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 applied for a loan online advance cash America.they called me and said hello I qualified for 3000 loan but first I must pay 3000 dollars via western union and they told me process takes 30 minutes or so. And also said I'm not obligated to do this.I'm the one that applied.their area code is 209 somewhere in LA,Calif.

    If this is a payday loan company not only are they crroked but coniving and liars to the ultimate degree.  I was scammed for $400 that I thought would get me the $2,200 that I needed to consolidate all my biils, but the $400 is gone.  The deal was to make the first payment up front and then the money would be deposited in my account and I only had five payments left for the 6 month loan.  Then a loan officer said there was something wrong with "the numbers" and if I sent them another $400 they sould refund my first $400 by adding it to my loan that they were supposed to deposit in my account.  He told me to "get the money" over and over.  He supposedly called me to verify my deposit account numbers, but he never got to that.

    I got their phone number from an email for a Payday loan and I called.
    281-220-2452

    It was for $1500 and the payment would be for 6 months for $310.

    I called back and said $2000 and I was told a larger number.

    I decided on $2200 because that's how much I really needed and they told me $400.

    I recieved a call from a Cash advanced america  he stated I owed them 400 and would pick me up from my job tomorrow and I will be going to jail if i did not pay him today. I asked him for his online address and he wouldnt give it to me . He had a very heavy accent and would not let me speak . when I did he would cut me off . and said he doesnt care about my job I need yo pack my bags and get ready for jail. I ask to speak to someone else to give me more info and he didnt have it. So he couldnt state when I took the loan out . the number he called from was hemet california 951-389-0292. I will be filing a report because i was threatened  and that is not acceptable !!!

    Jeff Hardy from Anderson Law Firm harassed me on the phone, he was going to send the police for warrant of arrest, good thing my co-workers told me it's a scam.  I reported them to our local police.

    I got these calls about 5yrs ago then we moved changed numbers and they have started again same indian accent sound like the same person (worker and supervisor) with the same story pay the money ($300) or go to jail and pay $8000.  Contacted the FBI last time and the agent seemed pissed at how many calls they are getting like this.  Said they had a BIG thing on their website not to call it was a scam and they are calling from so many different numbers its hard to keep up. But my thing is 1 what happen to AMERICAN ENGLISH speaking people calling I mean can I get some realism try to fake me out (told him to get an american white black or what even to call he said he was american lol I hung up)BUT what can you say when the economy is so jacked and people hire from other countries to do the jobs that were once in the USA (I work for a company that does this but its internal). And 2 what do you do to protect yourself when these type of people (con artist) have even a fraction of your information? Pay to change info monitor credit etc no what are you doing paying out just because...freaking technology!!!!!!!!

    I just recieved a call from them today and had a very heated conversation with them and they told me that I would be going to jail if I didnt pay them $785 dollars that I got from a loan from American Cash Advances and that they have over 300 websites and I signe up to one of those websites they couldnt give me a name of the website just the name American Cash!! Surprisingly they new alot of my info even my address and it was a little scary. They called my job and had my superivsor tell me that I needed to call them back ASAP and that it was urgent and they needed my money. But when I told them I was in the military and worked for the federal government he hung up. LOL then I called back and a women answered and tried to put me on hold and failed because i heard them talking in the background trying to whisper and figure out what he was going to say! He used the name Eric James or something like that but he had a middle eastern accent so I figured it was a scam after all that. Im glad im not the only one who got this call though bacause i was scared for a second.

    I just received a call from him too.  the same line, "3 pending charges against me & attorney info", had last 4 of my social, man with a heavy accent.  Glad i found this site, he had me worried for a moment.  he provided the number of 916-282-3130.  i will call and find out more to update.

    Update, i called and spoke to "ronnie cooper" (my apologies to the real one, talking about the faker).  i called him up he said i had lawsuits, and that i would be pick to go to "the jail" in the morning.  he inquired if i had an attorney.  I told him i did (i really didnt, i looked up my states attorney general info: address, fax#, etc...) i told him he could fax any paperwork he had over to him and if he would like the fax number. he tried to talk over me but i just repeated if he was ready for the fax number after which point he hung up.  I tried a total of 13-14 times calling him back but the line would pick up then hang up.  !!!FRAUD!!!  if he was truly an attorney he would have no issue with providing any info to another attorney.

    I'm going thru the dame thing right now! A place called cash advance America has been calling me several times a day from a 518-636-0596 number n told me his name was John Baker. He told me I was approved for s $3000 loan with payments for 12 months at $269. He said I needed to go to western union store n send them my first payment of $269 but not to tell anyone working there anything, just say its personal. Once I started vermin.g out my western union form n he wanted me to send it to India, then I got concerned!! He wouldn't answer any of my questions, be just wanted me to wire money. I took matters into my own hands, had western union to call their main office to invedtagate it@@ its a SCAM FRUD!!! Be careful!!

    OMG  they just call an employee of mine and had him in tears.  They are awful to make a grown man cry in fear that he owes money he never borrowed.  Stay away from these people.

    I have been going through the same thing for almost a week now. I got a call from a John Anderson (with a thick Indian accent) stating that I was being charged with all these different criminal charges. That if I didn't make a payment right away via a green dot card that the FBI would come to my job and arrest me the next day. That I then would be flown to LA to a court hearing. They claim I owe $700.00. The numbers that are calling me are 415-484-6741, 916-287-3958 and 215-369-5847. I feel better now that I see all these complaints but they can really shake you up. My understanding is that even if you do owe a loan the worst that can happen is your wages get garnished. I am going to file a complaint with the police today. Good luck to us all!!!
