ACS Department of Investigations James Johnson Harrassed me so bad at work, that I was forced to quit New York, Internet
I am receiving phone calls at my place of work. When my boss answers the phone, a James Johnson identifies himself from the Department of Criminal Investigations. He asks for me and then when my boss says I can't take personal phone calls, he goes on to tell my boss that I am going to prison for fraud and other criminal actions. Once I answered the phone and pretended like I was the office manager. He said that I needed to take a message for me and that I am being investigated for criminal charges. I am devastated. I am quiting my job before I get fired because my boss is beginning to believe them as they call 10 times a day. They will not stop even though they are told I can't take personal phone calls. I will never tell anyone where I work if I ever get a job in this economy. This has ruined my life.

My husband was contract by ACS (man with a heavy accent) I could not understand him. Told him about the same thing you are going thought. But unfortunely we were scam out of 217.00 before I figured out it was a scam. When they call me again and they told me if I didn't pay they were going to send my husband to jail. After number of times he didn't owe them money. They told me he will be going to jail. I told them go ahead I will be waiting for them. They have not call back scent. That was 2 weeks ago. This is a scam talk to your boss to let him know about it. Show him theses reports. Next time keep them on the phone tell them the police is tracing the phone call and its being recorded. You might also check your credit reports ect. Now i'm going though make reports credit reports,bank fraud,and then a police report. Because they had personal information social secuirty # birth day ect. Beside that his atm card was missing. Best of luck to you.

Show your boss several of these reports so he/she understands that the whole thing is a scam and has nothing to do with you personally. Don't let these scammers force you into doing something you will regret - and it won't stop them from calling anyway. You have to be very assertive with them - tell them where to go and hang up the phone.
You can report the scammer to the police, but it is doubtful they can do anything other than take the information down in a report. The best thing to do is tell the scammer that you know what they are doing. Look at these reports - some people have excellent ideas on what to say to get rid of them.

These a******s are calling from Pakistan using fake American sounding names, their scam is To scare you into paying a Loan that doesn't exist.
Usually by saying they're Officer(Fake American Name)
Obvious clue, the heavy accent, hard to understand, or cannot understand this (American Name) Officer?
Their Theft is to scare you into Paying a "Debt" that doesn't exist by usong threats like "Have the police at your door" or "Warrant has been signed" or "You're in big trouble", "You've committed BANK FRAUD" or similar lies.
They usually say they're from "The Department of LAW and Investigation" or similar scary FAKE NAMES (recently they used United Nations Law Division, and ACS Law division, and even more recently 1st IRS Legal Dept)
You're NOT in trouble, they're just good Liars, Pay them NOTHING, they're only Slimy thieves.
Recently they've been changing names at the speed of light, and they use a telephone relay so they look like they're calling in America, they're NOT.
This is another name, but the same scammers.
OR IF YOU WANT PROOF THEY'RE THIEVES Tell them to send you verification there's any "Debt" at all, when they start screaming at you, that's proof positive that they're just thieves.
When/if they call again tell them they're just thieves and hang up, they can't arrest you, It's just a scam.
