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!

    They just started calling me too. They called me at work and I'm freaking out. I live in Texas, I don't know what to do because I never dealt with them. They claimed they deposited $500 in my account and that's a lie. Then they have my info. I immediately shut down my bank account. Please anyone with info tell me what to do.

      It with me in Nov they started calling my job and it was to the point were my superviser told them I didn't work there anymore I went the police and they called the number they told the cop to go screw himself. I told them To take me to court then they told me they were going to chage the amount that was owed becuase I was a honest person I told then to take me to court. Then the calls stop up till a few days ago. but there is and attorney general warning about this people you may have to fial a complant but stand your ground because they are bullies

        That should either cost them or force them to change numbers more often than they might want to, just to avoid your wasting their time.

        If they are sending out emails with phone numbers, changing numbers would dampen the effectiveness of the emails.

            I am getting a call from these people wanting me to accept a loan for $2000.00 but I have to go send by moneygram $195.  the phone number they are calling from is 315-625-1913.  The guy's name is John Williams, says company name is Cash Advance America.. his supervisor's names are Rolan and Janice Dizon.  I asked where I would be sending the money and he got very upset with me for asking all the questions... but told me Phillipines, Manilla.  I have not sent any money but I am worried because he has all of my info.. I'm just wondering where they are getting all this info on people!

    Had this same issue with the company but was so freaked out that they had my  bank account number, ss # work number address and phone number that I totally freaked out about them contacting my employer they demanded $300 I paid out of fear of their actions .  Having already been a identity theft victim years ago I just wanted it to end so I paid *was so stupid ) Checked all my bank account (an old account that i had not used in years)  .  I demanded my money back and the Ronnie Copper (clearly not his name Indian accent ) of course they refused then he said he was having a summons sent to my home and that he was going to contact my employer because I told him he was  scam artist .He stopped threatening me when I said I was recording him and that I was contacting the authorities.  I did report it to my bank changing my account and closing old account and also asked bank who to report it to they took the infor (phone number fake bar license # and fake names ) the bank said they would foward to the FBI don't know if anything is going to be done but they really are criminals.   I know I was stupid to pay but I don't know about anyone else but am completely freaked out that they have all my personal information and could not risk them making trouble for me at work..

    Contact your bank and have them report it FBI or ask who you should contact.

    3472867407 was the number they were calling me from.

    Got him very mad at me when I started talking about the fair debt and collection act. He claimed I was trying to teach a lawyer law and how dare I do that. I said I dared very much cause it didn't sound like he knew the law at all or he wouldn't be breaking it so badly.

    Tell them to see you in court people, cause they won't and can't put anything to the court. It would be a false filling.

    I live in Texas i got a call also. They claim they deposited $350 on march of 2010. When i talked to them i keep asking "what date was the superpose deposit" it took me 30 mins asking the same question to get that date. So i went to my bank and ask for the mouth of march and april and found the highest amount deposit on either of those months was my pay from my work (i have detect deposit from my job.) The guy claim there will be "investigators" that will come to my work and place of resident. i told him if they are not F.B.I. . Local Police, or State police i will not talk to them. He also claim i am being indited with grand larceny, if that is so i should have gotten a summons from the officer of the court. This happen before about 2 mouth prior. I am in a war.

    I am SO glad I found this site!  My story is exactly the same as everyone else's.  A man with a foreign accent just called me, at work, claiming his name was Anthony.  I remember getting a message from them on my voice mail a couple of weeks ago, saying how urgent it is that I call them back, and if I don't, all he could tell me was "good luck".  This place has been calling my best friend and harrassing her, and she reported it to the police who said it was a scam.  They are constantly calling me!  They claim they are a restitution company and this is in reference to a financial lawsuit (due to money I owe to Cash Advance America).  He was asking if I have my attorney's name and phone number on me.  I told him I don't have one, and that I'm at work and cannot talk, so just give me the summarized version.  He told me that it will take a long time (15 - 20 minutes) for him to explain this all to me, and gave me this number to call back (786) 728-8082.  I'm so upset, I'm shaking!
