My husband received a call at work today from this number.  Fortunately, we both work at the same place and I just happened to be with him when the call was received.  Someone claiming to be Bryan Lincoln, but who had a thick accent, proceeded to tell  us that we were being sued for nonpayment on a $300 pay day loan with Cash Advance America.  I told him I didn't recall either of us taking out a loan with Cash Advance America and furthermore, all of our transactions (bills, loans, and credit cards) are set up as automated payments and all of our payments had cleared just fine to date.  I was becoming su****ious and he switched tactics, telling me that indeed we did have automatated payments set up but that when they went to process the transaction the bank declined the transaction stating wrong account/authorization code.  I proceeded to tell him that I keep our financial records up to date and having just reconciled my checkbook I know that all of our bills and monthly payments have cleared.  Even if our bank had declined the transaction they would have charged a fee.  He then said that if we didn't settle by 3 p.m. his company would file suit and that they would treat it as a fraud case.  He said he'd email the settlement do***entation and my husband would have to sign and fax it back to their company before 3 p.m.Immediately after ****ing up, I called our bank who urged us to cancel our debit cards (because we had given it to this guy) and that we should contact local authorities.  Our bank researched our account and did not find any loan of $300 that had been deposited nor did they find any declined payments! I proceeded to call the county clerk of court to find out if indeed this bogus company had filed anything a***nst us.  The county clerkof court did not find anything a***nst us and suggested we call the State Attorney General's office.  The Attorney General's office sent me to the Office of Financial Regulations.  I was on hold for 30 minutes but my patience was well worth it.  I explained the situation and the gentleman with the Office of Regulations immediately informed me that this was a scam.  He indicated that the guys carrying out this scam have thick accents and will even threaten to have us arrested.  But it was a scam nonetheless.  We are taking precautions and have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.  We are also considering putting a fraud alert on our credit report as well as on our driver's licenses.  I don't know how much information this fraudulant group has on us.We did not call ACS Cash Advance back to confront them, but we did respond to their email with the settlement do***ent.  We told him that we had contacted the State Attorney General's office about his company and that we had discovered his company was a scam.  We informed him that we had never taken any loan out with his company and did not owe them a dime.  We also informed him that we had filed as victims of iden***y theft and fraud and cancelled our debit/credit cards at the advice of our bank for our own protection.  In addition, we informed him that my husband's brother is a federal investigator specializing in cyber fraud and scam (which is 100% TRUE!!!)  Therefore, his company is not to make any further contact with us, our family, friends, employer, or former employer - that they are to cease and desist using our information in any way and that we are persuing legal action a***nst them.  We sent the email just before the 3 p.m. deadline.  We've not received a response nor any further phone calls today.  Watch out for these guys.  I've done a lot of research todayon ACS Cash Advance.  What I've found out is they steal data through online phishing scams.  Beware of entering ANY information online, even if a site looks legit.  We've always been careful about ordering things online or passing financial information only through reputable sources.  However, we missed the boat somewhere and these guys got our information.  I found out this particular scammer can even can get this data off of electronic devices on standalone atm ma****es.  Using an atm at your local bank or credit union is safest because they keep watch over that sort of thing.These are the names****ociated with this company:  Bryan Lincoln (Brian Lincoln) or some guy named John.The email address they gave was:[email protected] Number:  646 224 9599

This guy by the name of "Mark White" which is very hard to understand and you can tell he is completely from another country keeps calling me saying there is a lawsuit a***nst my SS# and name and I better call him right back or else.  This same man called about 4 months ago and used the name John Smith and said the same thing.  I have filed a complaint with the FCC on these phone numbers.  They are completely and totally not a true company - so****ing about ACS corporation.  They also use the number 646-289-8380 and 215-693-4153.  Beware!

I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THIS GUY SAYING HE HAD A AFFADAVIT ON ME..AND NEEDED ME TO CALL BACK AND NEEDED MY SOCIAL...WHEN I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T THINK HE WAS LEGIT..HE SAID F YOU AND ***G UP ON ME.

My friend received a phone voicemail from this number this week stating that I was in legal trouble that that I would spend 6 months in jail if I did not contact them.  The guy said his name was David Villa.  His voice and message was barely recognizable.  He brought up that there was a legal matter a***nst me and my ss# and blah blah blah.  When her boyfriend tried to call back for me (from work) he said that it was hard to get in touch with someone and that all they wanted was money.  If you get a message from these people, do not call them back.  I mean, really?  If there ever was a legal problem with from a company, there is a process for correspondence.  This is BS.
