ACS Collection Scam
I was recently contacted by a company called ACS by a gentlemen named Shane Watson (not his real name heavy accent) He advised I had a debt with a payday loan company and need to pay him 600 dollars or this case is being downloaded against me. He said I can go to jail for check fraud if I loose. After hearing this like most I set up a payment arrangment with him which he emailed to me to have faxed back to him with my signature. Well to start off for a big collection company your email exchange is not going to be @gmail.com. PLease. I opened the form and it said payment is going to be authorized to a company called PCS. This didn't sit well with me. I went to the bank and had them close my card and issue a new one. THe day the payment was to be due I recieve 4 voice mails in a row at work asking to call back so he (Shane Watson at American Direct Sweepstakes) can verify my three digit code or my exp date. I called him back and advised the bank was investigating and will not release funds until they know who this PCS is. I asked for the phone number and address. I was told He cannot give me the address but can give me the phone number. Well this was a differnt area code but still a NY number which according to my bank this credit He also told me his corporate office is in Washington and ACS is just the NY department. So I called the Number right away and asked for the name of the company I was calling and they just kept asking who they were talking to. THen he asked if he was speaking to my name which he referenced. I asked how he knew this since I was calling from a blocked number. After realizing his mistake he kept saying I can't hear you then I said I am contacting the attoney General and this is a scam and hung up. Hoping he is not going to call anymore. PLease don't fall for this.
