917-284-9294

This company has been trying to get me to pay a 'settlement' of $505.00 for a Payday Loan that I supposedly took in March of 2010.  (I never applied for a payday loan in March of 2010.)  They have my old bank name (thankfully I closed that account back in November/December) but they have my SSN, work phone number and cell phone number.  After looking more into this company yesterday, I told them that I did the research and that I know it's a scam.  I said that I have reported you and the man with a very heavy Indian Accent said, 'Well, good luck to you.  Someone will be serving you legal documents at either your work place or your home.'  I said, good, I'll wait.  Before that, he gave me the phone number to verify the supposed debt which was apparently from a place called Cash Advance USA.  He said the number there is 206-259-7930 and to contact Eric Foster.  (Amazing that it's a number from Seattle, WA but they answer at 8am EST). I blocked my number and called it on Mute and the person just said, 'Can I help you'?  Didn't say the name of the company or anything.  I called back again (same way, blocked and muted) and they said Advance Cash USA (the name is different)  This Victor from ACS called me back a little later saying that Eric said he hadn't heard from me and I told him that I wasn't buying into it and it's because this guy is supposedly on the west coast.  He said, we'll he's there now and expecting your call.  Of course he is because I think they work together and have cell phone numbers.  When I told him that I couldn't find anything on that company online, he said that it could be under Cash Advance America.  I said, that's funny because that one doesn't come up either and it's a little odd that you now changed the name of the company.  He said, well, USA and America are the same thing.  I said, not really.  He then said that it could be under One Quick Cash.  Surprise, nothing under that name either.  So, I have filed a complaint with the FTC and If I get another phone call from them, I will report it to the FBI since I don't know what else to do.  They also call under different phone numbers but you can't call back on these numbers since they are disconnected?  The numbers they call from are as follows: +91 72849294 (which I believe the + means it's from overseas) 916-395-0000, UNKNOWN, 662-516-1267 (Kosciusko, MS), 615-724-7999.  I received a call from a Victor one day from the 662-724-7999 number which was on Thursday 08/26 and then another call from a man named Bosco Bell on Monday 08/30 from the 615-724-7999 phone number.  He left me a voicemail wanting to make me aware of a very serious and urgent matter he received in his legal office.  (Again, very thick Indian Accent).  Apparently the loan company is trying to go after me for Launderment of Loan Installments?? I needed to call him back at the 917-284-9294 phone number so he could help me.  Yeah right.  I called and Victor answered, not Bosco.  I believe this is a scam and I refuse to give them any money.  I will wait for legal papers to arrive.

I told him that I reported him to the FTC and the FBI.  And that's when he said good luck and someone will be serving me legal documents.  Sure....go ahead...I have reported this twice to the FTC.

I had the same thing happen to me this morning. I didn't catch the guy's name because of the heavy Indian accent, but I did catch that he said he was from a company called ACS. My husband called the number back and tried to ask them what the call was about and the man said that I had taken a payday loan out and was committing identity theft. He said that there were 3 counts of ID theft and that I was in big trouble. After several call attempts (they kept hanging up on my husband), we finally got through. My husband and I have filed for bankruptcy so we can't take out any loans right now. The man on the phone, who claimed to be the manager, told my husband that there was nothing he could do about it. My husband said that he would press charges against them if they called back because we searched their number and the comments on the number told us to call the FBI and the Secret Service. We did, and they are investigating now.  
The "manager" told us that we could try to do whatever we wanted but that there was nothing "our country's FBI or Secret Service could do about it be cause I am protected." He also said that he would sue ME for $150,000 and have me put in prison. He then said that if my husband tried to get involved that he would sue my husband and have him put in prison.
To make a very long, frustrating story short, CALL THE NEW YORK SECRET SERVICE AT 1 (718) 840-1000. They are under the Credit Card Fraud Division and because they are in the same state as the supposed "ACS" company, they are the only one's who can help you sort this out.

I keep getting these calls at work...I called them back and asked for email address and company and was told Advancecash usa...Wont give any info when I told them I was going to report them to the DA office they hung up on me...

I actually caught them in a lie.  I called the 917-284-9294 number (of course I blocked my number) and when they answered (how can I help you?) I said 'oh, I'm sorry, I was looking for Advanced Cash?'  He said, this is!!  I said really, this is Advanced Cash???  He said yes.  I then went on to say 'Well, you have quite the scam going on.'  What do you mean maam?  I said, I was orginally told to call this number for Affidavit Consolidation Services and you gave me a different number for Advanced Cash when really this is the same compnay and you're scamming people.  He said 'maam, you are dillusional, this is Affidavit Consolidation Services'.  I said, really?  That's funny b/c you just confirmed twice that you were advanced cash.  He called me dilluisional again.  Asked for my name and number which I refused to give.  He then said, who are you?  I want to know who I am talking to so we can get to know each other better.  I said, I don't want to know you.  You're a scumbag who tried to scam people out of money.  I said how much money have you scammed from people?  He said, I don't know what you're talking about.  I don't scam people and I never have, I make a lot of money.  I said of course you do because you scam people out of it.  He then said, I want to meet you.  Where are you?  I want to meet you.  I said, no, I don't think so, what will that solve?  He said, so we can get to know each other better.  I said, I already told you that I think you're a scumbag and I don't want to know you.  Obviously this isn't a legit collection agency, who would say that?  I said, where are you?  India?  He said, no maam, once again you're being dillusional.  I have never been to India.  I said, yeah right.  He said I am in New York City.  Come see me.  He kept asking me to go there to meet him.  I said, no way, I don't want to meet you.  Stop calling people and scamming them.  Your company has been reported.  He said are you an agent?  I said no.  He said well it wouldn't have mattered anyway, I have nothing to hide.  I said, sure you don't.  He kept asking who I was, etc.  I said, also, I never took a payday loan from the company you mentioned.  And he said I took it in March of 2010.  I know that I didnt.  He said, well, give me your name and number and I'll remove your information from my system.  I said, sure you will.  He said, you have my word.  I said that doesn't mean anything to me.  You're a scumbag.  Stop calling people and scamming them. You're being investigated and I wish YOU good luck!  BYE!  This is a total scam.  They were trying to tell me I was being charged with everything you mentioned as well.  They gave me a different number to contact the supposed original lender, but it's the same place.  I mean, the number they give you is a Seattle, WA phone number and they answer at 8am EST.  REALLY?  They're at work at 5am?  But I caught this guy!  They try calling 2 times a day now from an UNKNOWN number.  I know it's them.  But I don't answer and they haven't left me any voicemails.  So, you did contact the FBI?  This guy was trying to get me to go meet him.  Who does that???

These jerks call me all the time it comes up as 0000 and have that thick indian accent and he tells me he is officer whoever with an american name of course and I'm in big trouble with the federal govt and charges will be pressed but call him back to hear about the charges.. Haha I just yell and scream at them and eventually they curse you out and just hang up.. Do they get paid to do this all day long? Ahaha I wish I knew.. Its ridiculous and extremely annoying but they don't stop for whatever reason.. Just let it go to vm and deleteeeeee

My father and a friend of ours got a call from this number today. The caller stated my husband and I owed a debt we needed to settle. The caller said he was from usa cash network. He said he would throw my husband in jail if I didn't pay the $584 we owed. I hung up and contacted usa cash network who said we had no loan through them and they are filling a claim against this person for fraud.

This is from someone who replied to one of my messages on another post.

The local FBI complaints agent is a friend so I have actually spoken with him about this. Unfortunately short of changing all your phone numbers, there is absolutely nothing you can do. The people calling you are not actually located in the United States, so not all US laws and regulations can be applied to them. My cousin had this happen to her, and the poor thing called me in tears. Here is what you need to do:
1. Contact your local FBI office and report the fraud scam, as it is considered internet fraud they will have jurisdiction. Make sure you take detailed notes about what is happening to you so that you can give them what you need.
2. Contact at least one of the 3 credit reporting agencies- you receive one free report from each agency per year. Get one now, and make sure you have them put a fraud alert on your file. Dont worry about contacting the other 2 agencies, they will do this for you.
3. Contact the Social Security Administration to report SS fraud. This doesnt do much, but should you actually get your identity stolen it will help that you had reported it.
4. Contact your bank/credit card company- Now I know this one is annoying, especially since a lot of people have bill pay and automatic payments set up, but you need to be issued all new cards, and close your bank account and open a new one. (Even if they did not ask you to verify your account information they probably have it so you need to do this)
5. Contact an attorney, most offer free consultations. Once you have spoken with one, keep their information handy. Should these scammers call you back, let them get their speil out, then politely tell them that you would like them to relay all further correspondence to your attorney of record and give them the information. They will not actually contact this person, so even if they arent your attorney you can give it to them.
6. Contact anyone you may have listed on an application as a reference. Let them know what is going on and make sure you let them know exactly what information you have given out. This will usually just include name and phone number. I know this can be embarassing, but if you used them as a reference then hopefully they are a good friend and will want to help.
7. If you have actually applied for something online, contact that company directly to let them know and ask for them to send you account statements for your records. Even if you already have them, it doesnt hurt to get duplicates.

The FTC and other consumer agencies cannot do much for you. The reason these people keep changing their name and phone numbers is because the old ones keep getting shut down. Every little bit of information you can provide will help shut these people down permenantly, so even if you think you cant offer any more information call in to report it. That way if there is a lawsuit against them finally, your information will be there and you can get in on it. Good luck. :)

jst ready to resolve this matter according to the arrangement made by us we will give some documentation u have to jst sign it and return it back call on 9172849294...

they called my dad so i called them back and asked them who they were and they said they were Laws Enforcement Agency i said kool i work for the police department they hung up!

I have the same problem. I have a guy from ACS calling saying he he a police officer and they are coming to arrest me if I do not pay oof my pay day loan. I know it was only 300.00 and they are saying 625.00. So I am taking legal action against them. In on day they called me 42 times, and now starting to call different extension at my job. There got to be something done about them. You are right, they are using USA numbers, but calling from India, sometimes it comes up like the number is from overseas. Some have to give...

They called my job a total of 75 times since 9/1. They have started just randomly calling numbers. When they called back, the security dept at my company asked for their information explained to them it was harassment they hung up. They called back again, I connected them to my security dept, she was heated and told them they are being reported. They won't give any information as to who they are, they told my lawyer.. give us her bank information so we may settle. My lawyer said "like hell!!". They won't give any information, no call number, no company information anything. Don't buy into these guys!! Complete scam ,,,total scam!!

They called me over 50 times tonight.  I changed my phone number.  When I told him he was harassing me he told me my tone was abusing him.  I told him to send me the info by US mail.  He would hang up and dial me back again.  Crazy.

I had exact same thing happen to me, I recieve calls 4-6x a week, I just dont answer anymore, I am on the do not call list, but doesnt seem to be very effective.  i have reported the number

I have been reciving calls from this number for a couple of weeks now stating that i owe money for a cash advance that i had taken out online well i havent taken any cash advances online ever a eddie smith said that i owed $400+ dollars and if it went to court it would be over $4000 dollars everyone on this line had a heavy pakistani accent and are rude low lifes who like to use scare tatics and elaborate scam designs to scare hard working americans out of our hard earned cash if you ever recicve a call like this just hang up and try to contact the mother company they are apperantly representing. and contact send the number to the FBI fraud taskforces......really scammers......

Per call to me stating before something bad happen to me call ACS  IN NEW YORK AT 917-284-9294 CONTACT PERSON DONALD WADE. Last time they stated my Name and ss number in under Criminal investigation.

My secretary received a call from this number from a Stephen Lee with ACS.  Mr Lee also had a very heavy Indian/Pakistani accent.  Demanded to talk to me about owing his client a debt!  I get  these calls on a regular basis (2 to 3 per week) and this has been going on since August, 2010.  They have all my personal information even where I bank!  I have had to change my home and cell numbers as well as open a new account with my financial institution which is now flagged for any fraud activity.  I have also filed a police report with my local police department and are now actively investigating.  Also I have filed claims with AGs in California and New York and New Jersey.

they threaten to lock me up!

I got a message today at work and on my cell saying that I had gotten a loan and did not pay it back, which was untrue. The scary thing is that he knew my name and social security number. What if they try to steal my identity. The # left on my voicemail was 917-284-9294. The # that came across my caller id was 858-008-0355

calling and wanting money and making threats.
