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!

This guy with a f--kedup accent calls me while I'm at work telling me I owe them $675.99 and a investigation is under my ss# for fraud the sheriff department is on there way to my job. I asked he for some more info he yelled at me and told me to shut up.there coming to arrest u and throw u in jail. He said the company name was cash advance america. He said u can clear this problem by sending $300.00 to a John Anderson and the money should be put on a greendot card. I called FTC and the police department to report this problem. I was really shaken

    Lol you know what is the best way to get back at them? To call them and ask them for their information so that i can give it to my attorney because i am looking to sue them now, and that i had all their info and im gonna forward everything to the FBI. The lady just told me that everything was resolved and that if i didn t do anything wrong not to panic. I laughed and told her that she's the one that should panic because they re all going to jail. She just hung up quickly...

      I have the same proble
      First of all by law no one suppose to take you to jail without you going to court for any lawsuit that been provide against you you have to receive an mail from the court that some one try has filled a lawsuit against you. Just report them to the authorities of your state. They scams because a pay day loan is a civil loans even though you did take the loan by law how you suppose to pay thus of dollar for 200 dollar loan so you need to watch for Those crooks they out there hustle over people fortunes that people work hard for they want money. And what you need to do next time they call you said can you speak English and they will get mad cuz even me they try to do that to me and I was like well go head do it

    Yes.   THe same here.  They called my work today and tried to tell me I had a loan from a bank I haven't had in years and they were coming tomorrow at 11 with a sheriff to give me a law suit  w/me against the state of pennsylvania.  I have never received an email or letter from Cash advance america that I even owed this debt.   I am in chapter 13 bankruptcy and I am sure I would have know about it!!  They know my last four of my social security number and my work number.   I will also contact all the authorities to file a complaint.

    A indian guy called and left me a message (said his name was Michael something). I could barley understand what he was saying.  He stated that if me or my attorney did not contact him that he wishes me good luck as the situation unfolds on me! He did not state what this was regarding. But now that I read all your comments I understand it is a scam of some kind about getting/signing up for a loan.  I never received any loans!
    He also calls from 714-786-4141. I just called this number and now he says his name is Ronnie Cooper. When I asked what this is regarding in a stern voice he threatened me (stated he would put my information on google and ruin my credit plus a sheriff with come to get me tomorrow).
    Stated that this is a debt from CASH ADVANCE AMERICA
    I never received any cash advance/loan, etc!!
    They have ALL my info! SSN, Birthday, legal name, etc.

    Private line - 818-337-3036.

    These fools called me all afternoon yesterday and all morning today. When I asked for more info regarding my "So called loan" this idiot (who calls himself Richard Hunt) said that I had to go to Wal-Mart and get 3-900 dollar money Packs. I thought his Nigerian accent said money Bags. I asked him WTF is a Money Bag and Walmart don't sell that!!!! He asked to speak to my supervisor and all this extra stuff. I said ok I will send you your money bags he got real mad and kept yelling I SAID PACKS NOT BAGS!!! I said well if your going to call America and try to scam Americans out of their American Money then you need to speak some dam ENGLISH!!! He was soooooo mad. I was crackin up!!! He said I DO SPEAK ENGLISH! I imitated his accent and said NO YOU SPEAK LIKE THIS! I was dyin laughing. He finally hung up on me and then 2 mins later a Jason called and started threatening me saying if you get fired its your fault because we are going to talk to your Supervisor and we are going to keep calling until you pay. I said Do any of you people speak any ENGLISH? He said we are going to send the authorities to your work!. So I imitated his accent and said OK COME AGAIN! I kinda want them to call back cuz that was 3 hours of pure entertainment!

    Their new numbers are 1-866-463-1803 and 1-866-878-2551. And they even have a fax number 1-800-316-8023

    I am getting the same calls. This has been going on for at least a year now. There is an Idian guy calling me saying his name is Alex. I have also spoken to a John and Michael. These calls started for me last summer, they called and stated I had received a cash advance for 3000 dollars and there is a law suit going to be filed against me. They also stated that they were going to contact my employer and garnish my wages. I just started giving them a taste of their own medicine. I called and harrassed them all day one day. I was hollering and screaming just like they do. When I finished harrassing the guy he asked me did I want a job and they stopped calling for months. It seems like they have started again but I did let them know I am trying to get them investigated because they have all my personal info. THIS IS A SCAM!!!

      At least they have a sense of humor.
