Jim Richmond
Country: United States
Recieved a call from a man named John Nelson, with very thick accent. He put his Supervisor, Anthony Johnson, on the phone, upon my repeated request,  demanding $956 to be paid immediately to a business called Cash Advance America for an alleged loan he claimed my wife failed to pay over a year ago. Never had a loan from them, never heard of them. He said if she didn't pay today that another company called American Law Division had a "senior" attorney ready to file suit against her tomorrow in "Oklahoma Court" for over $4000 after attorney's fee's. He had the last four digits of her social security number. He never could furnish our address. He claimed her employer was also being "investigated." He also called my wife at her work place earlier in the day. He told her she had failed to take care of her business and that she would "end up behind the bars."  She continued to ask for a Supervisor and was told by Anthony that he was the Supervisor. She asked for his Supervisor because, while he claimed to be American and had an American name, his accent was so thick she could not understand a word he was saying. He then started talking really quickly and shouting. She just kept shouting back for him to put someone who could speak English on the line and he hung up.  He also told her his company had sent 18 emails that had gone ignored. ROFL! Of course, those types of emails always get deleted!  Not a letter or correspondence one.  Just the emails... which, upon sifting through my past email logs were not found.  My wife was very upset and I told her it was a scam and I'd be able to find something on the internet to prove it. Of course, I have found that proof here. You'll also note, they never put a phone number on their web sites.  I'll have to see if they keep calling before I try to take any legal action, which I doubt would do any good since they are foreigners. I suppose I'll play along and make them mad everytime they call... who know's it might be fun!

    I just received a call from a dude with an indian accent saying that I owed a loan from Cash Advance America. He said he was from Anderson Law Firm and he told me that I owed $300 on a cash advance and that it was racked up to $5000 total. He called me from (727)386-9962 and he had my email address, SSN, and address! Scared me half to death because he threatened to call the cops on me! I told him that I never got a loan with them, and I got very testy with him. He even hung up on me twice so I knew he wasnt legit. I want to call him again and make him think I am going to send him some money, but I dont have the energy for that mess. Now I feel like I need to freeze my accounts and everything because of this mess.

    I recived the same phone call with the guy who had an indian accent telling me that they were filing a suit against me for borrowing money from this company and failing to pay it back and they were charging me with bank fraud, wire transfer fraud they went on and on and the guy gave me a number to call their attorney Ronnie Cooper and when i called Ronnie it was another guy with an indian accent who i couldn't understand and he was screaming at me that they were going to delete my social security number and i would be on record in the state of California and they were going to contact my job and tell them what i had done. I too was very upset by this because I wanted to know how these people had so much of my personal information so after this i will not being doing anything else online that requires any of this information!!! Lesson learned!

Seriously..Robert Deniro !!  I told them to bring it on.  This happened a couple months ago and they extorted my debit card # to give me info..4 days later my card company shut down my card because there was attempted use of it in North Carolina and Milan Italy on the same day.  I like the one guys idea...keep calling THEm back and harrasing them.

    i have received many calls from different numbers from Cash Advance as well. I have contacted my lawyer. I also reported them to Attorney General and to FTC.  They have a long list of complaints against them. They told me immediately it was a scam.

    I too have had the honors of repeated harrassment from the un-american scammers, they have and continue to call from various numbers.  I explained I had never had a US Cash Advance and to stop calling me, I have
    have a Jason Reed call me as well that has threatened check fraud and have heard what sounds like the non english idiots in the background...I am wondering if they are indeed together??  Anyone heard of Jason Reed (Reed & Associates) as it has been noted online, I noticed while attempting to research who these people were.

    its crazy cause i just experience the similar situation. Jason Miller called and said that i owe 200 from a cash advance and told me that i'm going to jail. He even went as far as calling me a two dollar [***] and saying that he's going to F**k me and give me two dollar because that's all i'm worth ( funny because he don't even know me). But here's the twist to the story, instead of him calling me, i kept calling him back to back and getting really technical with him that's when he confess to me that he was running a SCAM AND EVEN PROMISE NOT TO CALL MY PHONE AGAIN.

    281-385-8228 "James Anderson" called with a thick indian like accent trying to contact an employee at my work saying stuff about social security and he is from "American Law Firm". All weird stuff, someone named James Anderson working at American Law Firm would not have suck a thick accent with the same accent talking loudly in the backround. This is crazy! I called back and and he answers "hello" I ask what company Im calling he says "dentist office" I said wow can can I speak with Mr Anderson? He said speaking! I said well you just told me you were from American Law Firm and now it is a dentist office? I asked for his address and he kept asking me who i was....He started to make the phone go in and out so I couldnt understand him but I did get that he is in TX at 4141 E Parkway 77032. I want to report this info somewhere but not sure what to do! I asked at the end of the call what kind of scam are you running to which he replied that I was breaking up......yeah! because he was causing the phone to break up! I hung up on his scamming butt! REDIC!

    These people cannot even keep their fake names straight. Went to local police with numbers and info.  One guys name was Mark Wilson/Watson used both. Very heavy indian accent. A 310 area code. Threatened me with physical harm. TOLD ME to sell my car. I would be in jail within 3 hours. I now have to change and start new phone bank foreclose accounts. Also have my credit report flagged, file with the Social Security office. These people are pure evil. Please please beware. If all of us know what can we collectively do to stop them legally?

    PISSED OFF!
    I just received a call from the same people. Only this time it was a heavy "indian accented" man named "TEVIN SIRAS". He left the tn 310-693-2421 to call back because he had a serious legal matter to talk to me or my lawyer about. I called the number back and spoke with "JOHN ANDERSON". He stated that he was calling on behalf of his client Cash Advance and that I owed them $1300. I advised him that I didn't have a clue as to what he was talking about and then he told me that he was sending the sheriff to my job to arrest me in 3 hours if I did not settle my debt over the phone with him. I asked him for his firms address and who and when supposedly I had gotten the loan from. He told me that I didn't have any sense and hung up on me! Well that pissed me off! I then called him back and he continued to insult me and tell me that I was going to jail in 3 hours. I told him that he could send the sheriff to my job and arrest me because I don't have any money now and if I go to jail then I won't have a job and then they won't ever get paid! I am so out done with this mess and that "monkey" was so rude to me. I will be doing like everyone else and flagging my credit information and bank account. This doesn't make any sense and I want it to STOP!!!!!

    I too have gotten the same calls. You need to know first off you can not be arrested for not paying on any loan-period. Two they are hacking into other business and personal numbers to show thenumber that is displaying on the screen. I have reported them to the FTC as well as the state attorney general's office. Your info, including the last four of your social is public record so that is where they are getting it from. DO NOT give them anything more. Often times, you can trip them up by asking them to verify your address as well as your last known address. They told me i lived in Bronxy Ny and I live in PA and have never been to NY. Clueless idiots. Seriously harass them back, play with them as much as you want, no one is going to do anything to harm you or your credit, they are trying to get that info from you to go after your financials. So dont give it to them

    Please I have had the same thing happen to me.  The bottom line is, go online to the Attorney Generals Website for the state the number is listed to, find and fill out the Consumer Complaint Form online.

    Please do this so the Attorney Generals Office is forced to look into this.

    I have filled out my form today (11/14/2011).

    I wish you all good luck
