      As we put your SSN into our National Checking Database System we found you to be a genuine person, as you were never been arrested for any kind of Fraud Activity in your past, that the reason Court House has decided to give you chance to take care of this issue outside the Court without having black spot on your Credit History. 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, highest interest rate of the loan amount and actual loan amount = Restitution Amount or else the lawsuit amount which is approximately $4203.86 but if you want to settle this matter today itself than you can get some percent deduction on the Restitution Amount or else you can take care of this issue by paying Settlement Amount by today. Which one you would like to go for Restitution Amount or the Settlement Amount?? You have to send us a promissory note to stop your case file temporarily out of court house. So get back to us ASAP.



      We are really very sorry to say you that you are going to be legally prosecuted in the Court House within couple of days.

          Really need some input. They also sent this one, mind u they know of the bank I once had...two years ago though!

          You had applied for the loan amount of $300.00 and with the late fee and taxes it includes the Attorney charge, NFS Charge, Affidavit Charge, Rate of Interest the initial amount of $300.00 goes up to $955.75.
          We are talking about the loan amount of $300 that you took with the company, they do have a signed copy of the contract which is signed under your e-mail address mykeesi4s@me.com and SSN ending with 6693 also would like to mention your computer's IP address was also traced when you were signing the contract with the company. The company have more than 14 technical evidence in order to prove the money was successfully deposited into your bank account with JPMORGAN CHASE BANK.
          Talking about the creditor Advance Cash Services ACS is the parent company which owns & operates more than 350 parental payday loan websites. And you have used CASH NET USA one of them to get this loan approved.
          Kindly let us know your intentions regarding this case so that we can inform to our accounts department or we have to download this case forcefully against you.
          Best Wishes,
          Frank Veloze.

      You go here and fill out the "SECURE COMPLAINT FORM"

      Little do they know this is wire fraud, and India does have extradition orders, or will prosecute in their own country.

      Received the same email - They are getting the emails from Linked In.com and various other places.

      1. Lock up your Facebook to be completely private. Including Phone and email.

      2. Make Facebook private so only "FRIENDS" not "FRIENDS OF FRIENDS" can see your post.

      3. Linked In - you can make profile private do not use your "WORK EMAIL" for anything on the internet. It's not worth it and if you move from that job for whatever reason, you lose access.
      a Hotmail or Outlook.com account is great and has great filters.

      Do not use GOOGLE GMAIL - it is hard to sort, and btw - the government does dig through by keyword, especially for Torrent and Download etc.

      4. If you pay bill online, send them a check from HOME BANKING. This keeps your account information off the internet.

      5. PAY PAL - will keep your information private and you are not exchanging card numbers with anyone.

      6. Serve.COM - is an American Express card that is pre paid. card that is accepted as American Express but you can transfer money instantly to and from - ULNLIKE pay pal which you have to wait 3-4 days to fund.

      7. Remember that you have rights under the FAIR CREDIT ACT - and you do not have to deal with "ANY COLLECTON AGENCY" - contact the company directly and deal with them. What allot of people do not realize when a collection agency tries to set you up with a "PAYMENT PLAN" they are actually selling a loan from another company which will end up as a inquiry on your credit, and a new credit line at ridiculous interest. Remember that Collection agencies CANNOT impose interest unless you agree to it. You agree- they get the full payment from said loan company, then you pay them, they pay the loan company, minus their fee so actually they are making a profit off you twice.

      The Company you owed money to ? They wrote that money off at the end of the year.

      8. You can fight your credit yourself - DO NOT HIRE ANYONE - unless the money exceeds 2000.00 then remember when you fight amounts over that you stand to be served at your door by the creditor - those debts - you may have to negotiate.

      9. There are various ways to improve your credit. Paying collection agencies - is not one of them....

      A. https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp
      This is the Federal Trade Commission USA link to your free annual credit report. When the laws were redrawn this was enacted.

      Login in - Check credit at all three sites. But - when you do one "DENY EVERYTHING" that is in the negative columns.

      When you deny the "COPMANY THAT EXTENDED YOU CREDIT" has 30 days from the time you complain to respond. Sure they may respond with you owe, then call them and ask for proof, your signature, contracts, etc. IF they cannot produce it - IT GET"S DELETED..

      This works, It's free, I have put 4 people into houses with below 500 credit score upped to over 600 in 45 days...

      10. Remember that it's your money _ NEVER pay a collection agency to settle with your "CHECKING ACCOUNT OR DEBIT CARD" an old trick is ' to process your card as a POINT OF SALE and thus recurring charges will continue to come out. Use a PREPAID Visa, Master Card, Etc.

      11. DO NOT give a collection agency your Social Security number - they want your money, they do not need that information. They called you, they identified you, fine - and keep a file of any communications.

      These tips will help you be a smarter consumer. If you found this, then your googling the phone numbers and not falling for online scams. There are no get rich quick schemes.

      Only Get Someone Else Rich Quick SCAM !!!

      Thanks for reading...

      I got the exact same letter, but I was told I owed $955. My letter had the name Frank Veloze and the phone number on my letter is 304-462-9400. My letter stated if I go to court, I will have to pay $4217.15. I responded to the email and rec'd a reply back in less than a minute giving me a settlement of $490, but I have to pay by 09/11/2013 and I have to purchase a money pack from Wal-Mart to make the payment. I told them in my next email, that I would see what I can do and get back with them by the 11th. I rec'd an email this morning stating they had not heard from me and need my decision or they would proceed for the full amount. I knew something was strange because no legit company is going to corrospond with you through email, especially when they are working out a settlement with you. I tried calling the number also, and I got a recording stating the person I was trying to reach was not available.

      I got a similar email and gave them a random address of an attorney to contact and the response I received was:  Go F**k yourself in the Christmas.  Of course being the person I am I responded with "Merry Christmas to you as well and may God bless you and your family!"  That was the last I heard from them.

      I have received the same email about 10 different times with the same info as everyone else, however they change the name of the so called loan company I supposedly owe and the amount is different each time. I have emailes them back multiple times telling them to stop emailing me or I will have them sued for harrassment and they still keep emailing me. I called them once to find out what the hell they were talking about and the guy hung up on me. Then when I called back I started to ask why I was hung up on and he called me a [***]. After that, he hung up again. When I proceeded to call back, I kept getting a busy signal. This is bs and very annoying! Anyone know what I can do to have them reported??
