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.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
i too keep recieving these calls. I want to file a complaint or even more a warranty against them! This infuriates me! the people who are calling me have a thick middle eastern accent too. They have some bogus standard name like john martin. I just wonder how they have gotten as much information as they have. I hope no one is so uninformed that they would actually give these people anymore information. I did speak with my lawyer and he said to disreguard the calls. The police said that if it were legit that there would be something served to me by a sheriff. They said they are getting calls daily from elderly people getting the same calls. This is so harrassment but what can we do about it.
I am so glad i found this website, i too am a victim of these scammers, getting harrassing calls on my cell phone, now they are calling my job, a man nmae STEVEN YOLKS, phone number [protected] claims he is calling from Hopkins law firm and that i took out a loan with cash advance for $300, now thats a lie! Had all my information, home address, work number and where i worked at, I knew from the beginning that he was lying, just BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY to these people, they are foreginers with heavy accent who leaves threating messages for lawsuits and or arrest at home or work!
I got a phone call at work from a guy with a very thick indian accent, saying he was from a law firm and that he was to advise me that I was vbeing served with an arrest warrant for fraud, because of some payday loan, they were going to arrest me and it would cost me 5, 000.00 dollars to get out of jail. I asked who was filing charges on me and he said it was US Cash.Ianted to speak to his supervisor, he said they did not have one only an attorney, I said ok let me speak to them. He said he could not but he would let me speak to someone else but I was not to ask them any questions and I was to be extremely nice. By this time I was racking my brain, I had never had a payday loan and didnt understand what was going, again I was at work and this was starting to worry me. He transfered me and the lady said I could either set up payment becuase I had never been in trouble before or they could just come arrest me and I could see a judge, I tried to ask questions and she got very hateful, so I said there is no way this is mine and they could just arrest me. I hung up on her and thought about it for about an hour, then I thought tis has to be scam, because I had never had a payday loan. So I called the number back and asked for the number to US Cash advance and they would not give it to me. So I hung up and called right back and got a different person and asked if I could speak to someone from Armerica. Then I got hung up on. I didnt aprreciate being scared like that at work, now I am jsut angry about this and that they can do this to people. I wonder how many people just pay because they are so scared. This is ludicrious!
I've been receiving these calls fot the past 6 mos. Evry mo it's a new person with a new company saying the same thing "I owe the $" They always say they are investigator's and that I took out a payday for $425 on 5/20/10 which now has become $700 and on 4/26/08 of $350 which is $900 from all the fees these so-called loans have collected. One of the dates they gave me was 3 yrs ago at the same time i gave birth to my son. Iv'e gotten a copy of my credit report, and nowhere on there does it have the negative charges. I want these ### caught cause there are so many people out there who have given their $ away because they are scared of the threats, but they picked the worng b**** to mess with.
All Americans should know that threatenning anyone with arrest for a DEBT is committing a crime--there is NO DEBTORS PRISON! Turn the tables on them!
Today, as well I was almost victim of a scam, I was first left a very nasty message from "john" to call him and failure to do so will result in further legal actions. It was very hard to make out the entire message, but I got the number [protected]. my called ID however had 0901 which I have been told is from India. When I called some guy read this statement to me and I was told I would be arrested and the media would be call and they would make an example out of me. ADVANCE AMERICA CASH ADVANCE. i have never taken a pay day loan, but they kept asking me for my attorney's name and number, they never asked me for money since I kept asking him to repeat himself because of his very heavy accent. he was horrible and very nasty to me, he then hang up and the "attorney" Brad Smith call me and kept asking me for attorney info. They did say I would have to go to court and pay over $5000 for some loan I never took. I called the FTC and place alerts on my SS#. it is disturbing because I was told all conversation was being recorded and they did have my employer's name, SS# and e-mail. their is nothing I can do..maybe next time I should just say "I'm an attorney"...horrible people!
I also got a call yesterday from "Kevine Jones" claming to be from LLC Law Office, I was given a call back number [protected]. The towel head I had on the phone told me I was being charged with 3 county Fruad, theaft of Service and Violation of Federal Banking Laws. I was also told that the media would be notified, when I requested an Index/Docket Number I was told a Certified letter would be sent to me.These people think I'm an ### and can be intemidated. WRONG. DON'T FALL FOR IT - IT'S A SCAM
You might contact the NY state Police, they operate out of the Bronx, and claim to be agents of the state police. I can give you more details if you need.

I get a lot of that too. These people who speak with a thick Indian/Middle Eastern accents using Latino and American last name to SCAM people out of there hard earn money over some bogus payday loan over the internet.
First a woman called my mom and left a message that they a lawyer looking for me to settle a cash advance loan from 2008. If I dont contact them that on October 6th I have a court date for felony charge of fraud of writing bad checks. I called the number [protected]. They explain they are just a company to collect a debit. That I took a loan out in 2008 and they have my id, ss#, checking info, address, a voided check, and signed contract. The guy would not tell me the amount of loan, but can make payment arrangments for only 60 to 90 days for settle of 1200. Or pay off today for 900, oo through a master or visa card. If i dont have it I can get a third party to pay. Then asked if I am married to ask for my husbands income info.. He then threated me that it will cost me 2100 dollars after court cost and face time in jail. He didnt know what Ohio's law are for felony check complaints, but I face more charges and jail time. He said on October 6 someone will be in Toledo Mucipal courts and fill charges. I told him I will just contact a lawyer and he said I wont do me no good. He has had many cases like these and he has won his money. So I said dont care and hung up.

These same people have been calling me relentlessly at home and at work, the man that calls says his name is "patrick thompson", he is calling my work place 10-20 times a day, cursing and harassing my co-workers. all that we have been able to find out is the "540" number that they are calling from is owned by YMAX communications the owner of magic jack...i have complained to YMAX several times about this but nothing has been done. as stated before they are middle eastern decent...it has gone so far as to my co-workers are telling them that i got fired and i am having to answer the phones at work using a different name...
I have the same experience, just recently, this people had been calling me and calling at my place of work. they told me that I took a loan from US Cash Advance, that I haven't made a payment since I took the loan, they told me that they representing this company, and they are from the legal office, I ask them when did I took the loan, and how much, but they cannot provide me any date, and the amount that I borrowed from this company, they were demanding for the payment to be sent to them of the amount of $ 699.00 at first, then the next day it went up to $799.00. They told me that I need to pay it otherwise I will be taken to court or I would go to jail if I do not resolved this issue right away with them. They also told me that I took the loan through internet, so I went to my bank, and got a copy of my statement to see if there is any money that were deposited to my account from this company, and there none. they were harassing me everyday and they even call my friend. I have save several of their messages, threatning me. They also told me to fax my drivers license number and other information, what scares me the most is they know my social security number and my address.I could not hardly understand them, it seems that they are from India because of their accent. I even went to police station, and have one of the police talk to them, but when our local talk to this person, this person was demanding to talk to me. This people gave me a fax number to where I could send my information [protected]), and the phone number where they were they calling from: [protected], [protected], they even provided me an employee # of their supervisor Jack Thomas # 110085, this is what the employee number that this person provided to the police, there were several of them calling me constantly and leaving to my phone (George Taylor, Ron Branson, and Jack Daniels). I just receive a phone from Jack Daniel just this week telling me to call him immediately. This people even threaten me, that if I don't pay, they will call my manager and get me fired, that I'm going to jail, I receive all kinds of threats from this people. I also demanded to send me a document stating that I owe this company money, but they refused, they told me that if they sent me the document, that I might try to deny that I owe USA Cash Advance some money.
my husband and i get a phonecall today from aguy who had the sameaccentthrenting to sue us they say they are from usa cash advance they were going to sue us for 300 we know it is a scam becouse we never the money
This is a scam! Thank goodness for you guys and your posts. I just got a call today that I owed money (300.00) and that I was going to be charged with fraud. They couldn't verify the amount of money I recieved, when it happened, nor could he tell me the name of the company that "gave me the loan". He told me to have my criminal attorney contact them in 30 min. Once I got over the shock, I asked "Jack Thomas" (with his indian accent), why would I go to criminal court if this is a dispute regarding money, they can take me to small claims or civil court. He began to ask me to forward my bank statements to him proving that I did not get the loan. They had my bank information, my social security number, my email address! This is scarry! I immediately put an alert out for my social security number through equifax. Thanks for posting guys!
I got a call that I listened to, today. I have been getting calls, but will hang up, because one waits two or three minutes before they start talking to you. I am being sued $5, 000.00 for not paying back a $300.00 ;pam that I never got August, 2011! I told them to go ahead, and put me in jail. They won't ever get any money from me, being a low income senior citizen. Anyway was so glad to find this site, and find that I probably will go on getting calls & being bugged for the rest of my life.
Again while I was reading the letters here at this website, I get another call trying to scam me out of money. So I got a name of the guy who I talked too, also got the name of the company, plus an address and a phone number.
Ok the name of the company is US PAY DAY LOAN. Address is: 25 NE Avenue: Seattle, Wa. 98101. Phone number is: [protected]. I turned down their loan because I wasn't taking the $1500. they wanted me to take, If I took less then I had to go to the WESTERN UNION to collect it. But wouldn't be able to get it untill I called Jason as he said he was, and then he would tell me how to get it. Now tell me why all the messing around. And I am tired of getting calls from some one who can't talk decent English.
i did not take out a loan with this company and i am sure the guy i talk to name is smith he can barely speak english i am also send this to the better business for the horassment he has put me through mt next stop is to fill a complaint with the police department,
I ha, ve gotten calls from a middel eastern man who is telling me my information has been stolen and someone is using it and that I need to get a lawyer, but he wont give out any more info than that and the company is us cash advance, I never recieved any money from them and I never signed anything, something has to be done about theses crooked people who prey on hard working people, who are just trying to get by .
After seeing all the complaints about this, maby we should take this to channel 10 to there investigator's, and see what they find, if we all do it as a group, maby we can stop this, anyone have any thoughts?
I have been getting the same calls, they called my sister, my place of employment harassing everyone and i never took out a loan for $235 with this company. I have asked for proof of this loan and they state they cannot provide it since it went to collections. They are threatening to come and arrest me. How can I stop there calls and every time they call its a different common name such as Smith, Brown, etc. How can a Middle Eastern accent person have such a common name? Any suggestions on how to stop them from calling would be greatly appreciated.
hi ive been receiveing the same message i never recieved a cash advance and they keep telling me it was deposited into my checking account wrong my bank statements dont show no kind of depositsfrom them what should i do bout this
The same thing happened to me today at my job. I called this Tom Atkinson back on my lunch brake and he told me that i have to take care of it by Friday our i will be taking to court and be locked up. The number that he called me from [protected] ext 1177 with the number AF651977. I told him that i didn't take out any loan with the Us cash advance. He would not give me anything to go on but that it was in my account sometime in 2011. Said that it was 325 but if i wanted to take care of it today than he could get it down to 275 he also said that i have til Friday the 17 to take care of it.
John Bennett my name is Rosie Aiwerioghene I got a call from a guy name Eric .He said I got a loan from ypur company stated I owe you $785.35. I don"t remember getting a loan from your company. He said he couldn"t give me any details on the matter. He told me I had to pay the money today. I would really like for you to contact me .PLEASE Rosie Aiwerioghene
Hey all. I got my first call last week. I will be honest...there was a period in my life when I did use payday loans so this concerned me a bit at first...but I knew something was suspect on this as they told me that I needed to get a prepaid Visa card and call them back. NO DEBT COLLECTOR WILL (AND MORE IMPORTANTLY) CANNOT REQUEST THIS OF YOU. I know this because I work in debt collection. If you get these calls, you need to ask for a copy of the Fair Debt Letter that was (and should have) been sent to you as well as a copy of the original debt date, etc. I called the FBI as I was told this organization was NOT part of the FBI and I was told that that office would NEVER contact me by phone or email for debt collection. I was also told that I was the third person today to call that field office with this inquiry/complaint.
Once I had that confirmation, I called back and went through about an hour of abuse against me and my non-existent children. Once they realized I had no intention of paying them, they hung up on me. I continued to call back over and over and over demanding that they remove me from their list. After about four hours of calling, etc. I finally got the guy to admit that they were not real and that they would not contact me any more (apparently, using their prepaid phone card and cell phone minutes isn't too popular). The names I received from these obviously non-American individuals were: John Carroll, Jon Torre, Scott Johnson and Greg Slade.
One last note: at one point, I was told the police would be calling me because of my incessant phone calls back and "harassment". When I got another call, I was informed it was "a police cop" (true story) and that Scott Johnson was dead from a heart attack because of my incessant phone calls and that I was now going to be arrested for murder.
Do not let these people fool you and NO MATTER WHAT...do not send them money. Call the FBI and complain and the call back over and over and over until they tell you they won't contact you any more. The number I used was [protected].
Feel free to use it as much as you like. =)
my calls started todayFeb.27, 20012 from [protected].this person had my information how i don't know.his mo was the same.
I looked into this as well because they called my cell phone # and my work # and left messages on both phones. This was from an 877 #. They had my SSN! The accent was thick Middle Eastern as well and said that I should have been contacted by the police with a warrant for my arrest. I asked him which agency he was with and he said the "Legal Department at US Cash". I've never even heard of US Cash. I think somehow if you've EVER gotten a payday loan at any time your information is available! Scary! I told him to come get me #()@*($, at this he hung up! I checked with the BBB and it says that the only time I can file a complaint with the FCC is if the caller became verbally abusive! Don't you think threatening to drag me into court is threatening? I'm filing a complain anyways!
how do i get these people to stop calling me and threading me about money that i was suppose to have received i have never received any money from anyone and i dont think it is fair that they r calling me and saying that i am going to jail when i know that i have not did anything wrong
I am a victim of these so-called "Financial Infarction Department" from US Cash Advance. I first received a message on my work answering machine on 3/13/2012 from a middle eastern sounding male stating his name as "Rob Miller" on his message, he states that I were to have my retained attorney, "off record" call him back or else all he could do was wish me luck as the events unfolded. He was very threatening. He left [protected] as his call back number. My manager was quite worried by the content of the message which we have saved and why I was being taken to court. I consulted with a relative who is a lawyer & she would look into it. The next day, I received several more calls from the same number, but didn't answer because I wanted to hear from my relative. The same type of message was left on my mobile voice mail, only this time, the name of the person (who sounded exactly the same as "Rob Miller") was Curtis Jackson. He said he had my SSN #! He didn't leave any company name and sounded like he was reading what he was saying. Again, person sounded like he was of middle eastern decent. I then received several calls from [protected]. This time, the caller identifies himself as Erick Peterson calling from Financial Infarction Dept regarding a loan I took out with US CASH ADVANCE. I didn't recall taking out any loan from this company. This Erick Peterson sounded exactly like the other two callers! This was the most bizarre calls I've ever had! I called the 718 number back & spoke with a Scott Wilson (Middle Eastern Accent). Right off the bat, he asks me for my retaining attorney''s name off record & their I.D. or something. I said before anything, I asked what company is he from. I don't know why they keep saying off record. He said I was to remain silent while he explains everything and I could ask questions after. He then began to state my name, SSN #, home address, DL #, DOB, AND my bank routing number! He said he was representing his client, US CASH ADVANCE whom I went on-line and took out a loan with! I was quite baffled, scared that he had all my personal info, and angry, and violated! I told him I didn't take out any loans with US Cash Advance. He said I took out $322.40 and I needed to pay $500 something that included interests and fees. If I didn't pay, I would have to pay over $5000 for court, lawyer, and loan fees! He asked me why I didn't pay them back & IO said I never took out any loan from them. He told me I had 3 counts or charges against me which was Theft, Fraud, and Felony! I was in such shock! I told him to give me my case #, which he gave me one and probably just made up. Then I asked him for the date of the cash advance and he put me on hold, came back and said, " first week of August last year." I asked, "first week of August 2011?! You can't give me an exact date?" He repeated the same thing, "first week of August last year." I was very upset! I told him my lawyer would definitely be contacting them & I wanted copies of the signed documents of the loan I took out and all the other paperwork regarding this matter. He said he would mail them out to me in 5-10 days. I then hung up. I contacted a lawyer as well as the Walnut Creek Police Department to report these people. I am filing a report online with the police department so that they have a record of this situation since these people have all of my personal information. I have also contacted my bank to report it. I called the 718 number again the following day on 3/16/2012 because I received another missed call from them. By the way, they blew up my phone during the previous days calling my mobile phone consistently. Some were 6 calls in a row from the same number! So on 3/16/12, I asked to speak with Scott Wilson & he said he was that person. I then asked to speak to Erick Peterson but he hesitated to transfer me & said that he was handling my case & Erick wasn't available. I told him I was just speaking to him a second ago & I wanted to speak with him now. He places me on hold, i can hear him covering the phone. Someone comes back on who sounds the same but trying real hard to change his voice & states he is Erick Peterson and that some compliance monitoring manager is on the phone to listen in. I asked for the name of that person and gives me another American sounding name which I have written down. I demanded to speak with that person. Erick became agitated telling me they are trying to take care of this case, but I still insisted to speak to that monitoring person. He supposedly transfers me and Low and behold! They all sound the same! I told him that and asked why they all sounded the same and that are they are probably one person who is trying to scam money! He defended himself and I asked again for the date of my loan and this time he tells me it's from February 3, 2012! I told him, "That's funny! You told me yesterday its from first week of August last year!" He then said, As I told you ma'am, we will send you paperwork within 7 days and we will straighten this date out." I didn't speak to this monitoring officer or whatever his title is yesterday so why would he say he told me about sending me paperwork yesterday?! I told him I have reported them to the police and next is the FBI. He then said he would put my case/file as NDC...then hung up! WTH?! I went online to check out US CASH ADVANCE and ran into this site. I must say that I am slightly slightly I don't even have the right word, but to see that I am not the only victim of this scam. I feel so violated and uneasy knowing that someone has my personal information and how they got a hold of it is just simply appalling! I am going to the proper authorities and pray that these people be reprimanded...
-very concerned victim
I just got a call from866-878-2551 stating I had taken a payday loan out for 1, 989.00. Sandra called left me a message and called back the 888 number above and spoke to a Nathan. They stated they were from the Department of criminal Investigation and I needed a lawyer. If I go to court they would have me pay 14, 000 in legal fees plus whatever he had stated. I have NEVER taken a pay loan out from the Internet. They could take the 1989.00 out of a checking account number I would provide them. Are you kicking me, no proof of papers, internet contract, nothing. How did they get all my information? The man and woman had the same accent as stated above making it difficult to understand. They said legal action would be taken and my employer would be notified. The man also stated they were from Brooklyn New York. I immediately started looking on the web-site and found this web-site. This is just so awful that someone can do this to another person. I feel sick.
We have list received a letter with Canada post mark with a check enclosed for $ 4, 687.08 Stating this was a part payment for a pay out of $ 750, 000. Check had names of Worby, Groner, Edelman & Napoli Bern LLP. First Responders attorney Master Escrow Account. Check was made out to me with my address. Drawen on a bank Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas 280 Park Ave. New York NY. 10017. Really looks like the real thing. The letter attached was from APEX Funding Corp. Toronto Canada.
Winning Notification Funds Enclosed> Still looks good. reading down the page it states "if this check is cashed without proper notification and procedures, you will be held liable in the amount of the check and any total winnings will be declared void. Now I see this is a way to make me pay in real money $ 4, 678.08 to someone who will be named in my law suite. Reading more they say I must send payment to one of the receiving brokers for non resident Tax payment. it goes on giving me the amount of the Taxed. $2, 225.00 if the payment came Western Union and $2, 113.00 for the Money Gram. Someplace down the line I would have to pay over $ 2, 000. Watch OUT this all looks too real and they have gone to a lot of expanse to make this Scam look real.

Oh my goodness, I had a similar call on Friday the 13, A man with a east Indian accent called and leave me a message stating that It was an urgent legal matter, so I called him back he knew all about me and I got rely confused. He said that the sheriffs would be at my door to arrest me within the hour. I told him that I had herd of scams like this before and he just dismissed my concern. I then told him that I would pay I just needed time to get the money ( I lied) and he said that he could give me one hour. He gave me instructions to get a green dot refill pack with the amount owed and then call him back. I told him that I might have my attorney call and check on this, he ignored me again. I hung up and called my attorney he immediately called them and they hung up on him. They called me back and said that I was trying to mess with them, saying I had my dad call them saying that he was an attorney, also attorneys don't call from private #s. My attorney called in on the other line so I told them that it was my mom calling me back to give me the money he said that he did not want my money and that they were going to go forward with the arrest and prosecution. My attorney did a reverse look up and found out that they were based in LA and that it was a private residence, the phone number was listed under John Smith. My attorney advised me to not take any more phone calls from that number. They called back later that day and my assistant answered I had left for the weekend, They preceded to threaten him accusing him of hiding me he hung up on them. I have at this point officially given my attorney permission to investigate and prosecute them for any thing that he can come up with on them. They claimed to be with Cash Advance, he told me his name was Keven Peterson and he called from [protected] and then gave me this number to call him back on [protected], I supposedly owed 300$ and I needed to pay back 799.99$. They claimed to be charging me with violating federal banking codes and wire fraud along with many other things. When I find out more from my attorney I will let you all know.
I just received an harrasing phone call from a indian accent man. He threatened that he was going to call my job for a loan that i never made and demanded me to pay the money or else. (legal matter) I told him i was not aware of any loans from this company known as "us cash advance" he then begin to be very rude, asking me " so are you going to pay it or consult an attorney" I told him that this must be a mistake and hung up on him. I dont know who to talk to about this situation. I am sick of this number constantly harrasing me.
I too have been a victim. They had all my information & gave me case numbers. Two different ones mind you, b/c I called them back to ask more questions & was given a different case number . Once they heard I was typing all the information they was giving me they hung up. I called back & kept getting hung up on. They called me from [protected] & [protected]. Claims they are Attorney from Dispute Resolution Center. They couldn't tell me a date said it probably was in the last 3 yrs. Oh but that was a big no no told them that wasn't possible. The more the guy talked the more I thought about how they was a scam. Went from saying the Sheriff office would be issuing me a subpoena to they have a warrant for my arrest to they can stop all of this if I pay now. I told them to fax the info they have where I owe b/c I know I did not borrow from them. Blah blah blah. I called the police! Police agreed it sound like a scam.
I have read through the comments and have had such similar things happen. I have never taken out a loan through "US cash advance" but they somehow got a hold of me claiming that I owe them $400 and if I do not pay them they will have me arrested. Every time I tried to figure out how I owed them $400 "Johnnie Foster" would say that he will send me paper work after I pay him. And every time I asked to speak to someone else he would pause for a few minutes and pretend to be someone else. The conversation would just continue this way for awhile and then all of a sudden he started threatening to come to my house if I don't pay him the money. He called me a "###" and said "do you want me to come to your house and go into your bedroom?" It was very creepy. Anyways, it's a scam.
I had the same problem with them they kept saying that they owe money on a loan or some kind of credit card that i didn't have they said that i owe them 3000.00 dollars but I didn't! they said they have the police to come after me if I don't pay by 3:00pm today! then I called the police on them and the FBI so they are going to investigate them! when they call I won't answer the phone! until they stop harassing me! sign, V D
My husband recieved a call today from this so called us cash advantage, and they proceeded to tell him that he owed on a loan that we took out 3 months ago. They also said they were gonna send out an officer of the law to have him arrested. He was scared and so was I but we knew we hadn't taken out this loan. I hate scammers that want to take hard working peoples money! Will report to the FTC!
Dirty ###!
