When I do answer and tell them to they have the wrong number and quit calling me before I call the police about harassment they hamg up! This is getting a little rediculous and I am tired of it! I wish someone could do soemthing about them.

    Just received the same e-mail. They are a scam group who try to sell pay day loans to unsuspecting clients who are desperate for money.  They have originated back east, and are all over in the west.  When you see  UNAVAILABLE OR 000-000-0000 OR similar numbers on your cell phone, don't answer.  Or if you do answer, tell them you are tracking the number for the police.  They hang up in a hurry!!!

    This was what I woke up to, after working 12 hours at a hospital. Googled the number and it is from Ft. Meyers. Didn't call, its probably a sweat shop in some mid eastern country.

    My son just got one while he was at work. Saying the same thing. They were gonna take him to court for $4200. He's never had a payday loan in his life. Since he's working, I'm doing the research. Very glad I found everyone here. We thought it was a scam cuz when we did reach someone & ask about the loan they hung up on him & when I called, I asked for a mailing address to "send the money to". They again hung up on me. Sad ppl have to be dishonest like this. But very glad there is a way of finding out before you give all your money away

    Plus they have so many grammatical errors in the letter they are supposedly a law firm.  Have never known a law firm to use the word than for the word then.  That is just one of the many errors I found while reading the one I received.

    I just received the same email, but I had my lawyer call them and of course they didn't answer. He even emailed them with no response.

    I have also received this  email normally i ignore these and don't open them. the only reason i opened it was because i have a student loan that uses the initials ACS. What made me look more into this was that the collection amount wasnt the same as my student loan and it doesnt at all address who this letter is to, but not all people look for clues in there email and give there money away. it is sad that they take advantage of others like this.How ever i will be printing this off and taking it into my local police. I think everyone should do so it is brought attention. so these people are caught and others are not scamed.

    Cash America employees in Ohio improperly stamped management’s signature on loan collection affidavits for almost five years without anyone prior review or approval. Don’t these people have morals, how could you go to work everyday knowing you are doing something wrong, the sad thing is this is how many of these companies are run. Caring is not their strong suit. http://www.castlelaw.net/library/cash-america ... g-documents.cfm
