Three days ago I get a call from this number 052-480-189. The phone number looked a little strange but I answered it anyway. When I answered it, there was this guy on the phone who I could barley understand. He was telling me there is a lawsuit filled against me for a payday loan I took out 3 YEARS AGO. I found this to be strange since I do not remember taking out a payday loan then. The weird part is I contacted my bank and their records only go back 2 years, so I have no record of a deposit made by these folks. Another strange factor is when i asked for their company information they said they couldn't give it to me, that all the documents were in their legal department. I said i would pay them to get them off my back. They said I owed them $310.00 which is an odd amount, payday loans at $300.00 usually are $390.00 or there about to pay back. I asked them to fax me a document proving I owe this debt and they said they would not. They said once I paid it, I would receive a payment in full letter.

They emailed me a "form" which it was done on a Word document with no company information, no mailing address for them, no phone number nothing. All it said was:

Payment Authorization Form
Date:

I ____ ________________________ authorize ACS, to deduct $_________ from my Card.

Card Details
Name on Card: __ ____________________
Card Number: __________________________
Expiry Date: _________ CV2: ________
Billing Address: _________________________________________

Signature

This copied from my email. EXACTLY!!! As you can see it had the typed in initials of ACS. When I called them to find out what ACS stood for she (the lady on the phone named Ivy) said she didn't know. When I called the "company" of www.cashadvance.com and asked them what loan I had out they said my documents were with the legal department and could not supply me with the information. The website sates "This website does not constitute an offer or solicitation to lend. CashAdvance.com is not a lender and does not make loans or credit decisions.

However, credit checks or consumer reports through alternative providers such as Teletrack or DP Bureau, which typically will not affect your credit score, may be obtained by some service providers or lenders, in certain circumstances. "

So they don't even loan money. When I asked them what address they had when I supposedly taken out this loan (since I moved 3 times since 2006) they told me they had: (my current address) well, I've only lived at this current address for 5 months.

I think these people are scamming people. I asked them in a return email: " for legal purposes I need to know the name, address and phone number of the company i will be making a payment to. Again they would not and could not provide me with the information.

This is the letter I received today confirming the ACS jerks are a fraud. The letter I received is from Cash Central.

The CFSA (Community Financial Services Association of America) reported there has been a debt collection call scam that may be affecting consumers nationwide (click here to see the CFSA's official notice). As a valued customer, we wanted to keep you up-to-date in the event you receive a similar call.

Scammers, sometimes posing as lawyers, are contacting consumers and notifying them of a defaulted loan they claim must be immediately repaid through providing a credit card, bank account or wire transfer. The caller often threatens if the debt is not immediately repaid, arrest, extradition to other states and court action will follow.

If you receive such a call, we recommend the following:

-- Verify the call by asking the "debt collector" to verfiy the amount owed, the due date and the original lender name.

-- Do not disclose your bank account information, credit card information or any other sensitive items over the phone until you've been able to confirm if the call is legitimate or by calling the creditor's number directly.

-- If you believe you have any debt, call the business with which you originally loaned and verify the claims with them.

Thank you for choosing Cash Central. If we can be of further assistance or if you have questions, please visit our website at www.cashcentral.com or call us at 1-800-460-4305.

We need to file a class action lawsuit against these people they are taking innocent people's money.
