In have had calls from a Roy Miller on March 22, 2012 and still continuing. He says he is from a law firm. That there was a judgement on me for three counts. I had no idea what he was talking about. asked what it was for he said it was a loan for 4000 dollars I had never applied for a loan. He gave me a case number I didnt know what to do. I went and talk to my grandparents they also ask questions. My grandparents have been through some legal stuff before and it seemed legit. They read of my social security number, my address, phone number, my checking account and savings account number also the routing number for them, They have where I work and the number for them. They said if i pay 436.45 the judgement will drop. My grandparents told me ok it sounds like it is legit. so I did it. That was all the money me and my kids had to live on for two weeks. I started to call around about my personal information being stolen. I didn't get anywhere yesterday. I have been getting the run around. Today I called the police department and they came and explained what was going on he said it sounded like a scam. He tried to call them and they didnt answer for him. After he left I called that Roy and they did answer. I asked him for the address and for his manager he gave me his manager and I tried to get more information. I then had the police back at my house and i called the number again and the officer talked to them.
How are we as Americans suppose to have our freedom when we are getting scamed and tricked by people who don't respect how we are hard working people earning our living I have three kids also going to school fulltime plus working full time. I am scared everytime I go to the store and use my cards. I can't believe anyone would still from kids. That money they got was the only money that me and my kids have for two weeks and now I got none. These people need to be stopped. I shouldn't have to live every day haveing to look over my shoulder and worry for my safety and the safety of my children. At least fo something for the personal information that they have.

The same thing happen to me today. I was realy scared because the guy knew all mu personal info. He demanded me to pay now or they will file a judement and the cops will come and arrest me. I asked them to send me the proofs of such deposite and they said first I pay and then I get the docs. They keept threatening me to send me to crt. I told them I would call them back. Luckily me I work for a law firm. I asked the atty's and they said is a scam tell them is ok send me to court. First of all they cant file a judgement it would have to be small claims court. Also I have proofs that the deposite was never enter in my account. I reported to the 3 credit bareus and social security, I also file a police report. This guys have some nerves in making people pay for that. Its so sad that so many people fall for it and pay it. For a fact the police cannot arrest you for this and if they say they will take you to court let them. Pls dont agree to any info they have. I pray that they get cought there is a God up there and there future is not good. Money is not everything and sooner or later they will fall. This 2 guys because I asked to speak with someone else and they said is just 2 of them. Now a collection agency does nothave 2 people working. Im waiting on there call again even though Im a woman they will not intimidate me and they shouldnt to u as well. Sooner or later they will get fed up of calling. Also pls dont enter ur personal info in the web thats how they get all ur info. I have learned my lesson. God BLess everyone and hope that people can read this and they wont fall for this.

I received 2 calls saying that I took out a cash advance and didn't repay it. NOT TRUE! Never even took out a cash advance! They had all my info - SSN, Bank, previous employment. Scared me to death! I was told the same thing I have seen on here-I will be arrested, have to pay, etc. I was told that if I wanted to settle out of court, I would have to write an apology letter, pay immediately using my debit card and then I would receive all of the documentation that pertains to my "case." I called my attorney and filed a police report, they all said it was definitely a scam. I went to the Cash Advance website and it clearly states that this scam is taking place! I received another call a few minutes ago and told them that I had reported them and that what they are doing is fraudulent and then hung up. Two people have left messages on my voice mail (accents with American names) and said EXACTLY the same thing. It is definitely a script until you start asking questions. My question is did anything ever happen to anyone? Were you served with papers, taken to court, etc? The "law firms" that called me were American Law Services [protected]) and Law Group of CA [protected]). Thanks for all of this info! It has eased my mind!

OMG, I had the same thing happen to me this past week. It sounded as it they were talking to me on the road somewhere. You could here other voices in the background. Whats so bad about it is that they had my correct social, and other information. They did not use Cooper law, they used American Legal Services. I called the number back and they answered by saying "hello". This is so crazy. They were talking about cyber fraud, and that the line was recorded. They even had the nerves to put someone else on the phone that said that they was the attorney.

This has been happening to me for the past week or so. I was told that I took out a cash advance (which I have never done) and now I owe 8400.00. But I would be able to avoid legal action and long term jail time if I was able to give them my credit card number. I talked to 2 different people (1 male, 1 female) both of which refused to give me their name. They stated that my credit card would be charged every month but would not disclose an amount. I stated that I had never taken out a loan of any kind and could prove it through my bank records (they advised it was deposited directly into my bank account). When I started asking questions, very simple questions, about location and their address, the man started screaming at me. When I refused to set up a payment arrangement the female rep. got on the phone stating that I would be going to the "big house." I still refused. The male rep. got back on the phone and stated they would be making a home visit and taking their money "the hard way." I contacted my bank about the issue as well as putting a fraud alert on my social security number. I also reported it to they FBI Cyber Crime Division. I just think it's crazy that these people can do this and get away with it.

I received a call today from A lieutenant Michael Tipton stating that I needed to pay them 567$ for a cash advance that was unpaid in 2007 or legal action would be taken against me.(never used a cash advance then). I asked for proof of this allegation and he got very angry and said he didn't have to give me anything that he would just prosecute. I did some investigating and sure enough this is a SCAM! He has all of my info and is very persistant. I am going to report this to everyone that might matter in this! I am tired of people trying to scam innocent people!. I stressed out the who day and waisted time away from my children to deal with this nonsense!

I just recieved the very same phone call and they were very rude. They told me that they could not let common people like me speak directly to the attorney in charge. I was told that they would just go ahead and take me to court on fraud charges. I told him to go ahead and do that, he said that they have sent emails to my account asking for payment and that I did not need any further proof then what they have already sent out. Please be very carefully with these people make them give the info that they have on file do not give them back. I am going to wait and see if they do take me to court and I really hope they do because I have all of bank account statements to prove that I did not get any money.

I received a call yesterday from a company stating that I was going to be arrested due to no payment of a payday loan. I was informed by a woman name Samantha Jones (middle eastern accent) to fax in my id to [protected] and to call her so called direct line [protected]. I was frightened so I told her I would make payment arrangements but didn't provide any information nor did I fax anything in. She told me to fax a photo ID and put the money on a Visa prepaid card. I then had someone else call the number I had for Samantha and a man named Neal answered the line advising he is from American Law Division and that there was a claim for me for fraud. Neal advised this was due to non payment of an online payday loan with US Cash Advance. We informed Neal that we will contact US Cash Advance directly as we never took out a loan with the company and their claims are false. We then hung up the phone. I have not received any further calls. We will have to wait and see what happens tomorrow.

They are using magic jack! or even google voice, both of these systems you can call from a different number every time and when you call back there is no way to trace it. My fiance just got the call yesterday and he gave them his account info, i asked him why he gave them his info if he had never borrowed from that company and if they couldn't give him any info, he said because they threatened to have him arrested for fraud and theft. Since then he has closed all his accounts and opened up new ones! Now we have to play damage control. :-/ These scammers got me messed up. This is why men need to consult with their better half first and they wouldn't end up in such ###ery! I am a credit builder and if you dont know the laws and practices of debt collectors you may be pressured into giving in to these people. but trust, they have no real merit and you are good. They are breaking all kinds of laws and I pray they get caught.

On Tuesday 3/22/2011, I recieved a call from a Sean Clark stating that was a lawyer from the law firm of Stone and Roberts and that his firm was representing us cash advance. He stated that there was law suit against me for a unpaid loan in the amount of $712.00. I had two options to settle this debt either by paying $490.00 by April 22, 2011 by way of a walmart debit or going to court where I might have to pay $712.oo to $8, 000.oo. He wanted my lawyer to contact contact him. Things didnot sound right, so I ask for information that he would not give. I was given this number [protected] to us cash advance, I spoke with a man stating that he had been trying to contact about this unpaid loan. I advise him that I was not aware of any loan from them, which he inform that this loan was taken in May 2010 and deposit into my checking account. When I disputed the loan he became very irrate and refer me back to Sean Clark. I call him back to dispute the loan he became very irrate also making threats a lawyer I dont think he is. To buy time and expose them for who they really are, I agree to April 22, 2011 deadline. I went online and google us cash advance where I found that there was a scam in play. Well at this point I was very very heated, so called Sean Clark on Wednesday 3/23/2011 to advise of the shrunk (scam). He attempted to hold his ground, but right is right and wrong is wrong, so Sean Clark was advise that if I ever meet him face to face he has a whole can of whip a... coming to him. He hung up the so I call back and back and back and back and back you get the message. Next us cash advance and did the same thing until they wouldnot answer the phone eventually sending all calls to voicemail. These people talk with Indian accent, there is always alot of people talking in the background, and what really takes the cake is the transfering of calls that a joke, which is really them handling the phone from person to person. Just remember their the joke and the people they are trying to scam are punch line in the head or gut.

Was called by an Officer Michelle Johnson, [protected], and then "transfered" to a Mr Johnson who said I recieved cash into an account. I stated there was no such loan and as described above an Indian accent became irate when I inquired to the validity. He kept saying I was interrupting when all I wanted for him to do was answer MY question first. This is scary because on the first message that was left for me, it sounded as if they had my SS# before the message was cut off and ended. He did have my address and asked that I confirm it. I explained to Mr Johnson that I had reason to believe I was a victim of identity theft and hung up. My blood was boiling after this call and I hope I don't recieve another. Thanks for the tips in regards to the reverse "harrasse call". With these economic times and the hardships people are facing these days it is sickening to think of people preying on others for their last dime. I wonder how these folks sleep at night if they even have a soul to begin with.

They bothered me for a time too. I called the police, argued with them, hung up on them and then I thought of a solution. I would do they same thing they are doing. The last time they called I said, Criminial Investigation, Fraud and Scam division, how may I direct your call. Have never bothered me again. I figured if they can lie, so can I. Try it it works. I even do this with telemarketers too. Have a great day and enjoy my tip.

I received the very same phone call today from a man claiming to be from Federal Bureau Investigations. I did have 3 cash advance loans in the recent past so I was nervous thinking maybe I missed a payment or something, while on the phone with this man I looked up my accounts and they were all paid, when I asked what company he was collecting for he told me, AFTER I paid them they would send me a letter with a receipt paid in full along with the company name. I was threatened with jail time, arrest warrants and a specific amount of 8, 000.00 in court fees, he said his name was Leo Fernandez, his phone number is [protected]. He spoke with a heavy accent. To double check everything I called my cash advance places to make sure I did NOT owe the money, they all said I was clear, and that there was a scam going on being investigated by the FBI. He sent me a form to fill out via email, the form did not have a company name or letter head on it, so I called the police. An officer came to my house and called the guy, told him to stop calling me, the guy told him by 4 pm they would receive a warrant to arrest me, the cop told him "ok go ahead and then I will arrest her" then he said "is this a scam?" and was hung up on. The officer told me "Ma'am, we don't arrest people for unpaid bills, if we did the jails would be over crowded, especially in today's economy." so I really am hoping this is a scam and I don't get arrested tonight LOL

I have been receiving harrassing phone calls for about a month saying that I owe a payday loan which I never received. They also have heavy middle-eastern accents and sometimes calls from an overseas number. The particular call today said they were from a law firm called Harper and Harper. They said that US Cash Advance had turned my name and social security number over for payment. They could not tell me how much I owed or when this "loan" was taken out. They just said that I could settle it for $415. They also said that I am being charged with check fraud, false information, and some other bull crap. I am a single mom of 3 children and am not stupid. I did not give them my information and they got angry. They threatened me with jail time and said I would loose my job. They have my ssn, home and work number, and place of business. They proceded to tell me that my case was going to court and I would hear from my local law enforcement. I asked them to show me proof or give me the phone number of the company that was accusing me of this and they had no information for me. They are harrassing me and I am sick of it. I am reporting them to the FBI tomorrow. -April from GA

I received a call from a Jeff Matthews and a frank Wilson from [protected] from Los Angeles, CA saying that I'm being sued by us cash advance yesterday at my work phone. I kept asking them to explain how I owe money and they said that my bank had denied the claim when they tried to getmoney out of the bank to repay my "loan" that I never had so now I owe over 2000$ to them supposedly. He then tried to get me to fax over my information to them but I insisted they send me the documents first and then he told me that he did, but after I told him I never got anything he told me that he will send it again and hung up. Next they call me on my cell and leave me a voicemail and call my job 2 minutes later asking me if I want to solve it with them or go to court and I told them imnot giving them anything until I see the documents. Then he proceeds to tell me that I will get it when I make the pay ment so I told him that my father works for the FBI and I was told by him to not give any info unless I see the papers first, which he then tells me that he doesn't have access to it and will call me back in 2 hours. I haven't received a call back so I hope they don't try and call me tomorrow or ever because this is just a waste of time. I also wrote to the Us cash advance and they don't even have me in their records. Thank god I did my research online !

I am going through the same with this so called company that gave me a payday loan in the amount of $356.00! They have being calling me from phone numbers that are in NewYork, Washington, and California! They have my social, the number to my work place as well as my cell number! Once listening to these people tell me if I dont make a payment over the phone soon I would be facing jail time. I went to my bank got my history and to a lawyer! I recieved a phone call from another person who I could barely understand what he was saying while I was speaking to the lawyer about this situation. When I informed the guy that I was sitting with my lawyer and we were on line looking at the US Cash Advance site and the scams they were doing to people and my lawyer wanted to speak to him for more information, he quickly told me that it was ok and they wouldnt call me anymore! Just that quick he hung the phone up! Wow! I hope to not ever have to go through this again! PEOPLE BEWARE!

As many others, I was also contacted at home and at work by someone telling me of a legal matter.
Steven Mark - [protected] - caller with a thick foreign accent and broken English
They said I was sued and if I did not take care of the matter, law officials would come to my work and home.
When I called the number to promptly try to clear up the matter, I was told I had defaulted on a pay day loan with their parent company US Cash Advance. They said I was being sued for 3 counts of criminal fraud and if I make a payment they could work a settlement. He could not give any details about the debt. He had my name, work and cell number, my ssn, email address and bank account. I had a pay day loan but had paid it back some time ago. He seemed to insist on a payment while I was on the phone claiming the court fees would total up over $3000. The case was going to court tomorrow and the only way to stop it was to make a payment right then. I told him I needed to confirm with my husband, but he didn't seem satisifed with that.
Since then, I researched the company, found out it is a SCAM and reported it to the FTC - [protected]. I have a fraud alert on my accounts thanks to Trans Union - [protected].

I will look for a place to post the wav file of the initial voice mail.

This is great sharing. I received a similar call as well, and this info prompted me to call FTC.
FTC took my fraud report and advised me to call the Credit Bureau Number [protected] for the fraud alert.
Another number to call is [protected], Consumer Protection Hotline, to report the frauding agency.
Also, dont forget to call your banks where you have an account in case it gets breached. Be safe and be careful.

I too have received calls from these people. They called my job today and harrassed not only me, but my coworkers and boss. I am so greatful to you all. I literally thought I was going crazy. I was second guessing myself becuz they have my personal info. Every time I called them out about the lack of info they were giving me, they got upset and very arguementitive. What professsional law firm or company does that? They kept calling back using "legal terms". It was crazy!

I recieved the following email today. Of course I reported it to all the reporting places. Do they think I'm going to just hand over my info like that? What stupid people they are. I have been dealing with this for the past several years. They used to call my daughter-in-laws grandmother, who I would never use as a reference. I told her how to look them up and report them as a scam. After she and I both told them we knew it was a scam they stopped calling her. This was several years ago. I don't think they have stopped calling me because I still get phone calls from every state in the union and no voice mails on any of them. I don't answer them because I figure if its legitimate business they will leave a message. Its funny how they all say I have to go to the court house of Texas and will be arrested. For one thing there are many court houses in Texas so which one are they talking about? Another thing is there is no way people get arrested any more for owing money, if that was the case the jails would be full of debtors and all the murderers and rapists would be walking free because there wouldn't be any room for them in jails. Don't fall for any of these idiots talk. They clearly don't know the law because they break it all the time, both the secular law and Gods laws, (thou shalt not steal).

Hello,

Greetings of the Day

Let me introduce myself. I am Senior Affidavit Processor Carole Williams from State Investigation Department. As we were trying to reach you since a couple of days regarding a very serious matter about a lawsuit filed on your name stating that you are doing some fraud and criminal activities.

I am really very sorry to say you that you are going to be legally prosecuted in the Court House within a days. Your SSN is put on hold by US Government, so before something goes wrong, I thought I shall call you and notify you about this matter, but as I was not able to reach you, I am sending you an Email. So please take a piece of paper and write down your case file SF49390 and second thing since it’s a legal matter you will be needed my help, so please write down my callback number is [protected] Ext 2003.

For the records your personal information including your Date of Birth, your SSN #, your DL #, your Bank Account number etc, is listed on the case file, but cannot disclosed to you until you reply me on this.

The Factual Basis for the complaints are as follows:-

1) You have ascertained an income advancement from US Cash Advance with your Bank Account Information as collateral for said advancement.
2) You also agreed to return the funds from the aforementioned income advancement as per contract.
3) As of today’s date the funds have yet to be returned and the collateral has proven to be null, that is to say, of no value.

At present, US Cash Advance is seeking either of the following remedies:-
1) All funds be returned as per terms of initial contract.
2) You might be proceeded against to the fullest extent permissible by current Federal Banking Law.

So, as I investigate your profile, I found you as a genuine person so it is my duty to help you out but for that I need some right answers from your side. Also want to know your intention. So you want to resolve this issue out of court, or you want to go to the court house.?

This was a final notification Email to you if you want to resolve the issue by paying out of Court Restitution Amount than you can do that, or do you want to face legal action? You have to give me a flat answer without any excuse.

Reply to me back on my phone number [protected] Ext 2003 or Email me.

Thank you

I am so glad that I found this! This just happened to me this morning. I got a phone call from "Violet Watson" who claimed that if I did return the call today the Colorado police would be notified and I would be arrested. Now, I do have some financial problems that I'm trying to clean up, but I wasn't expecting this. "Violet" informed me that she was with the Federal Claim Enforcement Network (which I Googled and no such company exists) and that I owed for a payday loan that I took out a year ago with One Click Cash Advance USA.Net. Huh? I asked for the specific month and date and she could not provide that information to me. She said the call was being recorded for future debt collection as well. A $300 loan that they claim I took out had escalated to owing $1500! WTF? They would only accept payment via a prepaid debit card or via Western Union. Red Flag #1000. Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to write down everything so that I could research on my own. What worries me is that they have all my contact information. I have NEVER accepted a payday loan from ANY company. I have applied, but never followed-through with accepting money. I'm not sure where to go from here -- do I report this to the police?

I just received a phone call at work! from [protected]. Someone with a heavy accent asked me to pay my loan I took from US Cash Advance. They wanted me to pay immediately because US Cash Advance filed a compliant against me. Incredible! I do not owe any money to US Cash Advance... Those people must be stopped!
