I too have been plagued by these people for almost a year now. They use various company names and the last name they gave me was Affidavit Consolidation Service. I have had them pretend to be officers of the court and they always use American sounding names and sometimes names of celebrities. They make claims that I have outstanding payday loans and that I will be charged with five counts of fraud or that my case goes in front of a judge the next day if I do not settle the matter with them. I have asked many times for them to prove that I owe a debt or even give the name of the company that I supposedly owe. They never have provided me any of that information; instead, they usually get angry and start insulting me, my family and Americans in general. I have also had them hang up on my countless times when I confront them, then maybe two or three weeks later, the calls start again. Why am I not in jail yet?
I do however have a suggestion for anyone else with the same "friends" that call me. Let's work together and fight fire with fire and get their names and contact numbers and pass them on to as many telemarketers (or any website that asks for a phone #) as possible. Let's clog up their phone lines every time they change their numbers, maybe we could even get enough people together to call them non-stop on a selected date like maybe Saturday 1/08/10. I'm going to post this on other sites like this one. Please help spread the word!
THEY KEEP CALLING MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT EVEN AFTER REPEATED REQUESTS TO NOT CALL MY WORK. THEY HAVE GOOD CONTACT INFORMATION FOR ME, THEY JUST CHOOSE TO NOT USE IT. EACH TIME I CALL THEM FROM MY PHONE NUMBER THEY HABG UP ON ME. THEY HAVE THREATENED ME AND THEY HAVE THREATENED MY COWORKERS.
Thick Indian Accent...could barely understand, said something about a friend that i havent spoken to in years...that is basically all i got of it, it was a VM...He said call back mike smith...HA! an indian w/ a name like this.
These people keep calling me stating I owe money for something I never took out. I have been threatened with being arrested and I told them to come get me. I work in collections I understand the FDCPA laws and follow them completley. I have told them serveral times to not call me at work, but they refuse to listen I have never verified any information and never will. DO NOT GIBE THEM ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION AT ALL. I have reported it to my local police department.
"George Smith" from the legal department of ACS called to tell me of an important legal matter . He said "before something goes wrong with you and your social security ending in (4 last digits of my SSN) call me. I just want to keep you safe..." He called my work, my cell phone and a friend of mine. I will be reporting them to the Social Security Office for the threats.
Two days ago my daughter received a call from Kim Smith from ACS and the number she was callilng from started with a + (international?). Kim Smith was trying to get in touch with me for a Payday Loan that I hadn't paid back. I have never taken out a Payday Loan. My daughter would not give her any information and she got a call back number from Kim Smith which had a New York area code.
I did not return the call and Kim hasn't called back.
I filed a fraud alert on my credit file and will be checking my accounts daily just in case. I really feel if they had all the information they needed to steal my identity, they would not be calling. I think they are trying to get more information or scare people to send money.
My daughter and I have different last names, how do they make the connection and get her cell phone number to call her, looking for me?
