This fraudulent bank account has been accruing interest and benefiting another [ PORTFOLIO RECOVEY ASSOCIATES, LLC ] AND not the true beneficiary. Furthermore this dividend has been disguised as an EXTORTION DEMAND in the form of a DEBT STATEMENT, subject to fines and imprisonment pursuant to Title 18 USC, chapter 31 CRIMINAL PENALTIES FOR EXTORTION AND EMBEZZLEMENT.

If your offices attempt telephone communication with me, including but not limited to computer generated calls and calls or correspondence sent to or with any third parties, it will be considered harassment.
