    My answer to these people would be "I await your summons, see you in court" and invariably you never hear from them again.

    Finally a result
    Rang R.A.C.Q again today and spoke to a chap in recoveries department
    He conceded that the car that ploughed into the Nissan was in fact a Isuzu ...NOT a Holden commodore (my friends car)
    And that someone in the office clearly didn't follow the claim with due diligence...hence the error
    Most apologetic too
    I asked him for a confirmation via e-mail
    Not only 'the scammers' you gotta worry about these days
    Sure glad that's over ...MM

    Told Ya. Pretty much the same as my story. Burning question here is, what would have happened to the money if you or your friend had come good with the four grand? Me thinks there may be some skulduggery going on in the RACQ. Maybe it was a little MORE than due diligence by the unidentified transgressor in the RACQ. I love the way government employees can become anonymous in a flash when required. I guess its one of the consequences of living in a one horse town like Queensland

    My thoughts too Rusty...where would the money have gone? The letter was a bit heavy handed which proves they were pretty serious in recovering their money.How they could mistake a Isuzu for a Holden is beyond comprehension...MM

    Hang on!. RACQ has nothing to do with government. How do you manage to drag government employees into this??

    We have had several calls from scammers regarding suppose involvement in crashes.
    When pressed for all sorts of details they usually hang up.

    It's no excuse but I can see this happening as easy as pie and I often wonder why it doesn't happens more often.

    Some bored or distracted data entry operator is asked to enter or remove MV rego numbers into a system from paper based forms, instead of 1ABC 325 they type 1ABC 235 and this pops up your friends rego or in your case not your friends rego. They are probably required to cross check other reposted vehicle attributes ( eg make and model) but they don't . . . . . .

    Quite aware of that. I think in a lot of cases government doesnt have too much to do with government either. It has become a typical scenario in all levels of public service; you never can find that exact person who did the deed or made the decision. You are flat out getting a name. It is now coming into private enterprise, particularly public service type operations.
