owing money to advance cash services

Complaint

Country: United States
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.

    So once again, the scammer has tried to get money out of someone else. This chick is the wrong one to mess with. Whats scary is, he knew my last 4 digits to my social, address, my full name and what bank I am with. I instantly called FTC and was advised to close the bank account. I did. My next step will be FBI and the media. This guy will not bring the people down that actually work for their money. Yea, I agree, we should get retribution from the time and anguish we endured when "Matt" is brought down.

      Everyone will have your last 4 digits of your ssn# because that is what companies use to identify you most of the time.  I have electric, cable, cell phone, banks ask me for it everyday.  They are scammers.

    I received an e-mail from this same guy. It is definitly a SCAM please do not fall for this. I am going to report this person and this company. I also received a call from some guy with a heavy Indian accent. They claim to be legal yet the beat around the bush with letting you speak to a manager or supervisor. I even had one person tell me to call them back when they couldn't answer my questions. They are full of it and I refuse to send them anything !!!!!!!!!!! Because I have no outstanding pay day loans. I just hope no one else falls for this scam.

    You guys have the same problem FBI really can't do anything since they are located in India. Best bet is to contact Indian authorites

      Actually authorities here in the states can do something because the whole operation is based out of California.  Do a little more research and you will find that these Indian Scammers are being backed by someone here in the states.

    I got the same email email to but it was a different amount. I did not email them back, I just deleted it, but the next time I see the email, I will forward it to the fbi. By the way that email is a scam. They find your info off of facebook or something.

    Yeah, I got the same email, different amount, different phone number.  I was immediately suspicious and refrained from contacting them for 2 reasons; 1) I've never heard of the company Advance Cash Experts and 2) why would they send me this email as a blind carbon copy?  I let it sit for a day, then started looking up this ACS Legal group and found this page.  I decided to dig into the header of the email and located the IP address it was sent from.  Not only are they scamming, they are spoofing their IP address to hide behind Google. Idiots.  Don't mess with a computer tech.  Forwarding this email to the authorities now.

    They have email me twice claiming I owe money for a payday loan that never happened. When I spoke with the guy one the phone he has cursed me out, threatened me, threatened nulidad life, has been calling my work place after I told him he's not allowed to call there. I told him that I have my bank statements showing proof that there was no loan taken out and that I filed chapter 7 bankruptcy and owe no money to no one. I also filed a complaint to the internet complaint center. If he doesn't stop I will pursue with a lawyer and a lawsuit will be filed against Acs legal group for harrassment.

    Same message...same demand...and no documentation.  This is a fraud.  Report these guys...and know that they will be back with another scam since they are most likely untouchable operating out of the US from a phone booth or apartment laptop somewhere in Pakistan or India.
