    A partner in our Company was sent an email to their personal account from a ************************* of Brennan and Clark. The email was addressed to our **************** manager. A second email was sent a couple of weeks later on 5/13/24, again from a ************************* of Brennan and Clark and again to a personal email account, but addressed to our **************** manager. Both emails from ************************* included that Brennan and Clark was requested by ******** **** to 'intercede on their behalf to resolve the above cited matter'. The 'above cited matter' was that our Company allegedly owned ******** **** $186.82. On 5/15/24 our Company received a voicemail from an ********************* of Brennan and Clark claiming that our 'organization's contractural obligation with their client (Paychex) remained unfulfilled' and that their 'client's hope was to not have to entertain the legal remedies available to them under the parameters of our agreement'. We forwarded ***************************** second email to our representative at Paychex. Our representative emailed back: 1. This is not from ******** 2. This is a scam, 3. Our Company does not owe Paychex anything. We forwarded our Paychex representative's email to ************************* and asked that Brennan and Clark not contact our Company anymore. Despite this, our Company received another voicemail, this time from a *********************** of Brennan and Clark, on 5/29/24. The voicemail left was verbatim what had been left in the first voicemail by *********************. Stop wasting our time.

    Good afternoon,

    Please see the letter below from our Client, Paychex stating the information **************** had received from Paychex initially was an error.  I am unable to attach the letter from ******* to this complaint so have copied the body of the letter below.  If you would like me to email the document, please let me know. 

    Should you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. 

    Thank you,

    Dear *****

    This communication is to confirm placement with Brennan & Clark of an unresolved debt owed to *********** by ************************* &Partners in the amount of $186.82 for services rendered.
