APE Processing The Collection agency convinced me that I owed money for a Norcross Georgia

I received several calls stating that I owed $1,400 to a lender, Manhattan Processing, for a long where I received cash. They had all of my personal information, including my social security number and threaten to have my pay garnished if I did not setttle with them right away.  I was so concerned that my identity was stolen, that I agreed to pay $800.00 to settle this.  A promised was sent to me via email that this would be labeled as fraud on my 'record' (whatever records they have on me.)

I decided to check the internet for this company and found out the same things had happen to others.  They call you and state that you own money for a loan that you took.  Identity thief is so scary that company like this can scare you into thinking they are helping you when they really are scamming you.  I will be reporting this to my credit card companies as well as the credit report companies.  Here is the information I received from them.  302-444-0302 - A.P.E Processing, Norcross, GA 30091 - Fax # 888-215-0254 - No telephone number (should have been a giveaway for me). RMS Services is the name of the company....so I was told. The account Reps. name on the report is Todd Johnson.  706-948-1084.  Other information - Retrieval Mediation Services - PO Box 620249 Doraville, GA 30362......I'm sure all legitamate information for a company in the business of committing fraud!
