owing money to advance cash services

Complaint

I received an email from a Matt Williams of ACS Legal Group claiming I owe Advance Cash Services $529.00. I know this is bogus because I never got a loan with advance. It has threatened me with a lawsuit if not paid within 2 days. I do have pdls with other companies and am working with a debt solution company to pay them off. These scumbags need to be caught thrown in jail and the key thrown away. They prey on innocent people and need to be punished severly.

      I too got an e-mail from Matt Williams and e-mail him asking for more details. I also called him 3 times and he hung up on me each time. Why can they get away with this stuff?

    I got the exact same email on 6/18/12.  I emailed him back and asked for documented proof of the loan.  Never heard back.  Then two days ago a different company called with the same type of claim. When I said "I've checked my statements, and I never received any amount of money from that company.  Please show me the paperwork on this loan... They hung up on me.  I reported them to my local BBB, the Federal Trade Commission, AND the State Attorney General.  I may report his guy too.

    Just got a email from this operation as well. I emailed back basically asking and saying what everyone else has. I asked for a copy of bill and if they can't produce one for me then leave me alone or more contact with the BBB and FTC will be made

    Warning ACS is a scam they have everyones person information and they have different phone number they just emailed me and I emailed them back again there number this time is different then the last time. Everyone needs to file an internet fraud complaint everytime they email you by law they can't threat you with court papers and a sheriff. All there info in the email is against the law.

      I got an answer to one of my 4 e-mails that I sent - they offered a lower amt. just like many of you have said!!  I still wrote back and told him that I first wanted to see the original loan documentation.

    Just got the same email message.  I think we should get a class action law suit going since everyone has already reported these guys to the FTC and its only a matter of time before they get put in jail.  I think we should all benefit from the wasted time and stress over something so fake.

    Anyone know if this is a possibility?

    I received the following message a day or two ago.  They have been trying to scam me for 3-4 years via phone calls and emails.  Notice how their contact number changes.  I've requested them to send me the information and loan documents but they cannot do that for some lame reason.

    Like all of you, I received the same email. I will admit, it scared me enough to call "Matt" and the more I talked to him, the more I realized that something wasn't right. Honestly, I have a few loans out that I'm paying for. If there is an outstanding one, I'm not aware of it. So, "Matt" wants me to get something called a MoneyPak from Walgreens and fax over the receipt to him. He was not willing to negotiate any payment plans but if I sent one "settlement payment" thru a MoneyPak, then I'm cleared. First of all, I've never, ever made any type of payment with a MoneyPak. I've never even heard of that. And secondly, all loan officers or collection departments I've ever dealt with are willing to set up payments. Well, I'm so glad I started looking around for this "ACS Legal Group" business and "Matt" person. My suspicions are right, this joker is a fraud! He won't be getting a dime from me! This whole thing is scary because I was jolted enough by his stupid email to call him. I'm a single mom and believe me, I need every penny I earn. I hope nobody falls for this scam. Unfortunately, I'm sure "Matt" does get money from some of us who are all too trusting. It really is a shame. I hope "Matt" and his whole fraudulent scam is ended and brought down soon! And I will be reporting this!! Shame on them!!

    Got the same message. Do you know you can complain to the FBI internet complaint center. I did for another company . This time I did it again and gave the reference # to "Matt" in an email in case he wanted to really talk to the FBI about my complaint against him.

    I got the same email also.  I asked them to send payment instructions, and they sent me an email asking for my name, address and phone number.  They stated that they do not accept payment via ACH, Visa or Master cards anymore.  So i should send payment via Money paK.  That's enough for me.  I'm glad I found your emails. I'm not sending any money either. Money Pak? come on!!! Are they serious?
