347-289-3120

Caller is telling me I have committed fraud and need to contact them asap or they will start calling other family members. Foreigner on the line.

Received a call from ACS, stating they are collecting for Cash USA and they are trying to collect on a debt. I have never heard of this place and they said that they are representing some other agencies which are I did get a payday loan, I paid over 900 dollars on both of those loans and they were only 350 dollars loans. They would not answer calls, to stop taking money out of my checking so I closed it. I still have my records. I told him that I know that the loan companies are scammers and that the Attorney General of that state is looking for them and that I will turn them into the Attorney General of New York also. He started cussing at me so I terminated the call. I also told him if he was a reputable agency he would quit collecting for scammers. He said his name was Robert Williams. Sounded like an Eastern Indian accent.

rec'd a message from shawn black telling me to call him at 347-289-3120.  this is a scam.  he has been calling me off an on since last year.  same old story:  i am going to have a judgement placed on me and the cops will show up and arrest me for owing an online payday loan company.  about two years ago i did take out a couple of online payday loans AND PAID THEM.  these scammers got my info somehow and are now not only calling me, but also calling my references.  This is crap.  I know that i don't owe any payday company.  one of my references talked to him and she told him to F*** Off and that she wasn't interested in anything he had to say...he became irate with her and she hung up.  this loser speaks messed up english and sometimes loses track of what he is saying and repeats himself or hangs up and then calls back to leave another message.  The name changes every so often and so does the call back number, but it is the same spew and i am not afraid, just irritated that i can't get them to stop buggin me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This guy "Shawn" has called me twice in the past two days, wanting me to fax him some info on my bank account so they could withdraw what I owed a payday loan company.  Supposedly the loan was made in June, 2009 and I have looked at all my bank statements and there was no deposit into my account for that particular time.  From what I have read on the internet, just a bunch of scam artists.

I got a phone call today from some guy named Richard Jones from this phone number - 347-289-3120...He said I committed a fraud with some payday loan. He even left nasty messages with two of my family members. when I called him to discuss what he was talking about he got pissed off at me and said I had a judgement against my name and social security number, I told him I would not discuss anything with him over the phone that he could send what ever he wanted to me in the mail and I would have a lawyer look at it, I would not give him any information more then that. My aunt who recieved the first call said that she looked this number up and saw that it was all a fraud and I shouldn't do anything til I have someone look at it.

My girlfriend received a call from a Eric Johnson stating he was looking for me. She asked who he was and he said a friend of mine. She told him that she knew he was no friend of mine and he said he was looking for me because i owed on a payday loan. She called me and gave me the number. I called and spoke with this Eric Johnson and he explained to me that i was going to be sued by Cash USA for an outstanding pay day loan and i needed to pay $798.00. I asked him how much was the pay day loan for and he said $300.00, I told hom why should I pay $798.00 for a $300.00 loan, he agreeed to accept the $300.00, I gave them the bank card info to take the money after receiving an email. I should have looked into this before I authorized this money to be removed from my bank account. I sure wish I did. Now I will have to fight with my bank as I did authorize this transaction. They were supposed to send me a receipt by way of my email immediatly after taking the funds and they didn't and now when i call the phone numbers they called me from the mail boxes are supposedly full. HMMMM.

Dispute this transaction immediately with your bank and close your account. They are FRAUDS:

I only provided phone number, then I told if they had my number then they should have my name too. After repeating my phone number a couple of times the "supervisor" hung up on me. Beware!!!

I keep getting calls from a Andrew Thomas and on Friday He left me a message that he was going to start calling my Boss and friends if I didnot call him back. I have tried to call him back and he never there and there is an error with his mail box so I am unable to leave him a message. I have also gotten phone calls from the same company the only difference is that the caller's name is Joe Brown!

I have gotten phone calls from a "Joe Brown" and this caller has a foreign Accent he has also gone by the name "Dexter Brown" , "Dexter Frog" and Gerald and just today he said he was "Officer Brown"  I am not the person he is looking for I work with the person he is looking for.  I have told this person several times he can not speak with this person but I can take a message.  This caller has gotten rude with me.  I knew something was funny about this caller.  So this is why i decided to look this number up.. I will make the person I work with aware.  The number this person leaves is (347) 289-3120

This just happened to me today.

They have my social

Should I pay to make them stop?

Once again rcvd a call from this company  " Dept of ACS" this time the name caller left was Dexter Brown ph(347) 289-3120.  I had told this caller I could take a msg for the person he was looking for and this caller said" I have called serveral thousand times and I don't think you are giving msg"  I told this call I have and I have no control if this person calls back.  I also questioned why this caller has called and left diffrent names and I even gave names he has left behind the caller said that was other people in his office yet he had just told me he had called " several thousand times".  I just told this person I would take another msg.  Names this caller had used: Dexter Brown, Officer Joe, Joe Brown, Gerald, Dexter Frog, Gilbert.

First they asked me my name then quoted my social security. I refuse to give them info until they identified themselves.At which point Robert Williams came on and said I owed for a back cash advance and I need to pay it.At one time I did owe but hard time paying it back and I was never contacted by the company. I said I would pay what I owe and he sent papers over the internet for me to sign. In the meantime my daughter looked up the 800 site and found these posts. I called the company I was suposedly owing and as it turns out I owed noyhing. They didn' send anything to collections.I contacted the State attorney in my area and my local police dept. It seems they are very active with this scam in our area. The police couldn' do anything about it because techically its not a crime if money wasn't taken. they are aware of this and they will keep an eye on them.Robert williams called and when I told him he was a scammer and that I had checked with the company and that I had told the police and attorney He threatened me with court. I laughed and told him to go ahead, . I also wrote a letter to our Governor about the easy acsess these people have to information.

i just got a call today from  gentleman claiming he was from ACS ,claiming I owed Cash Usa. I told him i never had received anything from them, but from another company online as far as receiving a payday loan.He then had me talk to the attorney listening in to the recorded call,who went by the name of Andy Brown. He told me i am to be made an example by Cash Usa for fradulent loans, that i will be arrested,lose my h=job, won't see my family,etc. All he wanted was a yes or no answer to whether i would settle this today. i said no.The had my soccial security number,my address, and my email address.My sister is listed as a reference so they have her name as well. They called me 12 times from 1120 to 230 today.But they were telling me i owed amounts from 300 to 2000 after court costs. If they call again i will tell them what i know now.They are full of crap...

i just called this number, and while i guess it was arabic, it sounds like  a personal answering machine from the recording. this guy has some balls. i am aheart patient and i can't take this.

I had the same thing happen you need to notify police and your state federated trades office they said they need tosee where the activity is over the nation.with more complaints they can do something. don't worry they are just bluffiing. here is the number 877-382-4357

Report EACH call.  FTC Fines are $16,000 for EACH violation, CRTC 15,000 for EACH violation.

Same happened to me.I called  the state fedarated trade they asked me to write to everyone who is being scammed by this company and ask them to call 1-877-382-4357. The more complaints the more they have to go on and they need to see how wide spread this is. Read my notice on the board.

Consumer Alert: Attorney General warns Kansans of debt collection scam

January 29, 2010 -- Attorney General Steve Six is cautioning Kansas consumers about telephone calls from apparent fake debt collectors who are impersonating law enforcement officers in an effort to extort money from consumers.   Consumers are warned to not submit payments to these fraudulent debt collectors.

When calling, the scammers most often state they are attempting to collect a debt related to an internet payday loan obtained by the consumer, but which the consumer never repaid.  Consumers state they have never obtained such a loan or paid off the loan years ago.  The scam artists have most recently identified themselves as ACS, National Affidavit Processing Department and United Financial Crime Division, but may use additional phony names.  It appears the phone numbers used by the scammers are “spoofed” numbers, so that the number appearing on a consumer’s caller ID is not the actual number of where the call originated. It appears the calls in question may be originating from outside the United States.

When questioned, the individual calling refuses to disclose the full name or address of the collection agency they claim to represent.  These scammers have been able to provide consumers with identifying information, such as the consumer’s social security number, home address, e-mail address, names of family members and the consumer’s computer IP address.  Since the callers are able to provide valid personal information, consumers may become confused and believe they are being contacted in regard to a legitimate debt.

If the initial debt collection scam is unsuccessful, consumers have been re-contacted months later with the scammers posing as law enforcement officers or officers of the court.  Typically, the consumer is threatened with arrest for fraud or some other fictitious crime unless the consumer agrees to immediately wire money via Western Union.  The fictitious officers strive to frighten and confuse consumers into compliance by using legal sounding terms such as “We’re filing an affidavit against you” or by stating a lawsuit has been or is in the process of being filed against the consumer.

A hallmark of each scam has been calling consumers repeatedly at their place of employment.  This scam hit home when an employee of the Kansas Attorney General’s Office was repeatedly called both on her cell phone and at work.  Despite the employee’s repeated verbal disputes, the caller refused to provide any identifying information to allow her to send a written dispute. The scammer also continued to call her numerous times a day regarding a payday loan she denied obtaining. Two months later, she was again contacted by telephone by an individual identifying himself as an “officer”.

“I denied owing the debt and refused to pay without being provided validation of the debt. I was then told, ‘If that’s the case, I will have local law enforcement come to your place of business and drag you out kicking and screaming’,” stated the employee.

“It is important for consumers to know their rights under the law,” Attorney General Six said. “If a consumer is receiving calls from a debt collection company and believe it is a scam, I encourage them to contact our office immediately.”

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), collectors are required to send consumers a written notice within five days of the initial contact.  The notification should contain  information such as the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed and a statement informing the consumer they have thirty days to contact the debtor in writing to dispute the debt or request validation of the debt. In addition, legitimate debt collectors are prohibited by the FDCPA from making false or misleading representations, such as the consumer has committed a crime, implying nonpayment will result in the consumer’s arrest, or using the threat of violence.
