How are they getting my family's personal information? Oh and the State Process Server too? he wouldnt give me a number or address, nothing..How do I get them to stop calling my family?

My mother-in-law, brother, sister, father all got calls from state process server Duran Johnson, looking to serve me papers for a bad check...Gave the number 888-234-2873 ACS litigation. Called that number back and they want me to verify all my information...NO WAY. Asked why I never received anything from these people? they have no outgoing lines and no fax number. Only a PO BOX.  State process server called and I told him why are you asking to serve papers, I am home, com on over. Says he will be here in 30 minutes. I will let you know what happens..In the meantime, where did they get all my family members phone numbers? My mother-in-law is in Florida? I dont even know the number. How do I stop these phone calls?

Hey, you guys can also download an APP to block unwated calls.  That's if you have a phone to support the service and its free.  I did.  No more calls from these people!

THAY CALLED AND SAID THAY WERE FROM A LAW OFFICE BUT WOULD NOT GIVE ME THE NAME OR ADDRESS

This same number just called me and told me that I owe 300 on a damn pay day loan.. They are funny and need to get caught...They need to go back to there country...

These people called me at my place of employment stating that they were from the Bureau of Criminal Investigations! They all had very Indian accents and very American names such as Anon. Unfortunately for them, I actually work for the Federal Government and we are now forwarding their info up the chain to press charges for impersonating a Fed. My boss called them back and they couldnt answer any questions to confirm who they are.

I just received a call from heavily accented man who said his name was Carlos Williams.  He left this call back number, and said that I was a cosigner for  another person that I have never heard of.  He claimed I would be sued and held resposible for her debt if I did not call back immediately.

I immediately googled his call back number and found this web site.  I will be reporting him to the athorities in the morning.  Be careful.

hi, i  m carlos from acs new york , dont dare to say that this is a scam okay , otherwise u cant imagine that what will happen to you as well as your identity .reach me at 9172849294 and ask for carlos william okay.say sorry and pay your outstanding balance towards finance company

Mr Carlos William:

Please be advised that extracting money with menaces is a crime.

Hey they are useing a diffrent number now 505-407-1251 but the same names. God bless.

This company has been trying to get me to pay a 'settlement' of $505.00 for a Payday Loan that I supposedly took in March of 2010.  (I never applied for a payday loan in March of 2010.)  They have my old bank name (thankfully I closed that account back in November/December) but they have my SSN, work phone number and cell phone number.  After looking more into this company yesterday, I told them that I did the research and that I know it's a scam.  I said that I have reported you and the man with a very heavy Indian Accent said, 'Well, good luck to you.  Someone will be serving you legal documents at either your work place or your home.'  I said, good, I'll wait.  Before that, he gave me the phone number to verify the supposed debt which was apparently from a place called Cash Advance USA.  He said the number there is 206-259-7930 and to contact Eric Foster.  (Amazing that it's a number from Seattle, WA but they answer at 8am EST). I blocked my number and called it on Mute and the person just said, 'Can I help you'?  Didn't say the name of the company or anything.  I called back again (same way, blocked and muted) and they said Advance Cash USA (the name is different)  This Victor from ACS called me back a little later saying that Eric said he hadn't heard from me and I told him that I wasn't buying into it and it's because this guy is supposedly on the west coast.  He said, we'll he's there now and expecting your call.  Of course he is because I think they work together and have cell phone numbers.  When I told him that I couldn't find anything on that company online, he said that it could be under Cash Advance America.  I said, that's funny because that one doesn't come up either and it's a little odd that you now changed the name of the company.  He said, well, USA and America are the same thing.  I said, not really.  He then said that it could be under One Quick Cash.  Surprise, nothing under that name either.  So, I have filed a complaint with the FTC and If I get another phone call from them, I will report it to the FBI since I don't know what else to do.  They also call under different phone numbers but you can't call back on these numbers since they are disconnected?  The numbers they call from are as follows: +91 72849294 (which I believe the + means it's from overseas) 916-395-0000, UNKNOWN, 662-516-1267 (Kosciusko, MS), 615-724-7999.  I received a call from a Victor one day from the 662-724-7999 number which was on Thursday 08/26 and then another call from a man named Bosco Bell on Monday 08/30 from the 615-724-7999 phone number.  He left me a voicemail wanting to make me aware of a very serious and urgent matter he received in his legal office.  (Again, very thick Indian Accent).  Apparently the loan company is trying to go after me for Launderment of Loan Installments?? I needed to call him back at the 917-284-9294 phone number so he could help me.  Yeah right.  I called and Victor answered, not Bosco.  I believe this is a scam and I refuse to give them any money.  I will wait for legal papers to arrive.

I told him that I reported him to the FTC and the FBI.  And that's when he said good luck and someone will be serving me legal documents.  Sure....go ahead...I have reported this twice to the FTC.

I had the same thing happen to me this morning. I didn't catch the guy's name because of the heavy Indian accent, but I did catch that he said he was from a company called ACS. My husband called the number back and tried to ask them what the call was about and the man said that I had taken a payday loan out and was committing identity theft. He said that there were 3 counts of ID theft and that I was in big trouble. After several call attempts (they kept hanging up on my husband), we finally got through. My husband and I have filed for bankruptcy so we can't take out any loans right now. The man on the phone, who claimed to be the manager, told my husband that there was nothing he could do about it. My husband said that he would press charges against them if they called back because we searched their number and the comments on the number told us to call the FBI and the Secret Service. We did, and they are investigating now.  
The "manager" told us that we could try to do whatever we wanted but that there was nothing "our country's FBI or Secret Service could do about it be cause I am protected." He also said that he would sue ME for $150,000 and have me put in prison. He then said that if my husband tried to get involved that he would sue my husband and have him put in prison.
To make a very long, frustrating story short, CALL THE NEW YORK SECRET SERVICE AT 1 (718) 840-1000. They are under the Credit Card Fraud Division and because they are in the same state as the supposed "ACS" company, they are the only one's who can help you sort this out.

I keep getting these calls at work...I called them back and asked for email address and company and was told Advancecash usa...Wont give any info when I told them I was going to report them to the DA office they hung up on me...

I actually caught them in a lie.  I called the 917-284-9294 number (of course I blocked my number) and when they answered (how can I help you?) I said 'oh, I'm sorry, I was looking for Advanced Cash?'  He said, this is!!  I said really, this is Advanced Cash???  He said yes.  I then went on to say 'Well, you have quite the scam going on.'  What do you mean maam?  I said, I was orginally told to call this number for Affidavit Consolidation Services and you gave me a different number for Advanced Cash when really this is the same compnay and you're scamming people.  He said 'maam, you are dillusional, this is Affidavit Consolidation Services'.  I said, really?  That's funny b/c you just confirmed twice that you were advanced cash.  He called me dilluisional again.  Asked for my name and number which I refused to give.  He then said, who are you?  I want to know who I am talking to so we can get to know each other better.  I said, I don't want to know you.  You're a scumbag who tried to scam people out of money.  I said how much money have you scammed from people?  He said, I don't know what you're talking about.  I don't scam people and I never have, I make a lot of money.  I said of course you do because you scam people out of it.  He then said, I want to meet you.  Where are you?  I want to meet you.  I said, no, I don't think so, what will that solve?  He said, so we can get to know each other better.  I said, I already told you that I think you're a scumbag and I don't want to know you.  Obviously this isn't a legit collection agency, who would say that?  I said, where are you?  India?  He said, no maam, once again you're being dillusional.  I have never been to India.  I said, yeah right.  He said I am in New York City.  Come see me.  He kept asking me to go there to meet him.  I said, no way, I don't want to meet you.  Stop calling people and scamming them.  Your company has been reported.  He said are you an agent?  I said no.  He said well it wouldn't have mattered anyway, I have nothing to hide.  I said, sure you don't.  He kept asking who I was, etc.  I said, also, I never took a payday loan from the company you mentioned.  And he said I took it in March of 2010.  I know that I didnt.  He said, well, give me your name and number and I'll remove your information from my system.  I said, sure you will.  He said, you have my word.  I said that doesn't mean anything to me.  You're a scumbag.  Stop calling people and scamming them. You're being investigated and I wish YOU good luck!  BYE!  This is a total scam.  They were trying to tell me I was being charged with everything you mentioned as well.  They gave me a different number to contact the supposed original lender, but it's the same place.  I mean, the number they give you is a Seattle, WA phone number and they answer at 8am EST.  REALLY?  They're at work at 5am?  But I caught this guy!  They try calling 2 times a day now from an UNKNOWN number.  I know it's them.  But I don't answer and they haven't left me any voicemails.  So, you did contact the FBI?  This guy was trying to get me to go meet him.  Who does that???

These jerks call me all the time it comes up as 0000 and have that thick indian accent and he tells me he is officer whoever with an american name of course and I'm in big trouble with the federal govt and charges will be pressed but call him back to hear about the charges.. Haha I just yell and scream at them and eventually they curse you out and just hang up.. Do they get paid to do this all day long? Ahaha I wish I knew.. Its ridiculous and extremely annoying but they don't stop for whatever reason.. Just let it go to vm and deleteeeeee

My father and a friend of ours got a call from this number today. The caller stated my husband and I owed a debt we needed to settle. The caller said he was from usa cash network. He said he would throw my husband in jail if I didn't pay the $584 we owed. I hung up and contacted usa cash network who said we had no loan through them and they are filling a claim against this person for fraud.

This is from someone who replied to one of my messages on another post.

The local FBI complaints agent is a friend so I have actually spoken with him about this. Unfortunately short of changing all your phone numbers, there is absolutely nothing you can do. The people calling you are not actually located in the United States, so not all US laws and regulations can be applied to them. My cousin had this happen to her, and the poor thing called me in tears. Here is what you need to do:
1. Contact your local FBI office and report the fraud scam, as it is considered internet fraud they will have jurisdiction. Make sure you take detailed notes about what is happening to you so that you can give them what you need.
2. Contact at least one of the 3 credit reporting agencies- you receive one free report from each agency per year. Get one now, and make sure you have them put a fraud alert on your file. Dont worry about contacting the other 2 agencies, they will do this for you.
3. Contact the Social Security Administration to report SS fraud. This doesnt do much, but should you actually get your identity stolen it will help that you had reported it.
4. Contact your bank/credit card company- Now I know this one is annoying, especially since a lot of people have bill pay and automatic payments set up, but you need to be issued all new cards, and close your bank account and open a new one. (Even if they did not ask you to verify your account information they probably have it so you need to do this)
5. Contact an attorney, most offer free consultations. Once you have spoken with one, keep their information handy. Should these scammers call you back, let them get their speil out, then politely tell them that you would like them to relay all further correspondence to your attorney of record and give them the information. They will not actually contact this person, so even if they arent your attorney you can give it to them.
6. Contact anyone you may have listed on an application as a reference. Let them know what is going on and make sure you let them know exactly what information you have given out. This will usually just include name and phone number. I know this can be embarassing, but if you used them as a reference then hopefully they are a good friend and will want to help.
7. If you have actually applied for something online, contact that company directly to let them know and ask for them to send you account statements for your records. Even if you already have them, it doesnt hurt to get duplicates.

The FTC and other consumer agencies cannot do much for you. The reason these people keep changing their name and phone numbers is because the old ones keep getting shut down. Every little bit of information you can provide will help shut these people down permenantly, so even if you think you cant offer any more information call in to report it. That way if there is a lawsuit against them finally, your information will be there and you can get in on it. Good luck. :)

jst ready to resolve this matter according to the arrangement made by us we will give some documentation u have to jst sign it and return it back call on 9172849294...

they threaten to lock me up!

I recently got a call from aclscorpusa, he said his name is shane watson at 917 284 9294. He claims I owe a payday loan  but refuses say who, where or when it was made. I contacted my bank for any deposits made that I may not be aware of which there are none. I keep asking this ideot for specific information so I can check up on the claim and if I do owe the funds, I will  gladly pay them but only if I get the information I need to verify the account. The only email response I have received is a form they send to me with my bank card informaton and amount and a signature to be faxed back for a settlement. No names tor any lenders just shane watson's name.
I cancelled my bank card so they can not try to sneek a payment.
If I press the issue of needing creditor info, he hangs up.

Shane watson called me from a collection agency pcs and said i am going to court for a loan from cash advance usa and I can not get ahold of cash advance usa and find out what this is.
he keeps calling me

I received a phone call from the number 9172849294. They said they were with the Affidavit Consolidation Service and stated that there was a legal action against me under my social security number. The Guy that called said his name was Ronnie and threatened me. I told him to call my lawyer and gave him is name and number. They never called him... Then he called me back and I asked to speak to a supervisor and he put him on the phone and I might add they both sounded like they where Indian. I have worked for a call center when I lived in scotland and alot of the companies where outsource Better Business Bearu as well... This has added a great deal of stress to my life and these jerks need to be stopped!

The first time I heard from these guys they were using the number 646-578-8870 and they called my father telling him that I owed money on a payday loan and he needed to pay it or I was going to jail. Of course he came over and was thrilled about this call. I called the number and spoke to an Alex Stewart (indian or packistan accent) who said that he was with United Nathan legal dept, even had him spell it for me, and said that I owed money for a pay day loan from nov of 09 and that if I didnt pay it he was going to have charges pressed against my name and my social security number. Scared the hell out of me, so I spent the next three hours going over six months of bank statements and could not find anything to support these claims. So when I tried to call the number back it kept saying the number was unavailable. When tried to call them the next day the number was a non-working number. Thought it was the end of it when this happened but no the second day he called back. Asked him to send me something in writting to verify the loan and said he didnt have to and if I didnt pay him he was going across the street to the court house and then it would come to the county I lived in and would have a warrent against my name. He was not happy when i told him that would be great then I would have verification of what he was telling me and he hung up. What was scary was that they had all this information about me and sounded very threatening. Then I got a call from my work to return a call to a Shawn Williams with the ACH legal dept at the number 917-284-9294, Returned the call and spoke to a Ritchie Ferrell who said that he was this guys supervisor. There was a lot of back ground noise as well. He then placed me on hold with some very weird music. After a couple of minutes I hung up and called back. he then proceeded to cuss me out. He started by saying that, "Shawn Williams is F****** up" and "what the F*** did I want" I told him that I was returning his call and he accussed me of "hanging up in his face" All of a sudden he said that I needed to talk to his manager. I asked him if he was the supervisor why did he need a manager. He didnt answer and then this soft spoken indian guy asked me if I could tell him the number they called me on. I told him they called me why didnt they have the number. He did tell me that he worked for ACH legal dept and they do all the affidavits for everyone all over the United States. When I said "Oh" he then hung up. THIS IS A SCAM SO PLEASE DONT RESPOND OR GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION

Any idea who could call from this phone number.

calling and wanting money and making threats.

I got a message today at work and on my cell saying that I had gotten a loan and did not pay it back, which was untrue. The scary thing is that he knew my name and social security number. What if they try to steal my identity. The # left on my voicemail was 917-284-9294. The # that came across my caller id was 858-008-0355

They called my job a total of 75 times since 9/1. They have started just randomly calling numbers. When they called back, the security dept at my company asked for their information explained to them it was harassment they hung up. They called back again, I connected them to my security dept, she was heated and told them they are being reported. They won't give any information as to who they are, they told my lawyer.. give us her bank information so we may settle. My lawyer said "like hell!!". They won't give any information, no call number, no company information anything. Don't buy into these guys!! Complete scam ,,,total scam!!

They called me over 50 times tonight.  I changed my phone number.  When I told him he was harassing me he told me my tone was abusing him.  I told him to send me the info by US mail.  He would hang up and dial me back again.  Crazy.

I had exact same thing happen to me, I recieve calls 4-6x a week, I just dont answer anymore, I am on the do not call list, but doesnt seem to be very effective.  i have reported the number
