New York- A Florida man who sued Scores for treating his credit card like a plaything is headed back to the trendy strip joint to celebrate a settlement.

James Webb had filed suit yesterday in Manhattan Federal Court, charging that the club forged his signature to bilk him out of $22,800 on his American Express card July 4, 2003. But by afternoon, he had not only made nice with the club, he’d made reservations for next week.

“He made a reservation for 10 people for next week,” said club spokesman Lonnie Hanover. “The resolution is resolved.”

Webb’s attorney Daniel Rivlin said his client has no hard feelings toward the club.

“We had a conversation with a representative from Scores, and we have come to terms of a settlement,” said Rivlin, who said the details were confidential.

Webb, a title insurance salesman from Destin, Fla., will likely keep one eye on the girls and the other on his tab. He claimed in his suit that he and several friends racked up a legitimate bill of $4,258. Days later, American Express called him and told him that there was some “unusual activity” on his credit card.

Webb, who could not be reached yesterday, claimed in his suit that Scores forged his signature to three different statements. The bills were for $16,000, $3,400 and another $3,400, according to court papers.

The swanky East Side club has generated several complaints about credit card overcharges, according to the Manhattan district attorney’s office.

At least two customers sued the club in May: Michael Blaser, 53, who says his American Express was hit for $28,000; and Tauhidul Chaudhury, husband of a Bangladeshi diplomat. Chaudhury claims Scores bartenders and strippers got him drunk Oct. 23 and bilked him out of $130,000.
