ACS INC - What strategies should you adopt to avoid being scammed?

Would you still have the email address they sent from? I too am being harrassed by this company. They went as far as call both my boss and my HR person to tell them they were coming to serve me papers, anything you have would help.

Thank you:confused:

They are a scam do not pay them a cent

i received an email today as well telling me that they are going to prosecute they also called my home pretending they are an attorney. their is also another company based out of california doing this. I called the state attorneys office in california and was informed that their is a company that is doing this to people and apparently have tricked many people into paying them with their scared tactics. Im sure they scare a ton of elderly into this and hope that their is a way to stop them .

What is the phone #

i recieved several threats at my job that they are going to serve me with this warrant for 300

I keep getting calls from these people even called my grandmother stating they were sending local authorities to pick me up. Almost gave my grandmother a heart attack. I am in Illinois. I believe they did get a friend of mine though... How do we stop them, thanks for the advise that is posted that it is a scam. I didn't think I cold go to jail for not paying a bill, I didn't even obtain.

i also recieved the same phone calls and also just recieved an email to take me to court tomorrow for a loan i never recieved or applied for. im relieved it is a scam, and im not really being sued!:o

I think I know what they really want. They post a number asking you to call them and so they sit back and wait.

Once they receive a call they know that their email was successful and they take the numbers and run checks on them.

You can pay online to have that done and so it gives them the jackpot for what they're really after, NAMES, ADDRESSES, TELEPHONE NUMBERS.

A person with bad intentions can do really bad things with information like that. Spread the word, tell everyone you can NOT to call their posted numbers because it's a trap.

i recieved an email stating that they been trying to call me and that I owe them $814.00. And that i had an upcoming court date. Havent heard from them since

I just received an email from them. these people have been after me for 2 years. I did have someone steal my idenity and they know it I guess. The number they gave me is 1-727-474-1146 which is an overseas number. They told me my ss # is on hold and I owed $921.06 and if it went to the court on Friday I would owe court costs of $4271.15. On top of the $921.06. Two years ago we had a lady steal my identy and take us for 8000 dollars

I'm glad I looked decided to look ASC up on the net. I too have been receiving emails from this company about owing them money and they were going to prosecute me if I didn't pay. As I knew this was a scam. Is there a way these people can be tracked down and prosecuted?

These people have been calling my job and sending me emails saying itook out a paday loan on the internet and tht i never payedit back and that they are going to prosecute me in a couple days.(good luck with that). They had all of my bankig information my social security number everything. Talking about federal charges. They told me to contact them at phone number 1 347 796 4448. Watch out for this.It is definitely a scam!

Don't do anything. These mofo's are scam artists and not very good ones at that. Ignore them and if you have "my number" installed on your phone you can block them permanently.

I just received an email from ACS incorp (acs.statesattorney@gmail.com) & and phone # 347.708.0067. I do not know the company ACS and haven' treceived any calls from the phone #. I did have a payday loan but paid it, but it wasn't with ACS.

The email is threatening immediate court action. Don't know what to do.

I just got an email from them today. Out of concern i called them. He asked for my name, with his accent of a middle eastern Indian, and said my account was out standing for along time i will receive the paperwork in 7-10 business days. They say I owe 928.00. But when i started to question him more he hung up on me.

The email said they would garish my wages and had me on 4 allegations.
Now i sit and wait for paperwork. Mean while I'll do more research on them.

I got an email saying I owe $928.15 and to call them at 1-321-328-8787 and if I do not call in 48 hours I will be in trouble and they will notify my bank.

debts are civil, not criminal. No action can be taken against you. Simply ignore. They are operating illegaly. If emails and/or calls persist report them to your state's AG and the FTC.

I received a email from ACS inc and it said that I needed to pay them 998.79 that I need to call them with my debit card to freeze all actions set against me this is not true if you got a loan for someone via wireless they need your information to do so by them not having your debit card number means they didn't give it to you and you don't need to pay anything. Be aware of who take money from if you did get a laon call your laon place and talk to them before paying any money

GOT E-MAIL AND CALLED ME AT WORK DONT KN THESE PEOPLE ANY WAY TO STOP THEM?

I recieved a email from theses aholes stating that if i did not pay x amount of money they where taking me to court. I have been battling theses people for six months ive reported them to everyone i could but i recieved no help from anyone the FBI said they cant catch them which i believe is bull i was able to find exactly where they where they were calling from if anyone was able to get any help concerning theses guys please post

well acsi aka allied watch out, you messed with me for the last time. i am sending copies of my phone records my work phone records and copies of my medical bills for all the times i went to the er with chest pains from all these everyday calls and threats, now i am being harrassed at work,well if i loose my job everyone does. just a reminder watch what you say to someone on the phone.

They told me that if I didn't pay them 955.42 by tomorrow that I would then owe them $4958.00. I thought it was legit thank god my bank wouldn;t let the transaction go through.

I as well as the rest of you have been receiving calls and emails from all sorts of scams for the past 2 years. This particular "acs" scam, I received an e-mail that read like the rest. I'm getting prosecuted in the court house....ok, the email sucked. Words were misspelled and wrong words were used in places, almost impossible to understand. Big corporations do know how to use spell check and speak in legal terms. They also do not use gmail accounts, and they don't understand, they are a law firm, collection agency....no telling what else. Look around people!!!!!! YOU CANNOT BE CHARGED FOR FAILURE TO REPAY A LOAN!!!! I advise contacting the FBI and filing a complaint online. Meanwhile.....why not call and harass them in spare times of boredom. Lol. Good day people

Actually that email address where they are implying they are a "state attorney" would be a major FDCPA violation...impersonating a court official.

I received an email and when asked for proof they couldn't do nothing - What scares me is they have my SSN and DOB birth. I will now place a fraud alert on my SSN with the credit departments. He even gave me a phony address in NY the number was listed as 727-474-1146

This is the exact email i got this morning. I called because i have had scam callers more in the last six months than i ever have before.The first one i got was actually true but the last two have been scams. like this one they sent me the exact same email saying i owe like 987.00 and that they were going to take me to court and had a hold on my ssn and all this crazy stuff. i called him back i couldn't understand him he was muffled and loud noises in the background. i ask him what company he was through and i wanted to make sure it was a leggit company he avoided my question a few times than he said he will have the attorney of the company call me and hung up and i have not received a call back which i have not. i think this is a scam doesn't seem real. the number they used 347-796-4448 so be careful do not give them any money.

I received an email today from ACS Inc. In it they told me I owed them 902.00 and that they had my social security number. That they were going to contact my employer....... and that if I did not contact them within 48 hours with payment that I would be sewed for the amount of 4,271.15. I was told to call 727 474-1146. Has anyone been told to call this number??

I was called last month by a guy named Richard Wilson to my cell phone amd to my place of work! stating that I needed to pay 472.00 and if i didn't pay i was going to go to court. I asked for proof and they said that everything is paperless. that they dont have any information to give me. Then After the 10th time I recorded the call and I talked with the police, the police tolde tha it sounded Scam, the next time I said then good luck with that beacause this is a scam and I talked with the police, then after one month today I received a e-mail from them again! I don"t know what to do!?

Ignore these scumbags. This is what they do, hound and hound you. Delete their emails and if they call, hangup on them. You are not obligated to speak with them.. There is nothing they can do but you should flle a complaint to your state's AG and the FTC.

Here is the number that are stating that needs to be called with my "debit card" number 386-243-7864 from 9:30 am - 6:30 PM eastern standard time.

Thank you for posting your comment about this ACS.com I have had several threatening calls from these people. They have an accent from Iran/Iraq/India/Pakistan ( one of them) They sent me an email saying if I don't Pay $900 plus they will take action against me which would result in costing me over $4000. This is scary and I hope people don't respond to them. They should harrass their own people in their own country, their people wouldn't put up with it and would probably execute them.

LOL I just told them that I was in the area code that they were calling from and that I would love to get their address so I could come by and settle this matter in person. LOL well they are from 347 and I won't say what area code I'm calling from but it certainly wasn't 347. Once I did that they hung up and now when I call it rings once and then a busy signal. HA!............criminals!!!!!!

Watch out for emails from these people. I received an email today threatening charges if I did not pay some 900.00 +
Turn this in to the internet crimes unit and your states attorney general so they can make people aware this is going on and hopefully catch the ones doing this but do not fall for their gimmick.

Wow. They are batch emailing to accomplish their fraud.. My email had the exact same amount.

I just received an email telling me I am going to be brought up on charges - bank fraud, check deception, violation of federal banking laws and violation of EFT. I have to report everything to my employer. What kind of place is this. Is everyone sure this is fraud?

Send them a cease and desist in writing.

Thank you for this info. I should have read the wording more closely because they can not write english very well either.
I got an e-mail from then that I was going to end up in court if I did not pay then 925.35. It up set me big time. It is to bad we can not find these people and take then out. I'm sure they have hurt a lot of people with scam.

Just got a threatening email from these a-holes! Beware, everybody...they are phoney as a 3 dollar bill.

I received an email on my email telling me I was going to prosecuted in the court house in a couple of days - I am so sick of these people harassing me at work. I wish there was a way to prosecute them

I love the part where they tell you:
"You have the right to hire an attorney. If you don't have one or if you can't afford then one will be appointed to you."
They must watch too much TV.
United Legal Investigation Bureau? what the heck is that.
This is beyond comical.

I wonder if there's any way that the authorities can successfully block all transactions from these bozos to prevent any more people from getting ripped off.

Hey man!!

You have no idea of how thankful I am with you by posting this. I almost s%$t my pants; a few minutes ago I read this email that came from these acs inc people telling me about some charges against me for fraud and for biolating federal regulations etc etc. I figured I better check it out and I found your post. Thank you very much it make sense to me now these people are something else.

Take care and Thanks again

im getting emails and phone calls at my job saying I owe 945.00 or there taking me to court in a couple days. I have told them repeatively, DO NOT CALL MY JOB, under fdcpa laws once u tell a collections agency not to call your place of work they arent not permitted to call but this company gets nasty and rude and will call back many times. There ignorant and its all fraud.

I just receive a email today stating my social security number was placed on hold and bank account on hold I don't even have an bank account thats so funny, because I failed to reply to the criminal charges against me and I don't pay there 989.89 their going to file a lawsuit for $4325 and get this they told me I should quite my job never been in trouble not once with the law and after I watch the news they had a story on there about the scam and get this they "company email address" was an gmail account so a scam big time
