This a fraud company operated from Pune, Maharashtra, India.. The people here are completely ignorant of this fact. The employees themselves dont know that they r in such a mess.. I came 4m America just 2 research on this. I was not able 2 find out how they get the information but watever they tell u about the attorney and related stff is a fake.. nothing is going to happen to u.. The number cannot be traced because it is routed through an American no. and the number supposedly changes every week. The money that is taken out 4m some innocent people is processed and goes into the pockets of the related management.
Due to these complaints they have changed their name 2 AMERICAN CREDIT SERVICES. THIS IS THE SAME FIRM.
I plead everyone not to give any CREDIT or DEBIT or PREPAID DETAILS. If they say they are an Attorney ask for their Bar no. If not given deny by saying dat until u get a Hard copy u wont be paying Anything. If they say they will provide the Hard copy thru Investigators to your Employer, do not fall for it, nothing will happen to Any one.
IF THIS MESSAGE IS REPLIED WITH THE E-MAIL ADDRESS, I AM READY TO PROVIDE THE EXACT ADDRESS AND RELATED LOCAL PHONE NUMBERS.
HAS ANYONE THAT HAS BEEN HARRASSED BY THESE PEOPLE EVER STAYED AT A HOLIDAY INN HOTEL CHAIN OR IS A MEMEBER OF THE PRIORITY CLUB THROUGH INTERCONTINENTAL HOTEL AND RESORTS.
I started receiving calls from them today as well... saying they were going to call my employer and come by my residence. They also said they are fixing to download a file on me to the local county court. Funny thing is, they are using my old name, not my married name. Thick indian accent, the guy goes by Steven Johnson.
I received a call yesterday afternoon from a man with a very thick Indian accent who called himself Officer Shane Watson with the Legal Affidavit Office representing US Nation Bank. He asked if I had an attorney and of course I said yes (since I work with 14 of them). He said I had taken out a loan in June 2008 and I never repaid it. He said they tried to debit my account but it was returned. I remember a company trying to take money out of my account once before and I believe this is the same company. He said if I didn’t pay $850.00 today (yesterday) I would go to jail.
When I started to questioning him he said he wanted to read me the affidavit and then I could ask questions. I pressured him to give me a case number, reference number, the name of the company or amount of the loan. He then got 2 “attorney” on the phone which I never got to talk with. Shane said I had to pay $850.00 by 5:30 or they would start legal proceedings and pres charges for check fraud, theft and that I would be arrested within 24 hours.
The scary part of this was when he started to give me my full name, address, Social Security number, the name of my bank account, my husband information and the names and phone numbers of two of my closes friends. When I told him I only had 12.00 in my bank account he started to speak in his native language and hanged up the phone. I started to Google the telephone number he had called from and it came back as a debt collection scam.
A few minutes later I received another called from Officer Milson saying he was private investigator. And that I need to authorize him to debt my account. I immediately hanged up the phone and called both of my banks and give them full deal on what was happening.
So far I've been in contact with my local police department and file a report with them. I put a 90-day fraud alert on my SSN with the 3 credit reporting agencies, filed an online complaint with our State Attorney General office. I received an email from "Officer Shane Watson" requesting that I fill out the form and fax it back with my credit card information. see below-
