What is the name of your state? California
I was fired from a job in March of 2004. In December of 2005 I was approached by a woman who stated she was an attorney. She refused to name her client, however, she stated her client who was directly involved in my termination, was no longer with the company and was willing to make the whole thing "go away" for a payment of $25,000. I never gave out my address to anyone at the company and it is not listed in any directories paper or on line. The only way an employee of the company is if somebody who had access to my file pulled it and gave it out without my consent. Is any of this legal?
