Helen,  this is probably why they came back to scam you again.  Once someone pays without question,  they keep their name for future scams or sales to others.  It's a shame that we often have to learn lesson that way but I am glad that you are up on your toes this time and swinging back.....thanks for your post...

How in the world is a social security put on "Hold"..   I see this quite a lot associated among the scammers preferred threats.

I too recieved the same message with the amount being 986.45. After reading your notes i guess we all owe the same.......LOL How stupid can they be .

I got an email the following email from ACS INC.: We are here by to inform you that you are going to be legally prosecuted in the Court House within couple of days.  Your SSN is put on hold by US Government, so before something goes wrong we would like to notify you about this matter. It seems apparent that you had chosen to ignore all our efforts to contact you in order to resolve your debt with your Payday Services. At this point you had made your intentions clear and leave us no choice but to protect our interest in this matter.
UNITED LEGAL INVESTIGATION BUREAU HAS STATED 3 SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS AGAINST YOU AND THEY ARE:
(1) VIOLATION OF FEDERAL BANKING REGULATION
(2) COLLATERAL CHECK FRAUD                                          
(3) THEFT BY DECEPTION
If we do not hear from you within 48 hours of the date on this letter, we will be compelled to seek legal representation from our in-house attorney. We reserve the right to commence litigation for intent to commit wire fraud under the pretense of refusing to repay a debt committed to, by use of the internet. In addition we reserve the right to seek recovery for the balance due, as well as legal fees and any court cost incurred.
WE HAVE ALL THE RIGHTS RESERVED TO INFORM TO FTC & YOUR EMPLOYER AND BANK ABOUT THIS FRAUD.
As we have shared with you in previous letters, read your loan agreement; the next step is clearly defined. It could cost us both a great deal of time and money; you can avoid this by taking care of this now.

The opportunity to take care of this voluntary is quickly coming to an end. We would hate for you to lose the option of resolving this before it goes to the next step which is a Lawsuit against you, but to do so you must take immediate action.

It is quick and easy:
Grab your debit card and call us or e-mail us right now in order to make a payment and freeze down this case.

Contact us on 1-347 708 0067 from 09:30 AM to 06:30 PM (EST).
If you do not take immediate action:

We will be forced to download this case against you and once it is downloaded the creditor has entire rights to inform your employer and your references regarding this issue and the law suit will be the next step which will be amounting to $4447.25 and will be totally levied upon you and that would be excluding your attorney charges and the due amount pending on your name.

Scammers no doubt.  Don't fall for it.

The number of impossible/illegal things in their threats is laughable.  They can do nothing to you.  So just laugh at them.  Laugh harder when they rage cause you're not falling for it.

I just received this same message and stated that a law suite is about to be filed against me for bank fraud loan fraud internet deception or something to that nature they said I needed to grab my bank card or debted card to stop the suit and my ss# has been put on hold said I owed 986.45 from ACS,INC

I just received the same email and I requested the name of their in house attorney so mine could contact them.  I have been a victim of this in the past and unfortunately paid off a loan that did not exist.  I learned my lesson but I did contact an attorney and he made himself available to me because these people prey upon innocent people.

Received emaik about being sued for money owed on my government email. I called that number and just rang and rang. Emailed back and said i turned email over to legal office.

I got the same thing, with the same amount, on the subject line it read Account: AR10-2013: Subject-Lawsuit. It said I will be prosecuted in the Court House in a couple of days and we have full rights to inform the FTC and your employer, and that my SSN is put on hold. The number that they said to call was 1.347.708.0067 and grab your debit card and call us to freeze down this case.
