ACS--Frank Jackson /Kevin Peterson ACS PRESS CHANGES FOR FRAUD Internet NATIONWIDE

I took mine a lot further though. The same person calls me quite a bit the last two days, giving me both Kevin Peterson and another name, James. I searched the phone number on google and it comes up with a bunch of job listings looking some kind of loan specialist and says call Justin at the number.

I checked my credit report, and it shows no signs of any loan default, which supposedly took place in May of 2008. My criminal background was also checked less than a month ago when applying for a specialized occupational license through the state, so I know that's clean, too.

The first thing I did was go to the police station to report it to them just in case they were calling other people in my area. Secondly, I was told by "Kevin/James" that I had a court date today at 11 a.m. so the next thing I did was contact my lawyer and relay all the information to them.

After that, I searched the Los Angeles County Superior Court website for the "case number" that was provided to me by "Kevin/James", and that turned up no such case. So I called back, inquired why, and was hung up on. So I called again...for a total of 17 times before he quit hanging up on me.

My next step was to contact California Check Cashing, LLC, who I found out bought out a large portion of Fast Cash, Inc/Fastcash.com and questioned them about it, and they assured me it was not coming from their company, and that most likely my personal information had been sold to a third party, who probably sold it another 6 times and it eventually landed in the hands of a scammer who is trying to extort me and thousands of others.

Finally, my next step is to contact both the BBB and the FBI. I will be contacting "Kevin/James" periodically from now on, since now it has become personal. His most memorable moment in this whole thing has been when he said to me, and I quote, "I will make your life hell."

Good luck everyone, and DON'T under any circumstances pay them any money. It's a scam. More to come
