(813) 319-2652

I received a phone call from the number 052-497-347, left by a guy on my voicemail with a thick Indian / Pakistani accent claiming to be "Alexander Wilson" or something like that. He told me to call him back immediately, claiming that there was an affidavit filed against me.  He also said that some cash advance loan companies were pursuing litigation against me for outstanding payments on loans from them...that I never even received! One of the "loans" was for $300. He told me to call him back at 813-319-2652 to resolve this "problem" (outstanding debt from a loan I never even got) or I would be taken to court and brought before a judge.So I called him and it sounded like the same guy, and used a different name than the one provided to me in the voicemail. It was another plain-Jane English name. I basically asked him how I could rest assured that this was not a scam, and for him to confirm that my "debt" and the collection company he represents is legit. I told him I never received the loan(s) he claimed I did; he told me to tell the judge that. The discussion got rather heated between us and after I asked if the bill collection was legit, he abruptly hung up on me. So yeah, this has scam written all over it.

I just got a call from an Eric Matthews who obviously is not an Eric Matthews based upon his accent, who claimed to be from some ACS--these are the same scammers that are calling claiming to be James Davis, and Officer John Cop from the American Law Division or US Investigations...etc. Do not give them money. They are all in the same organization of scammers and they are trying to harrass you, blackmail you, and I could go so far as to say they are trying to extort money from you.

contact the Federal Trade Commission and report them.  It will shut them down until they move to a new city.  It is a scam.

I received a telephone message from someone stating his name is Joe Martin and he works for some finance company. The message he left was if I didn't call back immediately, I would face serious charges. The man sounded to be foreign. I'm sure this is not a real company. When I called the number back it doesn't ring, an automated service picks up and says you have reached box 495933. There is not company name, live person or anything. I wish these people would stop calling me.

That just happened to me this morning.  I laughed.  he got very angry with me, because I asked for specifics.  He told me not to waste his time. Afterwards, I got upset and called the police.  I was afraid my identity was stolen again.

OMG, I just got a call on Monday from a Rick Thomas and that he wished me good luck if I didn't call him back regarding my SSN.  Something about a law suit.  I knew it was a scam but thought I would look it up anyway...glad I didn't call back!

Yes, they leave these crazy messages for me at my work number such as if I ignore this message, he will wish me good luck as the situation unfolds on me.  They gave me a name of James Thomas, very american name for someone with such a thick accent!  They give me different phone numbers to call them back on which do not match the number 714-006-6000 that the number is coming from.  I am not going to call them back and will report them to both the FTC and Attorney Generals office a.S.A.P.

Hey...... these people calling from INDIA, CHINA and other countries. where hundred of call centers are running for getting money by fraud from USA and UK citizens... ITS ALL SCAM... How it runs..........(for debt collection)It starts when people tries to get loan online, they fill all their personal detail on that sites and problem starts from this point. all your information is sold to collection agencies (call centers) at $4 to $6 / Person, whether you got that loan or not.SO what actually they (Call Centers) do...1. They have all of your information includes: your name, social security number, address, employment detail, 2 references and a detail of amount.( which you didn't get)2. For dialing purpose call center gets USA or UK numbers. they calls through various softwares (like: ICALL). And have various phone numbers.3.They hire college students or some people and prepare them to communicate with you. (training classes for getting a bit of American accent) and gives them fake names (American).4. They makes a write up for leaving message to threaten you. like:- "This message is intended for Mr. john (your name).  john the very second you receive this msg i need you or your retained attorney to call me back. the issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. my name is ..........., and i am calling from financial accountability association, my call back no. is 123456789, i am repeating this for you john 123456789, john don't disregard this msg and call me on my number back as soon as possible. if i don't get any call from you or from your attorney........ wish you good luck, bye"5. If you pick up phones ...they will threaten you by saying... that federal govt or federal legislation  is going to pressing lawsuit against you and your social security number. and try to make you remember that you took a pay day loan and never paid it back... so it is very easy to threaten you by saying that "such company falling lawsuit against you for your unpaid loan".( you don't know for which loan he/she talking about and try to remember your last 2- 3 loans (which you actually got and never paid)).  At this time you stuck in the situation.(according to my perception you never know "how many loan you took in last 1 or 2 year"- sorry-- joking)6. They will tell that you are charged against these allegations:-  1. Theft by deception 2. collateral cheque fraud7. They will tell u that they have sent various mails to inform you but u never replied and that was the only way to communicate you.8.They will ask u to write a Apologizing letter that “your intention was not bad and you never wanted to run away with that money & you want to fix that issue by paying ..... amount.”how to avoid them... 1. By telling that you have an attorney (Both criminal and bankruptcy). give any number by saying "call to my attorney"... they won't call.2. By telling that u know : Its ALL SCAM .......... they will hung up.3. By telling that its not my social security number....... they will never call.4.By asking for the date of loan taken (online)........ they can't help you in this matter (by which u can come to know about scam)Don't be afraid.........They won't sue........If this detail is helpful for you please copy paste this into other pages... don't be selfish.... and save other people from being fool.My English is not so good. I am an Indian........ all Indians are not same... you can send me mail for more detail:- [email protected] YOU REALLY TOOK LOAN AND WANT TO PAY IT BACK THEN PLEASE VERIFY ALL DETAIL BEFORE PAYING ANYONE.........Thanks and help people

I have and am getting these calls only Neil Johnson is saying or whoever calls says if I do not pay they will be sending my case to local police in my state and the police will come to my work or home and arrest me.  I talked to a lawyer and he says this is a scam.

I received a call from this number from a James Frank?? I couldn't understand him his accent was so thick! They keep calling for my fiance. Threatening that they have an affidavit against his ss# and that they are filing a law suit. I don't even know how they got my number since it's always been mine! But lo and behold.... they keep calling. I finally called them back today and I believe this is a cell phone. The person did not even answer it like it was a business phone, just answered "hello". Then I told him to stop calling me and to take me off their list because I am NOT the person they are trying to reach. Funny that when I called their number back, all of a sudden it was a "supervisor" I was speaking to... hhmmm... sounds like a huge scam if you ask me! He said he would "take me off the call list"... yep, I've heard that one before!

I got that same exact call from "Matt Thomas", the guy with the deep Indian accent.  The initial call came from phone number +052497347 but I let it go to voicemail, heard the voicemail and was like WTF.  Then a friend of mine called me shortly after saying he'd received the same call from the same guy saying that they were looking for me in regards to a fradulent loan of $300 I took out in 2008.  So I called these guys back and "Matt Thomas" answered but said his name was "John Smith".  Yeah, and I'm Pocahontas motherf*cker.  Really? John Smith?  Come on!  Anyway, he said that I could settle the matter with ACS for $545 or go to court with the vendor and risk paying over $5000.  I told him let's go to court 'cause I took out no such loan.

Yes John Smith from ACS called me also and sent me papers but the papers didn't have an address or office number Im still leary and I am going to order a credit report.What did you do?

I just called them back, and now his name is "Neil Johnson".  I thought he was gonna say Neil Diamond lol.  Anyway, I told him off.  He kept asking for my phone number to look up in their database so I'm assuming they don't have caller id in their country.  I told him to quit his sh*t and that the U.S. Federal government is after him.

I have been receiving calls from this company for about two years now.  They call and leave messages threatening me on my work phone.  I have been told several times they were taking me to court, but two years later I still haven't received a court order.  I tried returning a call to them once and they transferred me like 5 times and just hung up on me.  They are a scam.  They call off and on, I will receive several calls for a couple weeks and then it will stop for a month or two and then it starts again.

They are harrassing my friend trying to get info about me.  "Matt Thomas" with the legal department of the Affiliated Conservative Services.  I am supposed to call them back before they take legal actions against me.  He said I left her name and number as the primary reference and guarantee?

i got a call from this number they said i had to pay 745.00 from an outstanding loan from 2007 if i didnt pay him the money they would take me to court

Yes, this is a total scam!! Do not give them any info. They will call your home, work, even friends or relatives to threaten you. Just ignore them and feel free to let the FBI know about it. This particular # is from Florida but, they call from all over.

Received many calls from these people. Indian accents and plain old english names. They stopped callling me for a while but have now started up again at work and home. Now the caller's name is "Sean Williams" from ACS. Same story, I'm going to be sued if I do not respond. I have and will continue to ignore them. Do not give them any info they are nothing but a huge SCAM!!!!

I received a msg from a caller who identfied himself as Rick Williams, but the accent is very strong and sounded Pakistanian or East Indian. He said that he is from ACR,  which is a law firm who said my SSN has been comprimised. He said his name was Rick Thomas. The voice sounds like the same one who identified himself as Shawn Williams and Jack Smith who called several months before. This is a SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They get your number from applications you complete when trying to get a loan. I reported them before when they called from different numbers: 052-497-347; 052-797-815; 284-604-2669; 601-429-9005; 919-629-2766; 777-943-530; 810-676-161. These numbers show up on my caller id. If ypu look at some of the numbers, some of them do not have enouigh digits so you can't call back. A person has to apply online but unfortunately Scammers are out there to steal your info and try to get money illegally. Please be  aware. I reported them to the attorney general's office who did a trace and found that the numbers are to a mobile number linked to Canada, Phillistines and the California. Because of this, they can't be caught.

Its a scam do not give them anything

This is a scam.  I got a call from a man saying his name is Shawn Williams and that my name came up as a reference for someone else's.  When I called the number he asked for my telephone number to bring up the case number.  When I asked if his company had a website he said, "Look for the website and talk to me later", then he hung up. I asked his name and he said it was John Smith--although he sounded exactly like the "Shawn Williams" who had left a voice mail a few minutes earlier.  I tried looking for a website and could not find one.  I called the number back and I was hung up on--twice.  Please be careful with this number and the person who is calling. ACS is the firm/company name.

I have received a call from this number and they are scammer's.  They get your information from an application you fill out on line for loans.  When you speak with them they ask you if your name is ____, SS# is ________, checking account # _________, based on the "yes" response you give them they go into your bank accounts and charge money without your authorization because they have your online signature from when you applied for a loan online in the past.   They will scam you about 6-8 months after you tell them who you are on the phone so do not speak with them and do not tell them "yes" on ANY question they ask you no matter what.

Just got a call from this number for an associate, caller was saying he needed to speak to her about her Social Security Number.  Caller very hard to understand, this is the number he gave for her to call back. Sounded like a scam, under the name of a law firm, ACS.

they are harrassing me - caller James Franklin. Anyone know anything
