I received a scam charge from a vapourous business without an office near an emergency room I received services from. It was for 30 dollars. I took the bill to the emergency room I went to and they said they don't recognize that bill and as far as they are concerned don't care if I pay it or not. I was unable to locate the address in the hospital.
And when I called the number they insisted I pay the bill. I went in circles with them trying to find out their association with any service rendered in the building I was in. Trying to reconcile the fact that the nice lady at finance dept at the emergency room doesn't recognize your business.
I could not make progress in reconciling the disagreement, so I told them that based on my analysis of the situation, you are scam artists, and I will not pay you anything. If you want to contest this, please coordinate with the nice lady at finance in the ER. Never heard from them again.
This was about 4 years ago at Waldo county general hospital in Maine. I never got anything in writing. It's scary I could have been jailed for that.
