Cash Advance USA review: Bogus Collections - Scammers!!! 446

I got one of these calls today they called my wife on her cell phone every hour looking for me and told her that they was going to have me arrested on Friday (today is Tuesday). She calls me and is worried about me going to jail I told her I had no idea I have never taken a payday loan and told her if they call back get a number and I will call them to see what it was about. When I got home I tried to call number was no good [protected]) and the guys name is Frank Smith he spoke with a strong middle eastern and was very hard to understand well about ten minutes go by and they call back, I answered and they asked for me. The guy (Frank Smith) said hang on and then some lady gets on the phone could not get a name said she worked for the attorney general in California and I need to come to California and appear in court for a loan that I didn't pay for. She could not give me any info or amount on anything she said that she will just drag my butt to court, she is sending her investigation team to arrest me so I will see. We called our local police dept and told them and they sent an officer out told him what was going on he called the number that was given to us and said it is a scam he pulled out his phone and did a search and found that it is a scam. People be aware that if they are not giving you any info and are asking for your money think first do your research if my wife would have given them our debit card number we would be hurt really bad. KEEP THIS GOING we work hard for our money why try and take it some of us are looking for jobs and can't get hired good luck everyone. Robby

My mother has been getting these harrasing phone calls from a [protected]...Supposedly these heavy accented people are looking for me, left a message that i have 3 accounts against me for some alleged payday loan that i took out...I havent lived with my mom in 20 years. My mom called me all freaked out...I called this numbers got some ignorant [censor] who i cannot understand, told him to call my cell phone, gave him my number. Told him NOT to call my mom anymore...He called me back, I tried to get information reguarding this alleged loan i took out.. He tells me that i need to go to court, gonna come after me with his team of investigators, the whole story didnt make sense...I cussed him out, now they call my poor mom everyday, leave nasty messages...My mom has made recordings of these phone messages...we are going to call the proper authorities and hopefully get these people to stop calling her.

i just got off the phone with an fellow with an indian accent who told me i took out a loan in june for $300 and have failed to pay it back. he called yesterday as well but i was at work and couldn't speak with him. he asked if i had an attorney, which i don't, then proceeded to tell me that i now owe upwards of $4000! yes, this guy did have my email address, home address, even the account and routing # from a pre paid visa card i obtained in september. i looked over the statement from the visa card bank (metabank) there is no deposit...how could there have been if the loan was made 3 months before i ever opened the prepaid card account! and yeah i then became angry mostly because i was unable to understand the heavy accent asnd the guy had absolutely NO information on the exact date of the deposit, how i couls reach the company in question direct, or even if there was an england or american english speaking representative i could speak with so each time this man hung up on me i'd call back, , , , , oh for a good 10 minutes straight...he even began talking dirty to me...now so professionall! the last time i called (10 minutes ago) he said he was at 66 commerce ft woth texas and then sounded like hes was speaking to a cop, you know, giving him my number because I AM HARASSING HIM! so now i wait to see if in fact i will receive a summons in the mail...makes me SO goddamn happy because i just recently got all my financial stuff straightened out moved in with the boyfrien after 15 years and i don't even want to see the look on his face when he hands me some bogus letter like this! thanks guys!

This is in regards to Advance cash and another call I recd from instant Case: I was contacted by "Sean Hardy from # [protected]. Stated that I was being sued. Started that a company called Insta Cash has deposited $300.00 into account ending in 7259. I had made an inquiry about a personal loan online about a month ago because I needed a deposit of about $1500.00 for a surgery I was having, but the next day my e-mail was flooded with SPAM and I did not authorize a loan. The 7259 was for a Visa Direct Deposit card with a company called Account Now. I placed a phone call back to this company to # [protected] and reached a Person Identifying himself as Alan Clark. I requested to know where I could pick up the information about the lawsuit and he told me their head quarters was at 400 South County Road, Wheaton IL 60187 and was giving a number [protected]--which went to a non-working number. I goggled this and this is listed as Anderson and Associated website: http://www.andersonandassociatespc.com. I called the phone number [protected] and spoke with a Amy S. and she told me that is not what they do in their law office. She did not have information for me.

When I called Account Now to verify if I had indeed received a Direct deposit to the Direct Deposit Visa--there was a zero balance and there was no transactions I have cancelled the account.

Tct from “Justin Russo” From phone number [protected]
Stating he was representing Advance Cash that I had recd a case from “Advanced Cash” would not disclose the sum of money. Stated he was calling from Dispute Resolution Center At 3814 Strathmore Dr. Belle Glade FL 38160 Stated I was being sue and that the money was depositited to the Acoount Now Credit card and cited the Bank routing number and direct deposit number.

I would suggest you all file a claim with the Federal Trade commission and call the FBI. Maybe we can get some attention.

I have gotten two calls today from the same person telling me I owe Cash Advance USA $780.00 but I don't have to pay them that much. When I start asking questions like when I got this loan he gets mad and I told him I wasn't paying something I've never heard of and he said he never heard of me either until I became a deadbeat. When you start pushing for answers they get mad and hang up on you. I had one call me at work and when I hung up on him he called back and talked to my supervisor. Told her was with some law enforcement agency in South Carolina. I called this agency and they had never heard of him. They even told me to be careful because of these scams. And they want you to fax them a letter with your debit card info stating that they have permission to take this money out of your acct. They don't want your checking info. I am so tired of this. I can change my phone number but I can't change jobs.

I have received numerous calls over the last 2 days at home and at work. The caller has the same "M. O" as the ones described in the above blogs - A person who has a thick Indian/Pakistani accent who identifies himself as "Officer Bent Parks in the Financial Claims Investigations Unit". This idiot asked me to write down verbatim, a letter that he was going to recite to me that would authorize he or his company to deduct a past due collection amount straight from my debit or credit card. He wanted me to fax this letter to him with my signature and debit/credit card info on it as "good faith" on my part. When I started my own line of questioning as to who he represented and asked to speak to his supervisor, I got the complete run around. If anyone out there has any suggestions on how to make the harrassment stop, PLEASE SHARE IT! In the mean time, if this guy calls back I'm going to have my own fun with these clowns and put them on the defensive with my own questions. In addition, I called national directory assistance and asked for a toll free number or corporate headquarters number for US Cash Advance and was told they had no listing for them.

I reported the harassment to the Federal Trade Commission (F.T.C). The F.T.C. representative told me that these callers are in violation of the Fair Debt Collections Act and they (F.T.C) are conducting an ongoing investigation against US Cash Advance. If anyone else is dealing with this, file a complaint with the F.T.C @ [protected] or log onto FTC.gov

just got a call from some middle eastern [censored] talking bout he's calling from the Bureau of Crime Investigations...I asked him if this was for real and he said yes. i then asked for his name, he gave me Alex Turner i asked for his badge info and title. he said Affavidit Professor...what type of [censor] is he trying to pull...i work for the federal gov't, first off, the FBI is not going to arrest you for not paying a pay day loan. The BCI investigates crime ONLY. I told him this call was a scam and that he could kiss my [censor] and the attorney i dont have [censor]...i hung up.

i received a phone call yesterday about the same issue i did not borrow money from these people and i will not give them my personal info they were as well of middle eastern descent but the number that they gave me is out of new york BE CAREFUL of these scammers

I just recieved a phone call from the same agency and there was a middle eastern guy who was lying sayin gi recieved a loan and owed money and if i did not pay i was going to jail for 7 years max. when i started to ask where is this company and what is the loan company number and info he got really mad and begin threatning me with court and jail time. So i hung up and called the police and they told me to close out my bank account and to block the call...US CASH ADVANCE IS A SCAM SO BE CAREFUL!

This same thing happened to me today, i was at work and i got a call from joe jones, and he told me i had a law suit filled against my name, and to have my attorny contact him. what b.s i couldnt really understand him so i had him trasnfer me and he told me i was talking to a william jones before, which right there i asked to have information regarding the matter sent to me. he told me that i could not have any information about the matter, I told the gentleman that first off if there contacting me based on a loan, i didnt take out with a company. And "officers" that dont even have real names, or phone numbers in which i couldnt contact or call. then he was full, of it. Beware, they say there with uscashadvance, this particuler company, or better yet the only company within that name doesnt have any information about me, or know what im talking about. CAUTION. this is a scam. Dont listen to them! and please report them to the FTC.

Yesterday I received a call at work and on my cell from someone who said his name was Jason Smith. The no. given for me to call was [protected]. It didn't work. I told my office to get a better no. if he should call again. Today he called again from [protected] with a lie about I owed money from a internet loan from Cash Advance USA. I was passed from person to person when I tried to get information. They gave me 2 other numbers to call for information [protected] than said no that number doesn't work anymore, yes it does but it's a sex operation number. He gave that to me by accident. The 2nd number he gave me was [protected]. I told them there was no way I was paying them anything because it sounded like a scam/ fraud and identity theft . They hung up and I called right back. They got real mad at me and hung up the phone after telling me not to call them anymore. I told them not to call me! They tried to scare me using words like " suing me" " get an attorney". I KNOW SCAMMERS EXIST and they won't get me.

I just received the same call as you describe he gave me a SC number !

i agree with the complaints.. i just recieved a call from [protected] ext 5882.. they screamed at me saying i oewd US cash advance $300.00 about 5 mnths ago and that i need to pay off before i spend my days in jail... i did call us cash advance to make sure i did not owe any money and that it was a mistake. they did not have me in there system and told me what was going on. what a bunch of losers.. i did call the indians to give them a piece of my mind, calling me

I just receive a phone from a man FROM [protected] stating he worked for this law office and that I am being charge with fraud from a company called US Cash. This man stated that I took out a loan from this company after he said that I told him I never heard of this before then he transfered me to another man now this man, said that the money was depoisted into my account and when the company tried to get their money it was declined. He said that the amount was around $ 753 but if I was found guilty by a court of law that I would be responsible for almost $8, 000 not including court cost. I told him that I never took a loan out from this company it stated that US Cash have over 400 sites and it could be any one of the sites. I was very upset and scare cause this was news to me never received any letters he said that I needed to get a lawyer and that he was sending police officers to my work place to arrest me. I was quite nervous cause he had my account info and my place of empolyment along with my home address, I kept thinking to myself i never took a loan from this company what is this man talking about. I kept asking the man questions about this and he could not give me any information at all kept saying information will be sent to you by the officdrs on Monday and that this case was going to court on Friday and that I need a lawyer. After he hung up I waited fro 30 mins then call back 3 times the first 2 times the phone kept ringing finally a voice with a accent said something i could not undersdtand, so I call back the 3 time it said the number I call has been disconnected. Both of these men had a accent PLEASE EVERYONE BE CAREFUL AND PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THIS SCAM

Hi today i got a call from Advance Cash America playing me saying they sent money to my account back in June i called my bank there's no Record of them depositing any cash now they saying i owe them and they will be sending me to court WTF! They done lost they damn mind saying they gone all the evidence they need Hell i do to my Bank Got Proof!

Oh MY GOD! I received the same types of calls and they are all from the same type of people. I called back wanting to know a physcial address and was told that they not have one! So of course I said "So where the heck are you calling me from the middle of an open street! I hope you get run over by a truck! Such scammers It is unreal! I kept calling back and everyone that answered the phone was "A MANAGER" with an indian accent! GIVE ME A BREAK! I couldn't take any chances because they had all my information plus bank information I ran down to my bank and changed my account numbers! I WORK TO DAMN HARD TO HAVE SOME SCAMMERS DEAL MY MONEY!

They need to get real jobs like the rest of us instead of trying to steal from people!

I had the same thing happen to me as well. This thick accent guy so call "Michael Stone" called my phone about 3 wks ago and I did not answer the phone I had let it go to voicemail and he was seeming as if he was yelling. He was telling me it was urgent that I call them back immediately. I had ignored it and then I had just got off of work I say about 30 mins my manager called me and gave me a number to call back and the man said it was important and his name was "Michael Stone". I talked to him and he asked what number I was calling from and I gave him my work number not my cell and he was like saying my name and I was like who is this and he kept asking me who I was and I was like look you called me and I would like to know who you are. And he read all of my personal info to me after he told me about a lawsuit against me. And I was like for what. He was like for a payday loan and I was like I only had one and that was last yr and it was already paid for. And then he was like I had a $300 loan that needed to be paid and he was like I needed to pay it and I was getting sued. I was like raging mad and I told them I was a single mother of two working and going to school and I was very young trying to build up my life and he had got quiet on me. Needless to say he was not all that rude to me. But I told him he better have this straighten out or else I was gonna sue the company and I asked the company name and he said AdvanceCashUSA. I was like I never had an acct with them. thank god I had changed my acct. last wk but they were telling me that he was gonna give me a call back in the morning and I was like yeah you do that or else I will take actions in my own way. He was like okay thank you for your time and you have a nice day. I was like the same to you. But beware ppl. this is a real scam. do not answer out of the area code numbers unless you are aware of them. This is real and really sick of ppl to do with the economy the way it is becoming for a lot of families. I am a middle class young woman with very two young boys trying to get a college degree and a better job and I do not have time for all this kind of crap from ppl like this. Oh yeah the number was [protected] and they were calling from California but it is under a scam. But beware of any usual number. Please if you value your future and your children's future.

The samething just happened to me. "Vince David" was the name provided to me. I told "Vince" that I am aware of the scams going on and if there was such a case open against me, why haven't I receive proper official court documents from my State Attorneys office. I informed "Mr. David" he should something much better to do with his time and that he should stop calling my phone.

I'm not sure this helps however I'm posting this as it's regarding Cash Advance USA. I received a call at work from American Legal Svcs and was transfered from one operator to another with a thick accent. An "Anna Marshall" told me she wanted my attny's fax # to send copies of criminal charges against me for alleged collateral check fraud and theft by deception regarding a cash advance from Cash Advance USA in LA County. She also referenced my email address...I've never even been in LA County, let alone receive any kind of loan from them. She told me I had 30 minutes to get back to her with my attny's fax number. I emailed my attny, however when I called the number I was given [protected], the mail box was full! I became susupicous and found this site. I'm forwarding this info about the call to the California and Arizona's AG office and the FTC. Thanks for the good advice and hope this helps anyone who receives this kind of call. Almost ruined my Friday!

I received a call today (December 21, 2010) from this Indian accent investigator, stating that I got a loan from US CASH and never repaid it. I told him, I never received anything from you guy. Yes, I’ve applied for loan over the internet in the past but I never followed through. I ask him to give me the number [protected]) to US CASH so I can call them and get this straighten out. He told me to call him back @ [protected] ex. 318 after I speak with US CASH, so we can work out a payment plain. Called US CASH and they had all of my info, Name, Number, SS#, Bank info address, ect. I asked when was the money deposited and what was the amount. He would not tell my. He could not release that info. But he could only warn me that they are filing criminal charges against me for alleged collateral check fraud and theft by deception regarding a cash advance loan. I told him I should be filing criminal charges against you for call me and harassing me. My bank shows no record of this so called deposit and you have no date nor amount, so stop calling me. After arguing with him for another 5 mins. he hang up on me……….This is some BULL and these people need to get real jobs and stop scamming people out of there hard earned money. Im reporting them to the FCC, State Attorney, Federal Trade Commission, National Fraud Information Center and anything else that I find that I can report them too.

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday, December 30th. A woman with a thick Indian accent called me at work claiming I owed USA Cash Adavance $500.00 and that criminal charges were be filed against me. She went as far to say the police were om their way. She had all of my perosnal information, including my SSN and home address. I told her that she was commiting fraud and hung up the phone. She continued to call back until I finally answered the phone again at which point she demanded to speak to my supervisor. I refused and she evetually hung up on me stating that I would be crying in jail on Monday. She also left a message on my home voicemail stating that she worked for the Bureau of Crime Investigation and that I was a primary suspect in a fraud case. I immediately contacted the FBI and file a complaint with them. This is absolutely sickening. I have enough stress in my life and do not need to deal with this. Does anyone know what is being done about these people?

We got a phone call yesterday from a Kevin Shaw. He stated my husband owed almost $500.00 a loan we never got. He told my husband that criminal charges were going to be filed in California against him. My husband asked him for his bar number since he states he is an attorney. He gave us a fake number of course. He gave us a number to call back. We looked it up and found that it is a scam. So we contacted the FTC and made a report. We also did more research. We found that they are using an internet phone which has several numbers. I personally called this man back and gave him a fake name. He told me I owed money and would be taken to jail if I didnt pay. I tried to get an address for him and he refused to give it to me. I called him back several times with the alias name. He then threatened me. But after about 10 calls to him he quit answering his phone for about an hour. I did eventually get him back on the phone and told him that I have filed a report with the FBI, FTC, and my local law enforcement. He hung up. I called again and asked for some of the other names listed in this forum. He denied all of them. But what I found out is that he doesnt like to be called several times. So we continued to do so. The way we figured it is if he wants to harasse us then we will return the gesture. It bothers him deeply so we continued to do so through the night. He will not state what company he is with just that he is an attorney and pressing charges against us. He has my husbands info and gave me a fake social for my alias name. So we will continue to bother him. Maybe then he will go away. DONT LET THIS MAN GET AWAY WITH IT! Tell him is info is incorrect and then bug the hell out of him. Eventually the calls to you will stop since you are the one making the calls to him. True attorneys as you all should know do not conduct business that way. When I asked for his supervisor he stated that he was the supervisor. So I asked for the owner of the company. He hung up. I personally have worked in the collections field and know that he is breaking the law. When I told him that he hung up. Im telling you he didnt like me calling him back. BUT HEY TODAY NO CALLS!

My husband I, have just started receiving these calls. A man with a heavy Middle Easter Accent, named Brian Jones and the same guy called again and said his name was John Collins. He said we owed US Cash Loan money and that we were going to jail for not pay. (We haven't ever had a load like this.) He had my SS#, name, address and place I work. I have now turned this over to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and our local Sheriffs Dept. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A SCAM FROM THESE PEOPLE! Let your friend and family know! These guys are [censored]es and shouldn't be allowed in or around our country!

For the second time in two weeks, I recieved a harrassing phone call at work. I was off for the Christmas holiday and when I returned to work I had a voice mail waiting for me from David Williams at [protected] to call him in reference to loan I supposedly took out. To my surprise it was still an active number when I returned the call. Of course there was no answer and the answereing machine simply said "leave a message". If this is some big company or law firm you would think it would say more than that, or if these people were a little smarter, lol. Thank God I discovered it was a scam the first time before I gave them all my vital information, most of which they already have. That is shocking and scary to say the least. These people need to give it up. This scam is being broadcasted all over the internet. It is almost comical the way they give themselves these 'white american' names and can barely speak English. Its even funnier how they get real frustrated and unprofessional when you start asking them questions and throw them off the script they are reading. Unfortunately these scammers will probably get away with this because it is conducted over the phone and hard to trace. But if we all stick togther and keep complaining and pass the word on to all our friends and relatives, we can put a stop to the harrassing phone calls because everyone would recognize the SCAM as soon as we hear us cash advance then some white American name, rolling off the tounge of a person who can barely speak English.

I too have received calls at work from a company stating to "collect" on behalf of US Cash Advance. I have never heard of this company and when I was contacted last week by "Carlos", I explained to him that I could not take personal calls at work but he could contact me on my cell after work, he called my phone 53 times. Today he called me back and was very rude at the girl that answered the phone and demanded she interrupt my phone call to take his call. He finally hung up on her and called back, when I finally got on the phone, I let them know how rude they were and that I was taping the conversations and that for a "law firm" they were breaking all kinds of laws and creating all kinds of fines for themselves. He started yelling at me again and "transferred"(covered up the phone and passed off) to his boss, who kept yelling at me that I was too scared to not take care of this issued and that he would just call back and tell my boss all about me and get me fired. I laughed at him on the phone and told him I was not scared of him and that if he had proof of my debt to mail it to me as he is required by law to do and then take me to court. He hung up so we will see if they call back tomorrow for another round. The number they called from was [protected]

I am getting the same phone calls when I tell them to send me in writing I never recieve it when I ask the address to mail payment they say see you in court. One man said he would make my life a living hell. they only want the money paid for by prepaid card no way. has anyone actually gotton to the court stage. I think this is bogus My husband would never even take a loan out like that.

I got a call today 1/10/11 around 1:00pm from some middle eastern man who called himself officer smith and he said he was with some criminal investigation place and that US Cash Advance had gave them my information and that I am wanted for check fraud, nonpayment and some other nonsense. I asked for his badge number so I can verify his identity with the police and he said his badge number was 3990. And that his address is 600 Garden Ave Mount Vernon, NY [protected]. Well I called the police department in mount vernon and that name and badge number does not exist and than i check the address he gave me and it belongs to a animal shelter. Also the number he left for me on voicemail was [protected] but when they called me at first it was a unknown number and than the other time it would come up as 911. Which really threw me off! I reported them to social security and will be informing the BBB and what ever other place I need to let these people know we are on to them and to try and stop these people.

Something like this happened to me yesterday. Some person named Officer Shawn Matthew was calling me and leaving me voicemails saying that this was an urgent matter and that he has been trying to contact me but yet I never received and type of paperwork or phone calls from these people before until yesterday when the calls started happening. When I called the phone number he left for me [protected] a guy answered with a heavy Indian/ Middle Eastern Accent and his name was Danieal Wilson. He asked me who was calling and I answered and then he goes on to tell me that I owe $500 to Cash Advance. I never took out a payday loan from cash advance before but I did take one out from another company but I paid them off awhile ago. He told me in order for this not to go to court that I would need to repay the $500 and to do that I would need to send him a letter stating that I wanted to clear up this matter outside court and all of my credit card information on it and then on top of that send a copy of my drivers license with it. They wanted all these documents faxed to them at [protected]. I knew then something was up and I told him that I would call him back. I called every one of those payday loans that I ever borrowed from to make sure they were paid in full and they were. I owed no money to any of them. So I called this guy back when I start to tell this Danial guy this and we start to go back and forth he started to raise his voice at me and that I would need to call a Jack Wood at some Attorneys office and that number was [protected]. When I called that number it sounded like the same exact guy! I was like I just talked to you and he was like no u didnt. We argued back and forth until I hung up. I then got online and found all of these responses to the same exact thing that was happening to me. So I called the guy back again and said I wanted proof of this loan and he said that I would receive these documents after I paid the money. I then asked for his address and he wouldnt give me one. I told him that this was a scam and that I was going to report them to the FBI and the FTC and then he said to me that he wishes me luck in court and he hangs up on me. I reported these people to the FTC and to the state attorneys office. BEWARE of these people they are big fat SCAMMERS!

i received a call today from a Harrison Law Firm, stating that the had an affidaviat charging me with check fraud, theft by deception and some other charge I couldn't understand. The guys name was Eric Watson, and I was given a number of [protected]. I have taken out payday advances, and I only owe two companies, and this is not one of them. When I told him this, he kept saying that US Cash Advance has different companies that provide money. After his call, I googled the company, and landed here with these complaints. And, he called me on my job. One thing I do know is that once you complete one online application, everyone has your information. My email became loaded with offers as soon as I completed the application.

To
"oh my gosh" the same thing happened to me today! Harrison Law Firm, and a " Sean Taylor" and "Eric Watson" called me. "Eric" transferred the call to "Sean" who was the Senior Supervisor. It was said that I owe some payday loan for like $300 but I couldnt remember if i did. However, i did know that I took care of a Pay Day loan a year ago and have ALL of the documentation to prove it has been paid off. The threat was that I would have to pay something like $8, 000 in fees not including court and etc and that a police officer will show up at my employment. It was strange because he did call me on my job, but when i told him "LETS TAKE IT TO COURT" then he hit me with well may God bless you, and hung up. the number is the same still [protected].. when i called back said it was suspended/disconnected. This happened about 5 months ago from another (or maybe) same middle /eastern ring/group. The scary part is that they read me back my Social security number. Please be away guys!1

Next time anyone gets one of these calls inform the caller that due to the fact they are using VOIP (Internet phone) both the caller and the company are subject to US Wire Fraud laws which are significantly more harsh that other trade laws. The caller himself can be brought up on charges.

I too just got a call from that same [protected] number. Same name and everything. Scared me half to death being that I had been a victim of internet fraud some years ago. Thanks for much for these postings!

Since I had called my lawyer and went to my local police dept.I haven't got a phone call since but when they called a guy name Officer Craig Floyd had threating to put me in jail over a loan that I was suppose to take out but I never took a loan out in my life.He went as far as calling my Husband at work telling him that he was going to put me in jail.My husband's boss was getting really mad at him over these calls and was about to fire my hubby over it .SO I did my research on the number and it came out to be a scam .This guy know everything personal about me and it had me afraid of things because It happening before to me, somebody got ahold of my SSN and got in to trouble with the law instead of giving their name, ssn, birthday and etc, they give mine so I had to go to courts getting everything taking off of my name

I am so mad, I received a complaint from a guy with an Indian accent and he claimed there was a lawsuit with my social security number attached to it and when I asked him questions he would yell, I told him this was a scam and I was calling the FBI and he yelled louder, then he started calling my job saying he was going to get me fired, and he called from different phones because the calls were pouring in on my inside lines at my job, I advised my supervisor and also the police officer at my job and we are waiting for him to call back, he even went as far as to call me a criminal. I am so pissed because you should be able to protect yourself against these scammers. He said I owed him money for a payday loan I received but did not pay, he is a liar!

i recieved a call today at my job claiming U.S.cash advance paid my checking account 1500.00 cash payday loan back in oct 2010 the man calling himself mr freeman was quite rude claiming to be an investagiting law agent for this company he said i needed to make a payment immediatly or i would be arrested - first i never applyed for a loan or ever received one i called my bank to verify they said no deposit of that size was ever made to my account when i called the number on my caller i-d a man answered with a american voice saying hello no bussiness name when iasked for mr freeman the voice changed to a forien one i asked for thier clients number answer was private info and could not be given these people are scamming honest people for thier hard earned money please beware and never put private info online ps if you are reading this MR FREEMAN THIS ISNT OVER YET I WILL FIND YOU remember its not what you know its WHO YOU KNOW.

I just recived a call from these people who claimed that they where with the Federal Crime Dept. and where a Federal company and that I didn't pay back a payday loan (which I didn't recive) and they read all my info to me (My work Social Seciruty number) and said that I was going to jail if I didn't pay back the money I borrowed which was 786.03. I pretended to be concerned and told them I would wire them money western union and he said that he could only do debit or credit, yeah right. I don't know why these people are still able to do this to people and it makes me so mad to think that people actually fall for this load of crap. These are losers from the middle East are trying to rip you off. DON"T FALL FOR IT! The number I got the call from was [protected] and I have called it back and it is just 2 men that I have spoke to and I can't get them to give me any info. BEWARE! I will be calling to report this but I guess nothing happens cause it has been going on for a long time now.

OMG THANK YOU GUYS I WAS NEAR TEARS! I kept getting these calls that i was going to be sued and i was gonna have to pay their court fees. They had all my info including social but i didn't remember the loan and they wouldn't give me info. Just kept saying they emailed me 41 times though i didn't get an email.

GLAD I FOUND YOU GUYS

An Indian/Fiiji accent ( never someone w/out accent) called and left several messages w/my mom and work. Then one tme they had asked my mom why I was always at work and never returning there phonse calls? ( eash time they called Indian accent w/ Name John Smith or Mark Anderson, Frank Anderson) My mo actuallygotten into an argueent with them. i have had collectors call me before but never question the person who answers or takes te message. NEVER had a bill collector argue w/ my mom. So I finally called this [protected] or [protected] and Indian accent picked up verifed my social security nber and were I worked. Then proceeded to tell me that I had taken out a cash loan and needed to pay 1000 today or I will be reported to Sheriff's dept and court issed a warrant and arrested at work. ( mind you I have never received a legal docment in email or mail) I ask hi if he was serious and what can I do to get myself out of this ? He then told me I had to come up with 500 today and then 500 the next day If I dont I wold be arrested at work! He told me that If i didnt have the money to ask for a friend or family who can lend me the money, then disconnected the call. He then calls me back w. the 916 # and says I have 1 hour to come up with the money. He calls me back 2 hours laters, identifyig himself as Mark Anderson and I ask to speak w/ a supervisor or get a supervisors name and he would give me one and asked why? I asked for an account # and he could not provide me. I then informed him that he was harrassing y family memebers and threatening them and he informed me to not make false accusation. I asked for legal docmentation and then he tells that I will be served w/ paper at work and arrested the next day and will lose my job and hangs up the phone.
I tried calling the numbers that called me above today(same day I got the threats ) and the 916 is disconnected.
I am definitely going to report this.I am not going to let them get away with this.
please make sure you ask a lot of questions and for reference and account info.
I have had credit collectors call me before but never ask to have friends/family help me pay. Only take credit card .HARRASSING me like this before. The credit card collectors have always sent me something in mail several times and offer me settlements. GO TO JAIL FOR 1000! Please ! Gave me n options but to pay today and that was it?But if you are guillible enough you wold fall for it. I almost did until i spoke w/ my coworkers and looked online and AM so glad I found this.
I ca'nt believe people can do this to people who like me who wrk so hard and go to bed knowing that they have frightened me and caused me great anxiety. I almost wish thery can be pnihed and gone go to jail for threatening to arrest me in front of my job?What about sendgin e sme legal documentations and information to back this allegations that are being ade to humilatee and threaten to lose my job, my only income?
I will take matters into legal docuenting when these scam artist are threatening e at work and my job. Argeuing with my mother who answer my home numbers. THIS NEEDS TO STOP.
PLS B CAREFL WITH YOU PERSONAL INFORMATION.
BEWARE.

OMG! I am so realieved to hear this is a scam! My case started when I was waiting to hear from Apple. A phone number I didnt recognize came up so i answered. And it was this guy! I just woke up so i really freaked out. Then i remembered that i had never taken a cash advance (he said it was from US Cash Advance). I hoped then i t was a scam; i asked for some proper papers and they never came. ( that was october).

Then later ( about a month) i got a call. traced it to the bronx. the first was from area code 502 i think. he said he was with some crime bureau. i kept thinking that such a bureau would never outsource calls or hire people who cant speak english.

now yesterday he started again. wishing me good luck and a blessed day. he said his name was steve jones. but he paused before and after his name, like a machine.

but now i'm glad i know for sure this is a scam. and where to report it!

thanks for your help everyone! lets get these guys!
