I have been recieving harrassing phone calls from ACS these people which clearly sound they are calling from India. I have never gotten any loan from them nor do I owe them any money. They refuse to send any documentation or give any valid phone numbers.. They threaten to get me fired from work and get me arrestted. Even if they are told no one is there by my name they say they know I am there and threaten the person on the phone. Family members, friends, coworkers this need to stop and would like information on how to stop these people once and for all.

    "ACS Law firm" is just a bunch of crooks calling from India extorting Americans into paying fake "debts".  They use threats of "arrest", or being "sued", combined with harassment of relatives or coworkers, as part of their extortion scheme.

    You don't owe them ANYTHING.  All their alleged "debt" claims are fake.  They can't do anything to you but harass you on the phone.

    Even if they appeared to have information on some debt you recognize, you wouldn't owe it to them.  There are reports indicating that they are obtaining U.S. consumer information from credit reports, skip-trace services, and phony on-line "payday loan" sites, which would allow them to fake claims that you "owe" them some "debt", using information from your own credit report.

    File a fraud complaint with the FBI, although since they're in India, it's not likely anything will happen to them.

    Since they are harassing you at work, you should also notify your employer that they are overseas criminals running a phone extortion racket, and that you have filed complaints with law enforcement.

    If they call back, just tell them you have reported their scam to the FBI, and you are recording their call for use as evidence.  Once they realize you can't be conned, they will move on to some other sucker.

    They are probably running this scam from overseas, which makes suing them impractical.

    They are, however, vulnerable at two points:
    1)  Their phone provider.  They may be using VoIP, but most likely use the same carrier even though they may change phone numbers frequently.
    2)  Their method of getting the money transferred.

    If the scam got that far, how did they say payment should be sent?
    Western Union?
    MoneyGram?
    Other?

    I just recieved the same call from ACS law firm and they are scamming from out of India. Everyone that I talk to was from India, they said I had a loan with Cash Advance USA, which I with on their site. Never seen that site before in my life. So I knew that something wasn't right. Then I put their name in my browser and it took me right to your site as this being a scam. What scares me more then anything is that they have my very personal information. My ssn, address, son's name. Stuff that real scammers know how to get a hold of. I know that the people from India are software whizzes and they live in their PC. I mean Mr. Gates has them working for him and they are very smart. Not saying that all of them are crooks. But like in every culture their are criminal elements. And that is so sad to me. Now I am very frighten about even using the internet now.

    They are reported to obtain information through fake payday loan sites, and they may also have access to credit report or skip-trace information.

    Did they say how they wanted you to sent them money?

    Western Union?
    Moneygram?
    Walmart prepaid debit card?
    Credit card, debit card, or checking account number?
    Other?
