ACS--Frank Jackson /Kevin Peterson ACS PRESS CHANGES FOR FRAUD Internet NATIONWIDE
Recieved several voice mail messages to call 102-855-1013. I phoned and was aske my phone number, upon receiving my phone number I was told that I had chages pending for fraud, false bank information, and failure to pay off a debt to a internet company called Fast Cash. They wanted to speak to my attorney.
Spoke with 2 different people a Frank Jackson, and a Kevin Peterson. They both told me to write a letter of apology and fax it to the following number 813-536-1611 and then I was told to fax to this number 213-596-0479. After that they wanted my debit card number and other abank information I did not give it to them.
They have continued to contact me at work and at home leaving nasty threatening messages, when at work I will not answer the phone when their number comes up on the caller ID. This is really getting to be very upsetting.

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
