I received an email from ACS, Inc. - from an alleged attorney by the name of Edward Parker - telling me that I owe money, and I was going to be sued for $4,526.65 if I did not pay them the full amount, or settle for $500.00. This company that I have never heard of stated that I committed fraud. (HUH?) Following is the information that was sent to me:
LAWSUIT COURT CASE FILE NO: JS - 0308LD15
Court House Address- -United States District Court 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY 10007.
Lawsuit Cost - $4526.65 (Including Attorney Fee/Court Fee/All Taxes)
Last Date to File Lawsuit - March 31st, 2017.
Attorney Name- Edward Parker (Sr. Attorney in New York Courthouse).
Case Type- Fraudulent Case (FC/SC)
Total Amount - $935.76.
Settlement Amount - $575.32.
Signed Agreement - Yes.
Here is the part that is even more sketchy:
If you do not take this matter seriously then we will have no options rather than file case against you for the lawsuit cost of $4526.65 in the courthouse.
* If you will pay $500.00 on Today then we will close this case outside the courthouse with this amount only.
Kindly Co-operate with us so that we can close this case file outside the courthouse ASAP. Once this case file is downloaded, we won't able to help you out.
NOTE: THIS CASE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION UNDER MAJOR CREDIT BUREAUS.
Yours Sincerely,
(Collections & Legal Department)
ACS INCORPORATION
How in the world would a legitimate company settle in one day "outside the courthouse?" I am also reporting this to the BBB!
