Pay day loan scam. Been calling me from different numbers on and off for years. I believe is ACS legal MCI and others. They are all the same company. ACS legal represent themselves as litigators, law firms. They are all full of it and call family members.

I ignore the calls now cause at first I called and investigated the numbers and they are all reported as scammers. Spoke to a few but they don't give up. The more you answer them the more scary tactics they use so you can pay.  They can call all they want cause they will never get a penny from me. Bunch of criminals working from a car garage.
SCAM

recd a call from 7709836747 says us dept on caller i.d what is it

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

.?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.

?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

They called me this morning saying I owe them $1500. Please let me know if this a spam or not

This one left a message regarding litigation regarding fraud against me. I can tell you with my previous experience, they do not contact by phone unless it is a data miner, which is a scam. Beware of these calls, because they have nothing in mind except getting your data, which is considered 'surrendered information' once you release it. Be careful.
