I was contacted by email from Ace Cash Services saying I owed for a pay day loan. I asked what company it was for they responded they are a parent company for pay day loans. They then said I would be arrested and my bank accounts seized. Then I was told they knew it was me as my IP address was traced and said they were 14 identifiable traces. I said ok I could pay $398 on 6/30/16 as I was expecting to come into some money.
Right before the 30th they contacted me again, I explained I would not have the funds on the 30th of June but would be able to pay off by 7/30. They then started harrassing me saying I was being uncooperative and they would proceed with filing the arrest warrant and seizing my bank account. But they would give me a chance to pay $200 by Saturday, I was to buy a ONE VANILLA card load $200 on card and send them picture of front and back of card to stop further court action. So stupid me I rushed out and did what they said.
I thought about it and decided to google ACE CASH SERVICES I came across a site screaming INTERNET SCAM the site said the exact thing they said to me about getting arrested and tracing my IP and even the 14 traceable things almost verbatim.
So I ran to store to try to get money out BUT due to this type of card you can't get cash out, so I had to buy stuff $200 dollars worth. Needless to say this threatening has caused me much stress worrying if I was going to be arrested if I am I can lose my job plus I am going through a divorce.
Another site said ACE CASH SERVICES is just a junk debt collector and there is a lawsuit against them, I will certainly look into this.
