I have repeatedly received phone calls from an Indian Call Center caliming to be representatives of a Law Firm, ACS. I have done some research into this "firm" and have found it to be completely fraudulent. DO NOT give any information to these people and forward any information you have to the FBI...

    I have done a lot of research between yesterday and today after these scumbag scammers left a message at my mother's house yesterday. The message was from Brian Anderson at ACS, he said I was in breach of contract and being charged with fraud. He stated that if he didn't get a hold of me in 2 hours the police would be at my home to arrest me. Whatever, they really think people are dumb. So, I called them back yesterday at the at the number that was on my mother's caller ID 360-695-9184, disconnected. I called the 877-882-5684 that they left on the message. A woman answered, wanted my social I refused. I did confirm the last 4 digits, which I shouldn't have (they say they can't discuss if you don't verify). She stated I was being charged with defrauding a financial institution in 2008. I argued that I would have received something if this were the case and told her she is [***]. She said that will happen. She said "You can take care of this by paying me $600 now or deal with the judge". She asked for a debit card number. I got so pissed off, I started yelling. She told me to cut the attitude and to shut up. She said I would go to jail, I told her to go for it and I will wait until I receive something. As I researched this I found so many people that have been harassed by these idiots. Usually the same story (defrauded a bank, check fraud, unpaid payday loans, unpaid debts). The unpaid debts may or may not be true, but these people certainly have nothing to do with it. These stupid scum have hacked into something or purchased information on many people. They have names, DOB, SSN, drivers license numbers, names/phone numbers of relatives, etc. So, I called back today, Courtney answered. I asked for their website address, she said "That's private information, do you have a case number?". I told her no, she said they can't give any information about the company without a case number. I told her they are a fraud/scam and are being investigated, she hung up. I called back again, I immediately went to hold. I hung up and called back, again Courtney. I said "Are you the only one working there Courtney?". She said no and told me not to call again. I talked over her (she was trying to threaten me) and told her they are fraud and will be investigated, again hung up. Called back again and Antonio answered. I said "What is your website address Antonio?". He said "We don't have one yet". Bear in mind these people have been at this scam for 3 - 4 years, and no website? I went off on him that they are scammers and have been reported to the police, he hung up. So basically, these jerks think they can scare people until we start fighting back and telling them what we will do if they continue. They don't like being asked questions about their company, they can't give any information or provide documents about the so called bad debt owed. They tend to change their MO..this time it's about payday loans or debts. About a year ago they were calling people telling them they were in a criminal suite and had a restraining order issued on them. A couple years ago they called my sister in law and told her I was involved in a car accident, hit and run and being sued. This needs to stop. If they call, question them about their company. Record the conversations if you can and tell them they are being recorded. Tell them you are reporting them to the FTC, BBB, police, attorney general, FBI...and do it. The more complaints, the better chance we have of catching these morons. Here is some information that may help you:

    * They call from various 877, 866, 800 numbers and U.S numbers in various states. Sometimes the number will come in as 000-000-0000.
    * They may or may not have a middle eastern accent. They recently caught on that people weren't buying that someone named John Smith has a middle eastern accent, so they do have american accented people doing this now.
    * They will use phrases such as: Breach of contract, fraud, defrauding a financial institution, internet fraud, payday loan fraud, etc.
    * They will threaten that you will receive one or all of the following: court summons, failure to appear, email from the company, etc.
    * They will threaten you with: jail time, losing your job, notifying your employer/family or both, coming to your house at night, physically hurting you and I have even found threads where the male callers have threatened females with coming over to rape them.
    * They use very common last names such as: Cooper, Anderson, Smith, Taylor, Logan, etc. Usually common first names too.
    * They will not give you any information about the company. They will tell you it's private information or that their fax is broken, etc.
    * They will tell you that you can only pay with a credit, debit or prepaid card. They will not accept any other form of payment.
    * They will tell you that you are a loser, immature, cuss at you, call you stupid, call you horrible names, etc.

    Whatever you do DO NOT GIVE THESE SCUMBAGS ANY INFORMATION. Do not verify any of your information. Tell them they are a scam and law enforcement is working on tracking them down. Tell them you are recording them. Call them back and question them. Be sure to protect your credit because they have most of your personal information. Put a fraud alert on your credit file with all three credit bureaus. Report them to as many agencies as you can. And if you have ANY helpful information to add to this that will help catch these fools, please add it to this site. I am furious and ready to take these people down.

    I guess at least they are not telling me I owe them money, but they keep calling my work phone line and asking for a Daniel. When I tell them I don't know a Daniel, they ask me for the best number to reach Daniel...??? Really...??? How am going to give you a number to reach Daniel, when I don't know Daniel???  They are the rudest people. One time when I was trying to get answers out of them (they have called at least 6x) the lady yelled at me...."dont interupt me again"! What? Interupt you?!?! Get a clue!!! The last time I spoke with them, I let them know I was calling the Police and Filing a lawsuit....

    I am receiving phone calls from a process server that claims I took out a payday loan in 2009 from Cash Net and never paid.  I remember paying with my income tax that year, but of course I don't have a record now.  She say that she is going to come to my job, friends house, my home, and anywhere they can to serve me with a court summons.  She left messages with my brother in law, aunt, and my employer telling them that I committed check fraud and was going to be served.  When I spoke to her (Kim Washington) I asked if she could provide me with proof of the debt.  No paperwork coukd be given.  I am not going to pay for something that I have already paid for.  What can I do.  I do not want my family or friends to keep being harrassed on my behalf.  I also do not want my boss to keep coming and asking me all my business because this woman is telling him this crap.

    WARNING! THE INDIAN ACCENTED ACS IS A FRAUD! I got in contact with the REAL ACS at 888-878-5206 and they helped me with everything. They explained about the people in india hacking into their system, calling people, taking their money and getting away with it. The 888 number DOES NOT do that. They get your final statement on file before a company is about to sue you or whatever your case is. any number from 888 or 877 IS the real ACS

    Well, looks like the gang is still here.Called home,cell and work with the same tactics, only asking price was 840.00 which they were willing to negotiate. However,they couldn't say what date this loan was taken out or the amount.People are desperate.The ACS office reported is in Los Angeles,however they are calling from 415-358-1694, which is a San Francisco number. Glad I'm not crazy and I immediately found this site

      Yes they're also calling from 814-352-0205 number as well. I already have my place of employment tracing the calls and they're forwarding to the FBI. Not that has helped.

      Now its the office of Michael Ziegler,,,,(east indian voice) transferred twice.to a Michael St Clair.

      Lucky the police were here to listen to the call and again DO NOT give any information. HE hung up on me.

      I did call back and ask why they hung up on me. No answer.

      Good luck

    Yeah they called me too. I called them on their BS and told them to go ahead and send the police. I then started calling them all day. Every moment I got. They eventually started answering the phone very exasperated with me and told me I would receive no more calls. So far....so good.

    All - Please ignore calls from Robert King with ACS.  Perhaps we all should flood their call center to request payment for ???? 510-214-8398

    Good luck!
