This is an e-mail I received the other day! Don't know who these peolpe are but they have been calling me SEVERAL times a day off of random numbers but leave no message. When I do answer and tell them to they have the wrong number and quit calling me before I call the police about harassment they hamg up! This is getting a little rediculous and I am tired of it! I wish someone could do soemthing about them.

    I just received the same e-mail Word for Word. I need to find out how they got my e-mail & why they are targeting all of us. this has happened in the past but in was a phone call. I went to a similar web site like this one but it is called: ( who called me ) or something like that & there were others talking about the same calls. You just put in the phone number from which they called & it shows all of the other complaints. Does anyone know where we can report this and they will actually do something about it, because i am sure they wouldn't keep doing this if it wasn't working on some people and those people are victims and these con men/thief's need to be stopped. It's probably funding terrorist activities or Drug smuggling. I am sure the money they steal isn't going to charity these people are criminals funding criminal activities.  ( How can we fight back )? People are trying to steal my hard earned money and for God knows what & why.

      Well the good news is you did not pay them. So consider yourself smart for figuring this out. I know many people are not so savvy. I filed BK earlier this year and i thought maybe I forgot to add a creditor to the BK but after looking into this I found it to be some kind of scam. I replied to ask them what bill collector agency they were working for and their mailing address and phone number and got no response. The othe kicker is I checked the IP address and although it orginated in the US it also had India locations. A real bill collector would have no problem telling you their address and phone number especially if they think you will pay them.

      I received this email a few days ago and the amount "Sheila Powell" gave me was $940 but the matter would resolve for $400 in 4 $100 iTunes cards. I called my cousin who is a lawyer and he said it's a scam.

    Yep I just got it too.  Wow, do these people really think that I am dumb enough to send them money for a loan I did not personally authorize?  Yeah, I am going to try and track these idiots down myself.  This is ridiculous and is in violation of so many laws and ethics.

    I just got this email to and tried calling the number and it rang and rang and they immediatley called me back and i told them i never borrowed from this company and he said see u before the courts and hung up. i was worried til i got on here and seen what a bunch of fraud is being commited here. sa sad cuz i have a payday loan out but i am paying mine and about a month agao i kept getting calls all day about me getting arrested for not paying my loan and saying i stole the money. I was so scared but i feel much better now. They have always had thick accents and always from a diff number. It all started after i took out an advance on line. SO be weary. No more advances for me.

    I have been harrassed by these crooks for a year. When I received the first email, I was sure it was from the callers that have been threatening me for over a year. I have had payday loans, but have never been behind in my payments with them. I just got the second email like the one above. The first one didn't mention who it was that I supposedly committed fraud with. The second one says who I supposedly owe, and I'm positive I have never gotten a loan from Advance Cash America. I said, "let them try to prove it, because, by the record, I will be the winner. Thank God for this website, cause I was about to think that maybe someone had stolen my identity. I was ready for a court summons, but was confident there would be know record of these allegations being true.

      I have been getting calls & today I got an email. I'm going to ignore. I've gotten them before & I took it to the police, BBB & the FTC & was told it's a scam just ignore. The BBB said they couldn't do anything unless I give them money & that is not going to happen.

    I got the same email! It made me so mad since I don't have any loans. My response was to reply to the email, cuss them out and tell them to lose my email address. Now, this probably won't work, but it did make me feel a little better! LOL!
