I recieved the same e-mail, I was suspiscious, because of the " So as if now" in the email. It should have said, "So as of now". I called the number and the gentleman was rude, had a very thick Middle Eastern accent and told me he couldn't tell me which pay day loan company I had a loan with, they were associated with over 300 different PDL comapnies. When I told him I was going to check into this further, he was very rude and said I should "pay up" - not very professional. I told him I was going to call the PDL comapny I had used and he said"Call whoever you want girl" or something like that, I could hardly understand him, but I must say that his level of frustration, as I questioned him, was quite entertaining! Super Scam!!
Hey,
Just so you all know-these scammers are being investigated by the FBI. I have never taken a payday loan but I did try to get some information on them when my dog needed surgery-I never received any funds what so ever-but regardless, once they have your information, you're completely screwed. There was a tiny voice in my head saying dont do it! Don't put that info in! This was over two years ago-and I'm still receiving calls and just this morning, an email that is similar to the ones mentioned above only with a different $ amount owed. After doing some research at the end of last year, I found a post that had the FBI's info on it and called-they are infact investigating this. The number I called was in California-after speaking to an agent there that was extremely helpful, he let me know that the office in Michigan is actually taking the lead.
Please, we all work too hard for our money to let it get pilfered from us in some scam-do NOT give them one red AMERICAN cent! Jackwagons!
When will we as Americans stand up to this kind of garbage and stop it. Even though it goes no where, so people get upset with stuff like this. When will the American Phone Companies come to our aid and stop them from getting such numbers? Thanks for this site. I do hope the FBI is doing it's job on this one. God Bless All These Reply's .
Folks: I just received this email from the scammers and I know for certain I DO NOT owe anyone by that name. Here's the email.
This is the last notification e-mail in reference to your account # 42028162, with ACS INC. This is to notify you that after several phone calls and e-mails we were not able to get hold of you regarding this account. So as if now, this account goes to the further step. It could cost us both a great deal of time and money; you can avoid this by taking care of this now.
Just to remind you, this account is associated with a Pay day advance that you achieved with the company, the company when tried to extract the funds from your bank account as a repayment, the transaction were declined due to non-sufficient funds. It seems that you are not at all interested in making this debt good.
As we have shared in the previous letters, we will not at all be responsible for any legal charges against your name and your social security number. You will be responsible for the following:
1) Theft by deception.
2) Collateral check fraud.
3) And Violation of federal banking regulation.
The next step is clearly defined. The total outstanding balance is $866.34. If you wish to take care of this debt, do revert back in the next 2 business days and call us now on +1-302.387.0028 and one of the Account officers will be helping you in regards to this matter. If you do not respond to this account, we are going to download the legal case and once the case is processed, and you are found guilty you have to bear a lawsuit which will be five times of your total debt amount and that will be excluding your attorney charges, affidavit charges and the total outstanding amount.
I just got the same email message like everybody else did but mine said I owed $630.56. I emailed them back and told them I have never received any phone calls or emails from them and if they didn't stop, I was turning them in to the Federal Trade Commission.
