rec'd call ar my place of work from alex matthews from acs-kept telling me that he has my coworkers name,supervisiors name,family members,friends phone numbers but he asked me for my cell number.
i asked him for a physical address and he said he didn't have to give me that. i advised him that this was my work number and i was not supposed to get calls at work. i then disconnected the call and
he called back again. i will report this to the attorney general office and anyone else to get these scammers. this man had a very heavy foreign accent and was verbally threatening. i have a recording of the phone call on my phone..
i find it very weird that he had my work number but not my cell number which is the only personal phone i have.
This is a scam. The Better Business Bureau has released many alerts on this scam, google "bbb.org alert phony debt collector" Variations of this scam exist so read all the alerts to get a flavor of what they are. Spare the turkey, kill a scammer!
Received a call today on my confidential line at work (tell me how they know that??) and also on my cell phone. They know the last 4 of my SS #, my mothers name, the name of where I work and everything. They are SCAMMERS!
They used to call me threatening that they were with the Law and Investigation Department for the United States. Come on...really? I caught them in a lie then. They claimed I took a cash advance out when I asked when the alleged advance was taken, I told them they were full of crap...I did not have a bank account at that time!!! Also, I notified them that The USA government would not call people for payday advances threatening jail time!!!!!!Maybe they do that in Pakistan or India, but not here. Shawn Johnson was the person that called me from there.This time it is "Jackie Williams"...Please!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Im not stupid.
They changed the name of the company that they are "allegedly" collecting for from Cashnet USA to USA Cash advance. They will stop at nothing but DO NOT GIVE INTO THEM!
They are threatening to arrest me if I do not call back. They state that I have 3 legal actions pending against my SS #...??? AND my cell phone does not have an outgoing message from myself on it. Only my #...they left all of this information on my voicemail which is illegal if you are a legitimate collection agency!!!!!
P.S. I dont owe them a dime! Never had a cash advance!
A man named John called my job looking for me and said that I owe a loan. Even though I do owe for a loan, I am paying them. He had a very thick accent, Pakistanian I think but after I told him that I was not there, he asked me for my managers name and number and I said, Where they do that at? I say why do you need the managers number, she is not going to pay it so we do not connect the manager for situations like this. He kept asking where the manager was and I said, in a meeting and he wanted me to get her out of the meeting to speak with him. I told him that is not allowed. I called him back and another person with a thick accent answered the phone and said he did not see my paperwork. I don't know what I am going to do to get rid of them but this is the 4th or 5th call!!!
SOME GUY NAMES STEVE ANDERSON (PROBABLY PUMADALI ALI BABA OR SOMETHING!!) CALLED LEFT MY CO-WORKER/FRIEND A MESSAGE TO CALL HIM BACK... HE LEFT ME A MESSAGE STATING HE HAD MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS.... AND TO BE A BIG GIRL AND CALL HIM BACK... SO HE DOES NOT HAVE TO CALL AND BOTHER MY FRIENDS.... I CALLED BACK THE NUMBERS ON MY PHONE LOG WITH THE SAME AREA CODES AND PREFIX... INCLUDING HIS... AND THEY ALL ANSWERED... "HELLO?" WELL WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS WOULD ANSWER JUST HELLO... NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL... AND DEFINITELY A SCAM... BECAUSE I LOOKED THE NUMBER UP AND IT ALL T-MOBILE CELL PHONES.... AND THEY ARE TRYING TO GET YOUR INFO TO GET YOUR MONEY FROM YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS.... !!! DON'T GIVE THEM ANY INFO....
Same thing here. I started talking to him in a heavy Indian accent when he asked for me. I told him "I am sorry Sir. Mr Robert is not at homme at this time!" He was quiet for a second and asked who I was, and in my attempt at a very heavy Indian accent, told him "I am Tom Jones" He finally hung up. I sure hope he calls back.
