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!

        Hello, I just received this phone call from someone RIGHT NOW and got off the phone with this guy. He had a very thick accent, there were a bunch of people talking in the background. He told me to pay this loan that I have never taken out for $1200.00 but he had ALL my information and social security number. Im totally startled because he said police would show up at my house, arrest me, and go up to my job and I would serve this bogus amount of time in jail. H told me if I didnt call him back in 45 minutes with the money that it will be filed in the court and basically my life would be ruined and my license would be suspended and all types of crazy stuff. Is this happening to alot of you from this Cash America company with a area code calling from a 951

            To Linda, do not be afaid of these scam artist. They did the same to me. At frist i was shaking up because I never borrowed a dime from these scam artist. Than they made a big mistake, they left a voice mail telling me i better return their phone call or else all hell would rain apond me. I called the Police, because I'm sick the Police came to my home. The Police called them, they didn't answer. The phone number is (951)525-5753. I believe they have different #s they use. I made a complaint to the FBI,THE POLICE,AND the Attorney General.Tell ur supervisor about these people. Next time they call tell them ur taping them and they will leave u alone. They try 2 scare people into sending them money.Don't let these people get away with it!! Report them!! Somehow they get ur personal info by just running a credit check on you. That's how they get ur information. Change ur bank acount & let them know ur taping them. Even if u borrowed money they can't arrest u. If they stopped calling u , they will start again, that's why u have to nipe it in the bun by telling them they r being taped. Some poor lady wired them 300.00 just so they would leave her alone & she never even borrowed money from them. After a few months they were calling her for more money. Being that they liked calling me so much , I started calling them all day so they know how it feels. They can't take u 2 court because they can't produce any paperwork that u signed, so DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS!!! WE HAVE TO STAND TOGETHER ON THIS & REPORT THEM!!!

        The number they are using with me is 1-202-436-9791. It comes up Washington DC.. The names used were Sebastiian, Joe,Edward,David, Michael. All of them with a very heavy India accent. Yup they got me for $2330.00 through Green Dot Money Cards. I have learned a very expensive lesson and pray it doesn't happen to anyone else. Tne last call today they said they would cancel my "loan" if I would send then another $400.00 and they would refund my money I already paid. I may be dumb but I'm not stupid. Just maybe naive.
