    I just received the same exact email. I knew that it was a scam immediately, being that I don't have any pay day loans (thru any company). It's amazing what people will try.... The fact that they signed the letter with "United States of Attorney" tells me that whomever these people are, they don't have a good grasp of the English language.

    I just received an email from them and I called the number and the man that spoke had a heavy accent and I asked him to please speak slowly so I could understand him, he hung up.  I tried to call back and the number is not a working number.  Talk about scamming.  Be careful they are out there and someone innocent is going to end up thinking they are for real and lose money.

        Got one today. The grammar is awful. I blocked them and refuse to deal with them. In the past when I did speak to them, I told them to mail me all of the information, they refused. I had my identity stolen and told them I'm not paying, period! Scam...oh hell yes! I keep waiting to get served and my employer to talk to me about this (yes, they threaten to advise my employer and have my wages garnished) but nothing has happened to date. Plus, the original court filing date was 14 November 2014. Stupid idiots!

    I got the same email. I went to this website, sent this page in a link to this scammer, saying guess what  you are famous.  I also sent it to the REAL state attorney general. Do these scammers think people live under a rock. If people were not being ripped off, it would be as funny as saturday night live.  Start calling the number constantly, get all of your friends to call the number at the same time.  get everyone you know to fill the email box with links such as this. just annoy the heck out of them and have some fun.

      CFPB Takes Action Against ACE Cash Express for Pushing Payday Borrowers Into Cycle of Debt

      ACE to Pay $10 Million for Using Illegal Debt Collection Tactics to Pressure Consumers Into Debt Traps

      WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) took enforcement action against ACE Cash Express, one of the largest payday lenders in the United States, for pushing payday borrowers into a cycle of debt. The CFPB found that ACE used illegal debt collection tactics – including harassment and false threats of lawsuits or criminal prosecution – to pressure overdue borrowers into taking out additional loans they could not afford. ACE will provide $5 million in refunds and pay a $5 million penalty for these violations.

      “ACE used false threats, intimidation, and harassing calls to bully payday borrowers into a cycle of debt,” said CFPB Director Richard Cordray. “This culture of coercion drained millions of dollars from cash-strapped consumers who had few options to fight back. The CFPB was created to stand up for consumers and today we are taking action to put an end to this illegal, predatory behavior.”

      ACE is a financial services company headquartered in Irving, Texas. The company offers payday loans, check-cashing services, title loans, installment loans, and other consumer financial products and services. ACE offers the loans online and at many of its 1,500 retail storefronts. The storefronts are located in 36 states and the District of Columbia.

      Payday loans are often described as a way for consumers to bridge a cash-flow shortage between paychecks or other income. They are usually expensive, small-dollar loans that must be repaid in full in a short period of time. A March 2014 CFPB study found that four out of five payday loans are rolled over or renewed within 14 days. It also found that the majority of all payday loans are made to borrowers who renew their loans so many times that they end up paying more in fees than the amount of money they originally borrowed.

      The CFPB has authority to oversee the payday loan market and began supervising payday lenders in January 2012. Today’s action resulted from a CFPB examination, which the Bureau conducted in coordination with the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner, and subsequent enforcement investigation.
