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.

    Okay so I just responded back to them after showing interest in resolving this "debt" they asked me I send them the 16 digit number on the back of my iTunes gift card a long with personal contact information.

The federal laws prescribed is in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act where the following federal laws can be viewed by the general public.

    I received the same scam. They told me I borrowed $400 from them and now my balance is $1293.00. I asked for banking info and deposit date. Haven't heard from them since. My email came from a woman named Karen Williams.

    Since i know it's a scam when they call me i play along with them and keep them on the line. I say outrageous things and just keep them going as i lie to them. I figure as long as I'm talking to them they aren't scamming anyone else.

    This is the e-mail that I received on May 12, 2016:

    From: Timothy Jones <timothy.jones@thecashinsta.com>
    Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2016 8:24 AM
    To: Timothy Jones
    Subject: LEGAL DEPARTMENT

    This is the final notification to let you know that the option to settle the legal case outside of the court house is going to end by today.

    If we don’t hear from you by the end of the day today, the legal case will be downloaded.

    The creditor has full rights to inform your employer about this fraud along with your given references and they will also inform the 3 major credit bureaus about it so that this fraudulent activity could be mentioned into your credit report.

    This loan was for your short term financial needs however you refused to pay the money back to company.

    Get back with us right away or the burden will be on your shoulders.

    Also this is to inform you that we are not threatening you, we are just want to let you know about the consequences.

    Best Wishes.

    Advance Cash America.

    I just received the full mail as mentioned in previous comments by text to my phone.  Complete scam.  My attorney and police have stated if they cannot provide in writing to you your original document or loan doc, then be extremely cautious in all information provided. These people are scammers.....nothing better to do, than to harrass honest working people, scare them...I am so tired of having to deal with stupidity. These people need to be stopped and our states and government need to find a way to make that happen.

    I got one today as well saying I owe $8600 and a scanned copy of the "arrest warrant".  I'm a bill collector and it's a civil lawsuit unless the actual bank decides to prosecute. So I'm high tailing my butt to the police station and handing over the email for them to find for harassment. This is the 1st email but they have called several times too.

      No it is not unless you get an actual letter with the original documents it is all a scam. They will try and use BBC FTC and anything else to get you to send them money

    Yes I keep getting the same email every so often. Funny thing  is I filed for BK earlier this year so no creditor should ever be contacting me about any uncollected debt.. It kinda scares me but the email I got matches this one I see her. So it is a scam??

    I also have been getting these emails. My account got hacked and they had done several pay day loans in my name. I called the bank and got that account settled and closed but here i am 2 years later still getting these emails. I usually ignore them but this time they are using fake name. The local police said they are scammers and to ignore it. I am glad i didn't fall for this scam!

    I just received an email that was just like the one above, the funny thing is I may have had a debit with a pay day loan but I filed bankruptcy and they told me that bankruptcy wasn't going to help me get out of jail. I asked them who the original creditor was and was told that they were the original creditor and I had never heard of Advantage Credit Union. I have never banked with an advantage credit union.  The other ironic thing that gets to me is that they do all of this during tax time thinking they can scare someone into paying them for a debt that was already resolved in chapter 7 bankruptcy, even if it wasn't, I don't get income tax and they would be standing in line with everyone else because my first debt to be paid off is the IRS they have all of my attention.
