I received a call from [protected], or at least that is what I was told was the return call #. I hit *69 and was given the message the call could not be traced. I was told I was speaking with Nathan Davis and the call was regarding a legal matter. I told this "Nathan" that I was not able to receive personal phone calls at work...he then stated it was not personal. I asked for a number where I could call them back at and was given the above referenced 888#. I told this "Nathan" that I would have to call back but I wanted to know what it was in reference to. He said he would transfer me to his office because he was not able to give me any information. So he transferred me which seemed like he handed the phone off to someone else who was named Rachel Williams. "Rachel" told me that the call was in regards to a payday loan I had not paid from US Cash Advantage that was taken out in July 2008. I have no idea if I took this loan out or not so I asked for her to email or fax me some information. SHe said they already had and the only way I could obtain any documents was for them to send to my attorney and asked for my attorney's name. I told her I did not have one and I would check in to this matter. I have received calls like this before supposedly from other payday loan companies and been threatened many times. If I owe $ I will pay it but this harassment has to stop! The people I spoke with have an middle-eastern accent/dialect and would not provide me with enough information to check the validity of this. Based on past experience - I plan on disregarding this call UNLESS they can provide information in writing that I can verify from my end. It is ridiculous that people can harass hard working persons with scams like this.

Mr Marshll calls and states hes from the NY POLICE DEPARTMENT calling from [protected] informing me that I have an arrest warrant against my name and my social for an unpaid lon. He coud not give me any information as to when the loan was taken out and where the loan was sent to. The only thing he could tell me was that I took out a loan for 200 dollars and refused to pay it back. I called the number back and found out he was calling from a call center and just refused to give me any iformatin about the loan and said he was sending the sheriff to my home to arrest me.

Received one of those calls again about a bogus loan. Told them they are crooks and i don't do any business with Scamers. They called back and i said "police department" state your emergency" he said what and hung up. These people are scamers and try to scam old people. I belief i am writing a letter to the US congress and complain about these people, maybe something gets done. They don't stop calling i am going to blow a whistle in the phone, maybe that stops them.

I also had a call today from a Gary or Jerry Hunt (aslo thick accent not sure if indian or middle eastern) telling me it was an urgent call reguarding a hit on my Soc. # and when i called back he told me that the person who called me was out even though i called right back. He said he was the first guys supervisor and he was officer Richard someone. He then told me i had defaulted on a loan taken out last year in 2010 for 400.00 and now with all the fees it was going to be 9, 000 and i had an option to settle it with him now over the phone or be taken to court because it was a criminal case now. He of course had some information on me like all the other people have said in their stories so i went on to ask how this got so far and why had i not been contacted if such loan was outstanding for so long since obviously they had all my info.? He did not go in to details about that he just asked me what i could pay and i said nothing because i did'nt take it out. I had last year my wallet stolen at work so my mind immediately thought that is something pertaining to this call because i have been dealing with fraud this whole last year with my identity stolen because of the wallet situation. I told him i don't know how this could have happened and he got rude with me like the others have said and ended up hanging up on me. Sound familiar? Any i went immediately online to find out some more info. from this pay day loan web site and that's when i came across this complaint site and i am sure glad i did because i was in tears before i read all of the complaints that were eerily similiar to the encounter i just had. These people are full of crap!

On 05/25/2011 I was contacted by US cash advace stating that there was an unpaid loan in my name for 350.00, they were going to sue me if I didnt pay. I never took out any loans I told them and they were arguing the fact that they have all this info on me. The so called loan was as the person on the other end stated is was deposited into my account, as soon as I asked for that info they hung up on me. Be aware of these people, there is a special place in hell for people like these scammers.

I HAVE READ ALL THESE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OF THESE FOREIGN TALKING PEOPLE CALLING MY PHONES BACK TO BACK AND CALLING MY JOB TALKING ABOUT THEY ARE OFFICERS OR WITH A LEGAL OFFICE AND I OWE FOR A CASH ADVANCE LOAN THAT I DID NOT PAY. I WAS VERY STUPID TO GO ONLINE TO APPLY FOR A LOAN, BUT I NEVER RECIEVED ANY LOAN BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT AND THEY WOULDN'T TAKE A PREPAID ACCOUNT. THEY CURSE ME AND TELL ME THAT I WILL BE ARRESTED AND ARGUE WITH ME STATING THAT I OWE THIS MONEY AND I NEVER RECIEVED ANY MONEY FROM ANYONE. I WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO STOP THIS CAUSE IT IS VERY ANOYING TO ME AND WHEN THEY CALL MY JOB IT IS VERY EMBARASSING. I HAVE PUT IN A COMPLAINT SO THAT THEY CAN CONTACT ATHORITIES, BUT WHO CAN I GET TO GET THIS STOPPED. I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE MY MIND BECAUSE OF THIS, BUT SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHO TO CONTACT OR WHAT TO DO?
