I have received 4 of five calls from the 1-050-782 number. They said they were from ACS and that I had a loan out that was never paid back. They stated that a lawsuit was filed against me and that I need to take immediate action. I did not have any loan out nor did I receive any information on this. I told them that I need to receive some sort of documentation supporting all this and they hung up. An hour later someone else called and I let it go to voice mail. They left a very nasty message. I am going to file a complaint with the FCC.
This number is for ACS. These are scum scammers. Yesterday I returned one of their phone calls. They had left four or five urgent and nasty calls. I called them to gather information. They told me that I had taken a loan from Advance Cash or Cash Advance in August 2009. I told him that was not true. I also told them that they had tried this same scam last year about this time, but they used a date of June 2008. I asked them what address they have for me. I told him that I had not lived there for four or more years. I was able to get an address (which is probably bogus) 28 Madison Street, Sebastian, FL 63163. The zip is not a good zip. When I returned their call yesterday I asked for him. When I was transferred to him he said, "Hello this is ..... Darren Martin". There was a pause and I could hear his chair moving like he was looking for who he was that day. I explained to him that I knew this is a scam and politely asked him not to call me again.
Later in the day, these scum scammers called again. Unfortunately, this message went into the wrong voicemail. The woman that received it said that the message was nasty sounding and it almost included a death threat. She was so worried for me that she copied down the number and deleted the message. This time the call was from 1-314-678-0985. I guess they use a local number so that if anyone is screening their calls they would pick up.
I called them back at the 772 number. A Nick answered the phone. I didn't say who I was. I guess they have called ID too. All I said was that I wanted to send them a check and where do I mail it to. He said very rudely that they didn't want my check and to never call them again and hung up.
I guess they don't like being bothered too. If they pay for every incoming call, maybe a course of action would be to flood them with calls. They obviously have to pay a phone bill.
I received a call from them a couple months ago claiming they were going to file an "affidavit" for a loan I supposedly took out over the summer. I informed them I never took out a loan and they insisted that they were about to file suit and that I should get my documents together. I told the guy that I know what I'm supposed to do because I work for an attorney and he hung up on me. Since I work for an attorney and I'm a notary, I know that an "affidavit" is nothing more than a piece of paper with words on it that the signer swears is true. Yes, it could be used in court as evidence, but if you can prove to the contrary, they can be liable for perjury. And as far as them claiming they are going to "file an affidavit", the correct term would be "file a complaint". They don't even know what they're talking about!!
I received another call about ten minutes ago from a "Jimmy Carter" (with extremely heavy Indian accent and very broken English). He started making the same claims that were made before. I told him to stop calling me or I would file charges and hung up on him. He called back three times and I kept hitting the ignore button. He finally left a voicemail stating that I've been ignoring their phanton messages that were never left and that this is my last chance to call them back. The number kept showing up on my phone as 1-050-782, but he left a call back number of 772-934-8008. When I googled the number, this post showed up along with many other links to other consumers complaining. If they've been doing this to so many people, how have they not been caught and stopped yet?
I have filed a complaint with the FFC - if enough are filed maybe we can stop this go to https://esupport.fcc.gov/form1088 you can file it online....... They called my office 11 times in one day
