Complaint Review: ACS Legal On Behalf Of Fast Cash International

I received a message at work from a man stating I needed to have my lawyer call him right away at 585-919-0331 and he stated not to delete his message or all he could do was wish me luck. I deleted the message anyway.

The next day I received another call at work from a funny looking number starting with "110" so I answered the phone. The man stated his name was Spencire from ACS and he was a litigator calling on behalf of Fast Cash International and asked for my lawyer's information. I stated I did not have a lawyer and I did not know what he was talking about. He stated that at 5pm today a lawsuit would be filed against me for check fruad, theft and online money laundering and I would receive it 11am tomorrow morning. I told him I did not receive any money from this company. He went on to verify my name, last 4 digits of my social security number, my e-mail address, the name of my bank and my bank account number and 2 references I used on a loan application a couple of months ago. He stated I owed legal fees totaling $5,454.47 and needed to pay it. He stated the company deposited money into my account and was not able to collect it back. He stated the account was charged off on May 13, 2008 for the amount of $1,236.96

I asked him what was the amount they allegedly deposited into my account and what was Fast Cash International's phone number. He stated he could only tell me when it was charged off and how much I owed. I hung up on him and he called my job back and left another message advising me to contact his Senior Attorney Eric Matthews at 310-362-9215. I called and asked for Eric and he asked me what did I want and what was I going to do to pay back the money. I told him I wanted the phone number to the company and he told me he could not give me the number but could transfer me to the company. He proceeded and when someone answered he told me no to speak and to let him get me to the right department. He asked for Julian Marshall who again asked me what I wanted. I stated his company is saying I owe them money that I never received and he too told me I had an account charged off on May 13, 2008 and owe them money. I asked him how much was given to me and when and he could not give me any information he just stated what I need to pay. I hung up and called my bank and verified no money was ever deposited into my account over the last year from this company or any unknown company.
