      Just received a call from them...threatening to serve me with a summons on fraudulent check for payday loans that I have in debt consolidation...I told them this, but they said they don't work with them and for the consolidation company to call them...when I told them I wanted the debt in writing in the mail, she said for me to have a nice day in court and hung up on me...she actually sounded American...horrible for people to play on others this way...I called my debt consolidation company and they told me it was a scam and then I found these posts...number they are using is 877-672-6803...told me my docket number was 1102941.

          Usually they get it from "payday loan lead broker" sites, or from fake "payday loan application" sties.
          People who have applied for payday loans are vulnerable to this con because they often have past payday loans, even paid ones, and the swindlers can use this combined with the information they collect to fake the appearance of "collecting" on one of the real loans, even when it's paid, or owed to the original lender.

          People assume when they are threatened, and when they have information like name, employer, address, SSN, etc, that they must have gotten it from the payday lender.

          There are overseas, often Indian scammers pulling this, but there are also US based "debt collectors" running this racket as well.

          There are also overseas "loan" cramming scams, that get information from an application, without disclosing terms, then cram a deposit through, followed by quick withdrawls of "interest" at grossly inflated rates, so that they have in a few weeks pulled out all of their "principal", plus "interest" which is pure profit, before the victim even knows they are being fleeced for a "loan" they never even agreed to.

          Only way to stop it is to file fraud disputes through your bank, and shut down the account, since the perpetrators hide overseas, out of US jurisdiction.  When you block their unending charges, you can expect to start receiving very threatening calls, threatening "prosecution for fraud", etc.  These may be from overseas, or from real shady "debt collectors" in the US, who buy these "loans" to further profit from the con.

            Hi, I have a question. I have no clue if this is entirely true because it is coming from my ex husband. We are separated but not legally divorced he lives in KY, I live in NY. We have the same name spelled the same and everything except for middle initial. He is very bitter about separation so idk what to believe or how to find out the truth, I guess what I'm asking is your opinion. He said a man called the other day, from a private number and asked for like I said same name, he said yes this is so and so, and he said this is he couldn't even give me a name from a federal Ss administration lawyer, we have a federal warrant for your arrest he said I get Ss, he said are u so and so and he replied no that is my ex, well do you know where she is he said no. He also said he was a [***] (I'm guessing India idk) so I have no clue how to tell if I actually have a warrant on me, my Ss number has been used numerous times in Ny I even went to Ss office about a yr ago here, if it truly was federal Ss warrant or whatever couldn't they just type in Ss number a find me? I had payday loans out yrs ago and my health started failing and haven't repaid, but as far as Ss fraud I can't figure out what it would be doesn't make sense, just want your opinion. Thanks

      I am currently on the phone with them, the lady that I am talking to has a very recongnizable ebonics/black accent.  I have not talked to anyone from India, they have now brought this over to our own country.  I am letting them know that there is a trace on the phone call so that their location is pinpointed to scare them off.

      Okay now I do have a problem.  I did take out a small $250 payday loan which I thought was being taken out of my account - due to identity being stolen closed bank account and notifiied them that I would be getting them new account number.  I forwarded information to them but apparently they never got and they went ahead and sold the loan to a company which I called and they apparently sold to someone called ACS so after reading all these posts now I'm concerned are they scammers - I can't deal with heavy INDIAN ACCENTS they talk with sh...... in their mouths I just want my $250 paid.  Tried calling the number I was given by the last collections agency who apparently didn't want it so sold it.  I was never contacted by them.  Now I am trying to contact them at 866-641-3995 and no one is ever there vm are full.  Help me someone what do I do.  I don't want harrassing calls. I've had too much stress, son had porch collapse on him and I needed quick money for medications for him, husband died and another one of my children had an emergency operation.  Please advise what can I do.  I just want this small amount paid and now if I do reach them are they scammers??????????

        ive got the same call from ACS offices when you trace the number its not found, Another thing that tells you its fraud is when they want payment with a master card or prepaid card only , and when you request something threw the mail or over your e-mail to verify who they are and to put all the info about the loan in writing so you can verify everything they wont give you anything till you give them your card info , like im giving them info over the phone and they wont send me anything in writing that will be a cold day in h***.

        I get the same thing from phone #855-799-4492, ACS collection agency.  They are not foreign.  They have called my mom, my sister, my dad, my boyfriend, and of course, myself.  They really are relentless.  They can never give you any information on who they are collecting for.  There is no way that they can sue you or put you in jail.  They are hoping to get someone that actually believes their crap.  The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act prohibits collectors from making threatining phone calls to you or especially anyone in your family or your place of employment.  They have been calling me since last October and I have not been sued or arrested yet.  I sometimes answer when they call and ask them when the cops are coming for me and they start to yell at me and call me names.  Today they called and I talked to a girl who told me to get a job and stop waiting for my welfare check.  I'm not on welfare and I have a job....I'm surprised they have not obtained that phone number yet.  Anyway, they are people with no morals and I wish I could find out where they are calling from.  Just don't let them scare you into giving them your hard earned money!
