Cash Advance USA
Reviews and Complaints

*not guess im not either

that sounds like fraud from the get go..you must no be the brightest crayon in the box.

I'm getting these same calls do i ignore it or should i worry

I need to know what do you do to stop this matter.im having this same problem right now, please tell me what to do please thank you.

Why won't they allow me to pay by a regular payment method. Apparently I took out an advance in 2009 or so.
I can't get a contact address or phone number and can only pay by PayPal cash card or by money gram now
The phone number I finally got is for an Attorney
Officer Mark Thomas is the person who emails me. Last night I told them I was going to contact him by phone for another type of accepted payment method.
I am so frustrated but after reading these comments, I am going to call them anyway.
They only contact me by email.

I received a call yesterday from a middle eastern sounding dude named John Milller. He told me i owed 635 dollars to cash advance usa. he had my personal information ss# and name, but numermous things gave him away that it was a scam, first he said i applied in december2009i didwhich is how he got my personal info. then they put it in my account in may 2010. but they account i had in may was with regions bank. in december i was with a whole different bank. so how they get my new bank info. then i check my statements no deposits were made. i managed to get the account they supposely put it in it was different from mine. and i didn't even know i was actually approved for the loan. then next he says they are taking a subpena out on me, with no pior paperwork stating there was a promblem. that would be issued to me by monday to appear in court in california when i live in georgia and three days to do it. he didn't provide info other then stated above. then i found this site by the people for the people, had other complaints on the same thing, stating bottom line that cash advance usa dose cash loans face to face, notever on the phone, email, fax or internet. and they are not located in georgia. u tell me fact or scam.

My Friend has been recieving phone call from middle eastern speaking collection agency. They have told her that she had an outstanding balance with the company Cash Advance USA and that she needed to pay the $700 loan now over the phone or go a leagal route. He had all her personal information including her socail security # and everything. They have threatend her and her family and told her to go ahead and call the cops. I just want everyone to know that this is a scam and don't buy into it.

I recently received a call from a woman telling me I owed 546.99 for a loan that I received and never paid back. She said that if I did not pay it I would have to go to court and that the police would come to my job. She then transferred me to someone named Rachel Williams who proceeded to tell me the same thing and made me agree to payment arrangements. I am a single mother and was scared to death that I was going to go to jail. I made one payment so far of 149.99 and am scheduled for two more payments. After reading some of these posts, I am going to stop payment on the other two as I believe I have been scammed. I have never even gotten a loan from this cash advance usa place. I did do one but it was from another company. Scary how they had all of my information and actually made me think this was legit.

i have had Cash Advance Usa call me for 2 weeks saying that i took a loan out through them and if i did not pay now i would need to get a lawyer because they were going to take me to court. when i had asked him what company because I never took the loan out he started to yell at me and say "fine i will stop calling you and you will be taken to court and my wages garnished, go bye and have a good day".
they also have started to call my work. these people now alot of info on me and i hope no one falls for it.

My brother in law received a phone call today from someone claiming to be from Cash Advance USA, they said that he had taken out a loan with them over a year ago and they have not received payments. They said they needed the total amount paid that same day or else they would send an officer to his job to arrest him on Thursday. The person's name was Jack Martin and he called from [protected]. The social security number was incorrect and he would not give him any info regarding the loan or when the loan was taken. He asked Jack to send him some info in the mail regarding the loan to verify it was his and he refused. He said he could only take payment by a prepaid visa card and would not give an address to send a money order. He said that he would only send that info to his attorney. This had my sister freaked out because we can't afford for him to be put in jail, we are seeking advice from lawyers about how to handle this situation. I honestly believe this is a scam but we will find out on thursday for sure.

you go girl- they called me last month and again today. I have instructed them that the local sheriff, state police and city police have had reports filed, also am finding out the local FBI fraud devision and filing a claim. These knucklehead scam jackwagons actually answer the phone when called. People FIGHT BACK. They have no right to do this to people. I changed my bank account- closed old one they had number for- and opened a new one, also secured life lock to keep them off my Social security number and any other info they may have. I am not taking this lying down. Neither should anyone else.

Today's date is 4/7/2011 I have been recieving calls from [protected], not only did they claim to be an officer but they also sent me a email that was legal notice which is not valid. They failed to provide me with a date and correct amount of which the loan was given. I contacted DOJ and i will be speaking with my local PD in regards to this matter IT IS A SCAM, no one can send you a legal notice by email. They were even stupid enough to put united nations and the the United states... If anyone says they have a legal matter they need to talk to you about advice them to contact you with a certified letter in the mail ... which will provide you with the dates and information. Luckly I have a copy of all my credit reports because I am trying to fix my credit as of right now and there is nothing in the negative for pay day loans. Make sure you keep records of your pay day loans, don't answer to pop ups, i learned that the hard way, and pay day loans you usually have to use your social security number so it will be on your record if your in the negative. GOOD LUCK

These calls are coming from India. Dont fall for their lies. The next time Alli Bobba calls, tell him you want proof such as a certified copy of alleged debt, and it is to be sent USPS. Some folks will pay these liars just to be left alone. With the internet how it is today, it is very easy to be a victim of id theft.

Next time you hear from them, let them know from them moment you identify yourself that you are recording the phone call, also let them know any other communications & all phone numbers from this point on will also be recorded because you feel threatened and that you feel you are being scammed and until they can provide you with legal documents proving who they are and what they are trying to collect you will not send them any money per the FBI . (this is what I was told to do by the FBI) This deters alot of these scammers from calling over and over. Get a cheap recording device and use it! Call your local police and file a police report as well as the 3 major credit bureaus and the social security department cause they have your numbers. The FBI website also has an email link on their site to identity theif crimes. You can email them as well. This is a classic scam where you have sent your information online to someone and these people have it.WHATEVER YOU DO, DONT SEND THEM A PENNY!

I am just like you except this guy's name was Erick Thomas and he said the same thing to me as well. I fill out an online application and like you also changed my mind and no longer responded. Now I am getting calls of threat of taking me to jail. I have tried to look up the number I know it is out of TX but there is no record I am thinking that it might be a cell phone number.

I've been told the same thing as everyone else, but my BS meter went off IMMEDIATELY. The only reason they have anyone's information is because of third-party sharing. I listened to the Middle-Eastern man with the English name for about 3 minutes to see what other information he was trying to get me to disclose before shutting him down. This is DEFINITELY a scam! There's no FEDERAL lawsuit, and no CRIMINAL charges! If money is an issue, that would be a CIVIL case! Don't believe a word of it...

I got a call today from a guy with a really strong indian accent saying that I have a payday loan with Cash Adavanced USA and owe them 356.00 and they tried to take it out of my acct but it came back as NSF. I wanted to get more info and he said I needed to pay it but he could not except a credit card only a money gram or western union. I said I would pay once I had a bill and he said he would not send one. He told me an officer would be at my job tomorrow to serve me papers for court. He even knew the name of my employer. Then he hung up on me. I called back and asked to speak to someone else and he hung up. I called back asking for more info but he kept saying he would not discuss and kept hanging up. So glad that I googled the name and saw it is a scam

At the end of September I received a message on my work voicemail stating that I needed to call a number (couldn't understand the call back number given)because I was going to have legal action taken against me because I failed to payback a loan I had gotten. Since I couldn't understand the number I didn't call back. Well on October 19th at 7:30am I got a call from a man with an East Indian accent tell me that he was from Cash Advance USA and that I got a payloan that I didn't payback. I asked when and he said October 2010. This man had my bank info, date of birth, last 4 of my SS no and full name. I asked for a number to call him back because I was at work. He gave me a number but I still couldn't understand him so he told me that I was too stupid to comphend and write down a phone number. I hung up on him. He called me back and I told him that since he knew all the information he needed that proceed with the legal action. He called me 30+ times within the next 4 hours. I finally stooped to his level and cussed him out and told him my employer did not allow personal phone calls and not to call me back. He called back but I didn't let him talk...I talked! I told him this was harrassment and told him to call my attorney, Mr.XXXX and told him to look his number up since I was too stupid to "comprehend number". I called my attorney friend and told him what happened and he said to document everything and that if I cam get an address from them he would file a police report for me because of the threats they made. This a scam and identity theft. They have not called back since.

a man and woman with strange accents keep calling my work, my cell, and my mom and her work saying that we owe money to a cash advance place that we never got a loan from. they are being verbally abusive, and when i explained to hime that i never got a loan from this company they get angry and yell at me and hang up. they are also saying that it is a legal issue and it is going to court on monday(every monday for the past 3 weeks). this is ridiculious, something needs to be done

This company is a BIG SCAM Company I had the same done to me today but for a much larger amount.

these people are rediculous they harrased me my fiance and brother in law. all three of us have applied for pay day loans in the past but only my fiance had actually received one. they began takin money out of his account every two weeks before we could have it stopped and they continually call my brother in law atleast 20 times a day and his work also. we all live together so the phones never stop ringing from these jerks. fotunatley for my brother in law he is never home and i end up answering the phone. today i decided to get ignorant back told them to stop wasting time and they could send the supena whenever they wanted but they could not speak to any one. they wanted our lawyers name i told them i didnt need one. he said fine! and hung up but has continually called back and when i answer he whispers " where is he?" kinda creepy i dont understand why they dont think that he were not gettin anywhere with these people and just leave us alone

04/21/2011—The IC3 receives a high volume of complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. In these scams, a caller claims that the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check cashing services.
One of the most insidious aspects of this scam is that the callers have accurate information about the victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. The method by which the fraudsters obtained the personal information is unclear, but victims often relay that they had completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls began.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide to the victims any details of the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers threaten victims with legal actions, arrests, and in some cases physical violence if they refuse to pay. In many cases, the callers even resort to harassment of the victim’s relatives, friends, and employers.
Some fraudsters instruct victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain dollar amount, on a specific date, via prepaid visa card. The statement further declares that the victim would never dispute the debt.
These telephone calls are an attempt to obtain payment by instilling fear in the victims. Do not follow the instructions of the caller.
If you receive telephone calls such as these, you should:

Contact your banking institutions;
Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file;
Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger;
File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.

Thanks, I read that earlier and I have done all of that. I know I am safe in terms of my personal information but it makes me sick to my stomach that no one can do anything to make these people stop.

The calls started well over a year ago. They were gradual at first then became a daily nuisance to skyrocketing to pure harassment. They called my work, the caller ID showed "0000". My boss answered and informed him that I cannot receive personal calls at work. They got very nasty with her and then proceeded to call again-and again and again. For 20 straight minutes they had all 3 lines ringing at one time. If you answered, they hung up. Sometimes they screamed at you. They are nasty, inconsiderate people. Eventually the calls stopped. Today, they resumed. I hung up on him and he called back several times. When I answered he demanded to know why I hung up on him. He then quoted me my email address, my name and my previous address. Hopefully that is the only information he knows. They are untraceable. They call from different numbers every time. Numbers that don’t go anywhere when you call back.

It is discouraging but I feel as though there is nothing that I can do other than change my cell phone number. I can't stand the thought of running from these people but I also cannot stand the harassment. If I had the information to sue I would- or even better- to commit bodily harm. Unfortunately, with it being illegal and all, I cannot do that. Oh, if only the laws worked to protect 'the people', rather than the scam artists, life would be just peachy.

I couldn't find them on google. However, you are right about outsourced companies ignoring the laws. In this Buyer Beware age we have to protect ourselves. Just a personal note, I finally finished my junk debt lawsuit forms package that I alluded to in another post. These forms are easy, fill in the blank motions that you can fill out and file in any US court. They're called BTDCezFORMS Here is the link to copy and paste. http://caf0bi7kqk14infk1n2horfzjc.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=TID1

beatthedebtcollector, in instances dealing with US companies your site may be of assistance. However, these are scammers operating out of India. They don't care about US laws or FDCPA rules. All they want is some poor sap to feel threatened and send them money. You can look up Cash Advance America and they use a bunch of ither different names. Same method of perpetuating a scam, same names and same phone numbers.

I agree with you, something needs to be done. However, you are the only one who can do something about it. I have a website for you, beatthedebtcollector.com. Go to the letter page and you can find letters to deal with this type of harassment. There is a flashing red link in the upper right corner. Click on it and you will go to the blog fo this site. Post a comment on any of the posts and you will receive a quick response to any comment or question. I also suggest that you tell them that you are recording the phone call. I also suggest that you actually record the call if you have a recording device.

I received a call at work and on my personal cell phone line from the number [protected]. A gentlemen with an accent left a very rude message and stated that he was calling from John Morrison Law Office. When I called back the number the gentlemen with an accent by the name of Kevin Johnson stated that I owe money for a payday loan and that I was being charge on 3 accounts. He then read me my SSN and asked if I had his email and I stated no. He asked if I received a letter regarding the charges that were getting pressed on me and I said no. After that he said it can go to court and total cost would be $3282.50 or we could settle it outside of court for $424.50. He then told me to go to Walmart and buy a Walmart card and load the money on there. And only a Walmart prepaid card brand and no other brand. He told me to fax him a letter stating "I, Julie Senethip, had no intention to do this and would like to fix this issue by making a full payment of $424.50 on June 24, 2011" then sign it. He gave me affidavit number of AH-4217. He said once I bought the card to send him a fax to [protected] attention Kevin Johnson. He told me to write the number of the card from walmart along with the three digit number as well as the exp date BUT DO NOT ACTIVATE THE CARD. After I hung up with him I did not know what to do. I came home to gather all my bill paper work together to see where I missed a payment and was not contacted. I tried to call back the number and it stated that the mailbox was full. Then hours later he called back with a different number [protected] asking if I had faxed over the letter regarding the payment. This time his name was Kevin Peterson from John Morrison Law Office. I asked which company sent him the info and he said CASH ADVANCE USA. I asked for a phone number and he stated that he could not give it to me and that CASH ADVANCE did not have time to talk to me regarding the debt that they were trying to collect. He said to me that I had no intention to pay the debt and told me that a sheriff would be coming to my work tomorrow for me. I asked for more info and he could not give it to me.

i would not post your phone number or any other contact information on any page that you do not intend for the entire world to see i personally am a hard working honest man and am not going to do anything with it i wish i could say that for all of us but i can't.
have a nice day :)

i would not put your phone number on here may i remind you that this page can be viewed by anyone. now i am a hard working honest man im not going to do anything with it but not everyone is. this is probally how these people get your number

I received an email from the florida attorney general saying they are investigating me for not paying back cash advance usa. Then the email went on and I feel it became threatening. The email was not addressed to me nor was it dated. It also wasn't signed by the attorney general. The man who claims to be an attorney in the office is named Jack Wilson. He was suppose to have sent it. The phone number on the email is suppose to be that of the florida attorney general office. I did some checking and the phone number comes up in new jersey.

A company going by the Name APS claiming they represent Cash Advance USA about a loan I supposedly received in January of this Year they told me I needed to have my Attorney call them and that they had all the documents to take me to court and they would see me in court. I told them I have not gotten any documents in the mail they told me it was sent to my email address which I have never gotten anything from this company regarding any Pay day loan I received from Cash Advance USA which I never did complete any loan with any of them.

I called them several time to talk to a supervisor but got the same answers about having my Attorney talk to them and they would see me in court. When I asked when this so called loan was to have taken place they told me in January and I told them I did not have a bank account with the Bank they mentioned the supposed deposit was made they hung up on me several times. I am checking with the credit reporting bureau's to make sure they can't put a negative and false report on my reports and I am calling my bank to make sure that if anything comes from this company claiming to be some kind of Legal firm can access my Account. Which I doubt as I told them they need to send me a legal document with the complaint and a court order to appear I almost hope they try to take me to court as I would love to sue these people out to scam hard working people and rip them off. And use harassment tactic to get money from them.

I Applyied for a cash advance. They had a Law Firm Call me saying that they deposit $300.00 dollars into my account. They told me I could settle out right now for $1, 000.00 Dollars. They said they Deposited this money into my account on May, 2010.. I called my Bank where they said they deposited... And Nothing There...They Are A Fraud Company Trying To Get Money Out Of People...

Dude, it's a SCAM call. If they call you again just say to the caller, "I need your full name & company's address so I may provide it to my states's Attorney General's office with a formal complaint." More likely the idiot will just hang up and won't ever call you again. LOL

Next time you hear from them, let them know from them moment you identify yourself that you are recording the phone call, also let them know any other communications & all phone numbers from this point on will also be recorded because you feel threatened and that you feel you are being scammed and until they can provide you with legal documents proving who they are and what they are trying to collect you will not send them any money per the FBI .

This is a classic scam where you have sent your information online to someone and these people have it.WHATEVER YOU DO, DONT SEND THEM A PENNY!

this people call me time and time again. every dept they transfer me to they all talk with a middle eastern accent. cant barely understand. telling me that i commite did fraud and broke several U.S laws. that someone will escort me to court. everytime i asked for more info they start repeating themselves over and over again. when i traced back the number comes back to an unregister number. and if i dont pay it will get more serious. everytime they call they block the number. completely bogus. why did cash advance gave out information about people in their data base

I received a call today at 1:43 p.m. from the Carson law firm stating that I owe for a loan that I took out in June of 2010 WHICH NEVER HAPPEN! I was told if I didn't make payment then they was going to file papers today and my employer would let me go and my social security number would be blackballed. I asked this man who was the company and how much did they said I owe He informed me that he was not calling me to tell me who it was and the amount is $363.00, I asked him to mail me the information so I could see what papers I had supposed to have signed He then said time was running out and I had to pay today again I asked who was the company and they he said it was USCASH.net and the phone number is [protected] in Texas.This man name was James and He also said he didn't know what was going to happen and God Bless. This sounds like the same people using different names and by the way DID I TELL YOU THAT I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HIM EITHTER and I was told also to get an attorney but what really bothers me is that he has my name, address, phone number and my social security number.

I have been receiving phone calls from a cash advance place in CA for a few days now. Initially, I was ignoring the phone calls, that is, until they called me at my place of employment. When I was talking to the guy, he asked me to verify the last four digits of my social security number, and the last four digits of my checking account number. Both numbers he provided to me, and I told him they were correct. He then stated that I took out a cash advance and did not pay it back to the company. Charges were being filed on me and I was being investigated for fraud. He said I could settle with them for $600+ dollars. If I chose not to settle, I would be taken to court an pay upwards of $2, 000. I asked him why I never received the information in the mail and he told me that they emailed it to me. I then asked him what the name of the attorney was that he worked for, he would not tell me. I told him to send me something in the mail and he said that he was unable to do that because the lawyer has the information. I then asked him why I never received the affidavit that he claimed existed. He said that the attorney and himself were the only two people to get them. The call at work was ended, his name being Jeff Matthews. Today when I was home he called me again, this time from a different number. He told me that he was informing my place of employment that I am being investigated for fraud charges and that they would see me in court. I was very frustrated, and almost screaming at the guy because I was so confused. Finally, without any resolution, the phone call was ended. I "Googled" the phone number that he called from and came across these complaints. Within the last two hours, I have contacted Homeland security, the FBI, the FTC, and all my banking information has been changed. I HIGHLY recommend you do the same if this is happening to you. I do not know how they got my information, but they had it.

The number that I have here at home for them is [protected] and [protected] (Displays on Caller ID as
"RECEIVABLESPERF."

I do have one more contact number for them at work, but unfortunately, I don't have it available to me right now. I hope this helps any of you. I HIGHLY recommend being proactive about this and not "hoping" it goes away. Take the action and save yourself from any future issues.

Please feel free to contact me on here if you have any additional questions. I'll be more than happy to give you any information that you may need.

APRIL 27, 2017 I have been getting multiple calls from this Cash Advance stating that I owe them $300.00 and I need to go to Walmart so I can deposit the money! They have called my job over 75 times and me a lot! I threaten then by stating that I have contacted my lawyer and they will be sued for harassment! They stated that I was a ### sucking b****! LOL...REALLY DUDE! They also stated that I will be sorry and they will make my life a living hell! They was calling from a magic jack number [protected]; [protected]...when I would call them back they would keep hanging up on me! Silly Rabbits...IF YOU'RE GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING PLEASE DON'T SEND ANY CASH! The people who call have really thick indian accents!

I had a loan with this company and because they did not tell me I had to go on their website to let them know if I wanted to extend the loan or pay it off they would extend it and charge me 78.00 they have totally messed up my checking account I will never get it straightened out. They have no phone # or address on their website to get in touch with them. I have sent them stuff through there website asking them if I could pay them by western union or money order and they said NO.I have never heard of such a thing. They will not work with me at all. We have had to cancel our checking account and stop all debits because of them.I also did not know they were from Malta or I would not have done business with them It should be illegal for them to do this.DO NOT BORROW FROM THIS COMPANY! YOU WILL GET SCREWED

I went online several months ago searching for payday loans. I was desperate because I could not get a decent job and I was out of money. Many of the loan places I found out, were connected to hackers who thrive on people with hard luck. Cash Advance was one of them, coming from another site, I never registered with them, However, they took money out of my account on a regular basis without my authorization. I had a lot of overdraft charges form this and other ones as a result. I started getting phone calls from someone pretending to be a law enforcement office saying that I had a suit against me and that I was going to be arrested unless I cooperated with him and sent him money by Western Union.I do not use that service ever. I closed that account because the scammer had bled me dry. I still get overdraft notices from that closed account and phone calls, too.

i was also called last night n the mans nae was robin n he said that i was being sued by cash advance and that special agents were being sent to my home i tried to tell him i never took a loan out from cash advance but he had all my info my number ss
number n driver lisence number even my mothers name he was im thinking indian decent because he had that accent im very nervous about this n should i be worried the number he called from was all zeros n he would not give me a call back number

my name is sheneika cure, I have been receiving phone calls from315-332-1611 and other numbers from people saying that they are from diffrent collection agencies, they are claming that they gave me a loan in the amount of 300.00, when i tell them that they never gave me anything they become very rude, threatening me and my job.i have gotten complaints from the company i work for, that they are calling and being very rude and nasty.i have given these people all of my personal information, bank, social sercurity number, job and personal reffrences...i have now gotten my local police department involved, but they just gave me a card with the case number and said they can't do anything because this is something that is happening everyday, and untill i gather more information their hands are tied...i was pissed and now i have made a complaint to the FBI, .thier has to be something that can be done, these WEST INDIAN people can't keep getting away with this, they are trying to hurting hard working, honest americans

I received a call from Cash Advance stating that I took out a loan on the internet and I did not have the money in my account to cover it, so if I don't pay them the money now that they are going to prosecute me for Fed Bank Violations, check fraud and something else I don't recall. I told them I did apply for a loan but they wanted me to pay them $150. up front and they would reimburse me this with my loan that I told them no I was paying them to loan me money. I asked them when I supposedly got this loan and he said he couldn't give me an exact date only between Feb and July of 2017. I asked who funded this loan and he said that my attorney would have to get that information from them. But he works for a company called Cash Advance and they have many loan companies that have them collect money. He had a middle eastern accent and he wouldn't give me a file number or anything. He just said that if I didn't pay that I would be arrested in the morning. I am very scared, I didn't get this money. I am disabled and live on a limited income. I can't afford an attorney or to go to jail. If I got this loan I would of paid it, but I didn't get one. He called me from New York. [protected]

Just got a call, saying we owed this "Cash USA Advace" people $800, said that they had our checking account number and when I asked he said a number of an account we NEVER had! Where he got our ssn# and other information if mind boggling but they did and then tried threatening us to pay saying they will sue us, and I told them go ahead, we have bank records that prove your wrong, he had the nerve to say bank account records wont hold up in court, I beg to differ buddie! Oh and yes, Indian speaking, or Middle eastern accent and he calls himself, Paul White. I actually busted out laughing. The reason I was somewhat cool with this guy was because about 5 months ago the same thing happened, but this time they actually did have out checking account number and we had to close our account because of it, but our bank said not to worry about it there was NEVER a deposit and REPORT them! BEWARE!

I received a call the other day from a [protected] of the Cash Advance Legal Department. I have never taken a loan out with them however they called and said that I owed around $350 +/-. They told me that I took that loan out in August of 2017. This guy knew my name, address, social security number, where I worked, etc. He told me that I had a lot of complaints against me and that I will be seeing the police come to my work to arrest me and that I will be taken to court and will owe around $3000- $4000. He had a very heavy middle eastern or Indian accent but his name was Paul Williams. I never gave any money to the company. They called again on Christmas Eve and I told them that my husband is an FBI agent and I hung up on him. I'm not sure if he will call back or not. Today I looked at the Cash Advance website and quickly learned that there has been an ongoing problem with these people claiming that they are with Cash Advance. I have contact the Federal Trade Commission, FBI Fraud Department as well as let Cash Advance know what happened (because they said on their website to call them if people like me have never had a loan but recieved a call like this). Do not give these people any money. They are trying to extort money. I found out through Cash Advance that there is a small group of 5 people maximum in either India or somewhere in the middle east working to try to get money from people here in America. Like they did with me, they would ask me if I wanted to speak to their manager or supervisor which typically ends up being the person right next to them and is obviously not a manager nor supervisor.

i have been receiving harassing phone calls from a mr. allen taylor whom states that he is an officer form the financial fraud investigation department. he states that i have received a payday loan and that if i don't repay it i will be arrested. he told me that i borrowed 350$ from them and that i could settle out of court for 580$ or pay a fine of 5000 $. i never received a loan from these people. they have been callin my work harassing me and leaving me messages on my cell phone. when i ask for documentation stating that i had received this so called loan he refused. he was very rude and very disrespectful. when i told him i was conrtacting the police he hung up. i then *69 the number and received the number and called back and asked to speak to a supervisor. the man on the phone was very rude i told him that i did not receive a lon from them and that i was contacting the police. he said that he didnt care if i called th police or the us army. they had my social secutrity number and address and would continue to harass me and get me fired form work and hung up. they called me back again and i told them i will not speak to them and that i had contacted my local police department and informed them of the situation and hung up. the man had a middle eastern accent and was very rude. if anyone has information about them please let me know.

Hi Dixie,
I just wanted to let you know that I received that EXACT "affidavit" except the number on the bottom is a Texas number. I have contacted the credit bureau and my both my banks. Fortunately they have access to an old closed account, yet the fact that they even had the information shook me. They haven't called my mother, but they have called my job. Also, my best friend told me that two of her co-workers have received the exact same phone calls and that they were EXTREMELY rude. She told them to go to hell and hung up! In our country, if we were going to be arrested the cops would just show up, never will we ever receive a warning before the arrest! This to me is considered another form of terror and I am going to report this to my local news station!

Now they have all my information and I don't know what to do!

Yes, I had the same guy calling me...leaving voicemails saying I have a legal disput that I owe them money...I signed up for a loan, I didn't know it was one of these scammers! I couldn't believe I fell for this [censored]!

It's illegal for a bill collector, to call you and threaten with arrest. Report this guy to the FBI and the federal trade commission. I will be writing about this diligently. He called my husband's employer yesterday threatening to have him arrested. It's always a guy with a middle eastern accent. This time he is impersonating a dead person. He will say he's Alvin russel aka Taylor smith and now he's Officer Jack Thompson. Traced him back to cashnet usa, we don't even have a payday loan with him. Also, FYI he's trying to say he's from a Financial Law Division, Just Google it and you will see this doesn't exist neither does the people he impersonates. I wish the FBI would catch this jerk! he's using prepaid phone services/cards to call people so they cannot trace him. Report to FTC and the FBI asap.

I received an email message from a Pamela Williams([protected]) that I owed some money to US Cash Advance from a loan from Nov. 2008. I called my bank and they requested documents so that they could check into this. When I emailed back the lady told me that I was doing scam and that she was in the business for 19 years. She told me that I needed to pay back 1800 dollars plus the loan itself and that I needed to send it to her through Money pak green dot (at walmart). I requested the documents that I had to have signed and she said that there were no documents and that the company would not send me any they just wanted to make an example of me for not paying. Today 07-29-11, she emailed again stating that I needed to make my first payment of 250 and when would they receive it. She never verified my social just said that it was on hold through the Government. I also had a different email and home address in
2008. As of yet I have yet to hear back from her.

A guy by the name of Jeremy Hall has been harassing me with an phone call threating me about an us cash advance loan that i do not know anything about he said that they will be on my job Tuesday and lock me up for 30 days until i get this resolved i have not been served with any papers or anything but i just tired of the threating phone calls by this guy he has an Indian accent when i try to return an call it will not go threw its an [protected] number i just want the harassing and threating phone calls to stop it is getting out of hand

I too have been called several times. First I told him I thought it was a scam and he hung up. Second they left a number and I got a lady. Told her I would like to go to court. She said she would send paperwork. What is their purpose? Do they really have my personal inf0? Are the hoping to get someone to just lay down and pay. I don't get it.

Im getting the same calls too.

I was informed by a Mid-Eastern guy by the name of Tony Hill, that I owed Advance Cash USA $300.00 from a cash advance that I suppossedly borrowed back in Dec. 2010. When I ask him where I lived when I took ouit this advance, he stated my address that I had when I lived in Black Mtn., NC. I moved from there back in June 2010 to SC. He told me that if I paid him $460.00, then we would call the account paid in full. Believe me, this is a SCAM to get money from me. He is suppossed to be sending me information that I am to use in order to send him the money. Guess what, I AM NOT SENDING HIM NOTHING.

I have received threatning calls about a loan I did not take and they keep calling my job and cell phone everyday.

I received a call from a man with a Middle Eastern accent claiming to be Ryan Brooks. He stated that he was calling from Jackson Law Firm and that there was a lawsuit filed against me and my social security number regarding a payday loan from August of last year taking out from Cash Advance USA. My husband and I called the number back and my husband spoke to this man briefly. We were given a number to call this cash advance place to verify some information because I had never taken out a cash advance. The man said it was done online and the number given was [protected]. When we called the number it turned out to be a personal cell number and of course, no answer. I can only guess that my information was stolen when I had applied for an auto loan online. I now know that that was a very DUMB idea. I immediately took steps to protect my identity and social, oh then I called this guy back and scolded him for trying to scam money from hard working people. It did make me feel better, but I just can't help but think that other people out there are made to be so scared that they give in and send money to these crooks! Please beware of this scam and do not let yourself become a victim.

I received a call today from a guy identifying himself as a US Investigating Crime Unit Supervisor, Officier Ben Blackmore. Mr. Blackmore told me that I had a outstanding loan that I did not pay. I explained to him that I did not take a long out to a Cash Advance USA branch. I asked him when he told me April 15, 2011. I told him that I dont have a record, and he will have to provide me with that information. he called me on 954.639.9259. I called the number back to see if i could indeed identify the office he was calling me from. I hung up because it did not seem legitimate. he had a strong foreign accent that sent me into alert. he called off my address, bank account information and my social security number and asked me to settle this debt of 475.00 for the original loan and that he would settle this complaint at a cost of 665.00 if i took care of it immediately if i do not they will prosecute me and that is his job. he was giving me a chance to avoid going to court and them prosecuting me and that i would never get another loan and he would have me fired from my job. I hung up on him, and he called me back again. I explained to him to do not contact me again on my business line so he has not called me back. The email address that he says that I used to make this transaction is for junk mail, and never would I have conducted business under that email address so I know that he is not telling the truth. I had my account frozen on today because I am really scared based on the information that he provided.

I received a call from a man who had a heavy Indian accent. He stated I had received a payday loan and did not pay it. I told him I had never received a loan and could print out a copy of my bank statement to prove it. He then got angry and stated he did know nothing about the loan but that I needed to pay him $300. He then stated that he knew exactly where I was at and would have me arrested in 45 minutes. While searching for the contact number for Cash Advance USA, I came across this website with a list of similar incidents and complaints. When I called the number back to inform him that I wouldn't be paying him and that it was a scam, he then started using vulgar language and to top it off he said he would "blow up" our house, and that he would never get caught. I think it's ridiculous that this type of scam has not been stopped. Something should be done.

We have been getting phone calls 4 to 5 times a day from a Person that refuses to identify themselves from a Law firm (Stone & Assoc) stating they are going to file criminal chrages against my wife and her social security number for refusing to pay back a $200.00 pay day loan from Cash Advace USA. We paid that loan back two weeks after we receive it, now they state that we owe $10, 000.00 which includes attorney fees. The phone number they call from is different everytime, the latest number is [protected]. The area code varies depending on the day of the week, so far we have them from 270, 940, 520, 317, 515, 703 and 202. The person speaks with a very deep Indian or Pakistani accent and is rude and threatening. They refuse to provide or send any information unless we have an attorney. I will update this complaint with more phone numbers as they come in...

A man named Michael Johnson called and gave me the
telephone number [protected]) at the Law Office of John Morrison and told me to call Kevin Peterson about a law suit against me. I called the number and this guy answers the phone. He told me not to interrupt him and he would explain everything. He started list some charges against me: internet fraud, bank fraud, money laundering and failure to pay money that was deposited into my bank account by Cash Advance USA. When I told him that I never received any wire transfer for $500 from Cash Advance USA. He told me that the police was going to come to my job and drag me to jail. Then he hung up when I asked him to repeat what he said. I never received any money from Cash Advance USA.

The middle eastern man you could hardly understand has called me now two times and said that I got a pay day loan in 2010 and that they were filing criminal charges against me. I explained I was a 42 year old woman who was disabled to a wheel chair and that I had no bank account and hadn't had one since I was in my 20's. They said I had a check out standing. I explained to the man I had never heard of this mecca bank and there was no such bank where I live. The number orriginated in Compton CA and when I tried to call it back it said the number was non working. The number was [protected]. I just got a return call from them I explained again I never recieved a loan from anyone. He said don't worry miss Tammy the company will call you in 2 to 3 days. Call me for what? I don't owe them anything I don't have a bank and haven't for years now. I was flat on my back and unable to walk let alone go get a payday loan. Besides I had money from my accident then and why would I get a stupid pay day loan when I had money. Besides I was on my back and couldn't even spend any money if I wanted to. These people are really starting to freak me out. What do I do about this?

First let me apologize for any language I may use, but I am pissed off. This sand-monkey called my office today asking for an ex-employee, told him this person no longer worked there, he asked for the HR Dept. I told him I was the office manager, he kept demanding for HR, finally he threathend me with arrest for not giving that ex-employee's information. Me, being a collector I asked him, "are you threatening me" he said yes he would have me arrested, the ### I am, I told him to bring it on big boy, you do not scare me. He started yelling at me and I just hung up on him, and I will be dad gummed if the SOB called me right back and I asked why I hung on him, I told him because i Was at work and he pissed me off, he again threatened, and I said some un-lady like words to him and hung up again. The ignorant SOB gave me his #, guess who got a phone call once I got home, told him I had checked and the name he gave me was not for an attorney in North Carolina, I checked the NC Bar Assoc., I advised him I would be reporting his information to the ABI (Alabama Bureau of Investigation. He said go ahead, again I said will you damn sand monkey. I wish he would come to Alabama, I have friends that will be wiling to help him back to his native country ( you can't understand him because he has a heavy overseas accent, not like us Americans talk, and he is not from our precious United States. If anyone has any other information that can help me out, I would appreciate you posting it and I will be checking it regularly. If this sand monkey is reading this, I hope he understands he does not need to piss off a Southern Alabama girl, we look for revenge. WATCH OUT SAND-MONKEY, I AM LOOKING FOR YOU

Receiving mulitple calls on cellphone, home phone, work phone stating I owe money and we can settle. My phone at work has picked up a number with the Country code of 91, which is the code for India. Calls are from John and Shawn which is to be a supervisor, but they sound like the same person. They hang up or get irritated when you ask questions. Have threatened to come to job, I invited them to come on down. I am continuing to call them back to obtain as much information as I can to file with the FTC, FCC and State Attorney General. Please be aware. They have personal information so I changed bank accounts and added an alert on my Credit Report. Please file a formal complaint so that these folks can be stopped. I am sure they are having some success which is why they keep doing it. Be careful and file a formal complaint, the more information or complaints received the more they can do to stop them.
