It is too small a settlement to be worthwhile.

My question is in declining my offer to settle they are referring my file to outside counsel, what do I expect next?  If this was truly a scam, why wouldn't they just take my $60 and run?
