    Fradulent Check Warrant
    I was recently sent a letter dated June 25, 2007 from the Lexington County Sheriff's Dept located in South Carolina stating a request to appear in court to show proof of restitution that a check I wrote April 6, 1999 to a Bi-Lo Store in the amount of $37.24 has been made. Otherwise, I will be arrested on this warrant.
    I can not for the life of me, believe something like this is still "floating around". There were some bad checks written during this time frame but I believe all those issues have been resolved. However, I do not have the records any longer after these many years.
    What exactly is the statuate of limitations in regards to this matter. This occurred over 8 years ago. I'm certain it has been paid but can't prove it. Can they prosecute a case this old?

    They actually can prosecute you for one that old, but you do have a good advantage in court, 9 years old, and their just sending you a notice.. are you still with the same bamk as when you wrote the checks, if so, the bank may have records of payment.

    Errr are you sure on that date as we are still in MAY?
    I'd call the sheriff's office and see if this is real as it sounds like a joke.
