    I received a similar email as well. Did not get too upset as I started reading it, though- upon reading the beginning information of the message, the sender is ACS INC <acs.atorney.collections@gmail.com>. First thing, if you're going to send threatening, intimidating emails to someone to steal their money and cause them to believe there is a FRAUD case against them, this 'atorney' might want to know how to spell his title correctly. Then as the letter goes on, the constant other spelling and punctuation mistakes,  and phrases that sound like 'broken english'. Any ATTORNEY that I know would have sent an email that was proofread first, or even perhaps, you know, be addressed to ME- with my name, for instance? Yep. No problem. I'm going to "grab my debit card and call us or e-mail us right now in order to make a payment and 'freeze down this case'." Perhaps also, they'd like my SSN #, shoe size and favorite color, too.

      I agree with your note completely.  Had this been an actual firm trying to collect a debt, the use of proper grammar and the ability to spell and capitalize at the right points might show that this is a scam.  If you also have been getting the " you have been requested to be given 1.4 trillion dollars" giveaways, that might also be a red flag that it isn't real since the command of the English language is not a prerequisite to sending these e-mails to people.

      Just ignore and delete.  No reason to even worry about them

    Total Outstanding: - $955.75
    Case File Transferred: - July 2013
    Loan Company: - ACS INC.  


    As we put your SSN into our National Checking Database System, we found that you have been never charged for a fraud activity & that is the reason Court has decided to give you a chance to take care of this issue outside the Court without having a report on your Credit History and SSN. Now if you want to take care of this issue than you have to pay an out of Court Restitution Amount which includes the late payment charges, penalty charges, interest rate on the loan amount and actual loan amount = Restitution Amount which is $955.75 or else the lawsuit amount which is about $4203.86 WILL BE DOWNLOADED AGAINST YOU. If you want to settle this matter today itself, then you can get some percent deduction on the Restitution Amount and you can take care of this issue by making the payment of the Settlement Amount today. You have to send us a promissory note to stop your case file temporarily out of the court house. So get back to us ASAP.  
    We are very sorry to say that you are going to be legally prosecuted in the Court House within seven days. Your SSN is put on hold by the US Government, so before the legal charges get really serious against you, we are notifying you about these legal charges. But as we were not able to reach you so we are sending you a final notification Email. Your case file#A-09608; SI-WC-7310; and since it’s a legal matter you will need our help, so call or email us right now to make a payment and freeze down this case.

    I got this e-mail twice today with 2 differant dollar amounts ($955.75 and $832.63) and they must have educated themselves on how to spell. The e-mails came from legal.attorney@acspayday.co and legalcollection@acslegalcollection.com.  They called me last week and said I would be arrested on Monday.  I'm still FREE.  What a scam!

    Got this today 6/11/14.  Same as the others above.

    Case No. OCL- 0610B

    Balance Amount:  $935.76

    Case File Transferred to ACS: - June 2014

    Dear Customer,

    Having checked your Social Security Number through our National Checking Database System, and finding out that you have been never charged for a fraud activity, ACS has decided to give you a chance to take care of this issue outside of the Court without you having a report on your Credit History and SSN. In order to avoid a lawsuit of $4203.86 against you, we request you to kindly pay the Court Restitution Amount which is $935.76. If you settle this matter today, you may be entitled to get some percentage of deduction on the restitution amount. You will have to send us a promissory note in order to hold your case file from being sent to the court house. On a case to case basis, you may be given the solution to pay 45-55% of the pending amount in the same month & a 30 days extension to settle the rest of the settlement amount as mutually agreed.

    As we were unable to reach you so we are sending you this final notification through email. This legal matter will require your cooperation, so kindly get in touch with the department to make a payment and freeze down this case.  

    As you are a defaulter on this credit, the following counts are likely to be represented against you at local County Courthouse:

    (1)          VIOLATION OF FEDERAL BANKING REGULATION

    (2)          COLLATERAL CHECK FRAUD

    (3)          THEFT BY DECEPTION  


    Once the court action is initiated and a Judgment / Decree  against you to recover the balance amount with the cost of law suit is received, we may need to ask the court to give one of the following order, should the debt remains unpaid:-


    •    Attachment of Earnings base (Earnings Arrestment). Deduction from your wage by your employer or arrestment of part of your salary to satisfy the debt.
    •    Warrant of Execution (Exceptional Attachment Order). Seizure and sale of movable non-essential assets / property by a County Court Bailiff /Sheriff Officer.

    If you are under any state probation or payroll we need you to inform your reporting officer or manager about what you have done in the past and what would be the consequences once the case has been downloaded and executed in your name. If we do not hear from you within 48 hours of the date on this letter, we will be compelled to seek legal representation .We reserve the right to begin litigation for intent to commit wire fraud under the pretense of refusing to repay a debt committed to, by use of the internet and your SSN. In addition we reserve the right to seek recovery for the balance due, as well as legal fees and any court cost incurred.

    The Factual Basis for the complaints is as follows:  

    You accepted to return the funds from this aforementioned pending loan.

    And as per the agreement the funds have yet to be returned and the collateral has proven to be null that is to say of no value.

    At present, ACS INC is seeking either of the following remedies:-
    All funds to be returned as per terms of initial contract.  

    Dear debtor, as we were investigating your profile credit bureau & social security administration we need some right answers from your side. Also we would like to know when you can pay the requested $935.76 to settle this case.

    To resolve this issue contact us during the working hours Monday to Friday 09:00 AM to 05:00 PM EDT on +1-229 384 5700 or reply back to this email to get in touch with the representative.
