This number just called me. I answered once, no response on the other end. I will never answer again. Because of the economy there are hundreds of scams and fake bill collectors out there trying to make money.
Scam artists who claim to be representing “Quick Cash” are making fraudulent, “belligerent” and “harassing” collection calls in which callers threaten imprisonment and demand payment for defaulted loans from a variety of loan providers.
“Quik Cash” is consumer brand of QC Holdings (QC), an Overland Park, Kan.-based provider of short-term, “payday” loans. NEITHER QUIK CASH, QC HOLDINGS NOR ANY LEGITIMATE COLLECTION AGENCIES HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THESE CALLS.
Callers identify themselves as representatives of a collection agency called “A.C.S.” They typically confirm the victim’s identity, address, Social Security numbers, and bank information. They reference fake, overdue debts to “Quick Cash, “Sonic Cash” and other fictitious loan providers, and demand immediate credit card payments. They often reference fake court dates and possible imprisonment.
QC abides by collections standards set forth by the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act and the Community Financial Services Association.
