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!

    Received the same phone calls you guys have, but from 281-385-8228. Called from a "James Anderson." Said I borrowed $300 from Cash Advance America and defaulted on it, so now I owe $4000, and then changed it to just Advance America. Well, knowing that Advance America is just down the road, I called them. They checked with my SSN and saw that I don't even have an account with them and referred me to their corporate. They took the information at corporate and referred me to the Federal Trade Commission. Call and file a report with them at 1-877-382-4357. Just FYI, I tried calling the 281 # back, and it just rings and rings and rings. f**kers

    A guy named Rox Murphay called me twice and said i had a law suit against me and that my social security benefits were under investigation. I called the social security office and they said that they do not have anybody by that name investigating anything for them.The social security office told me not worry about a thing. Rox Murray gave me a badge number RM95221 and his number is 786-275-5066.

    So, this [***], who called himself Kevin Cyrus, called me today from Cash Advance America saying that I was being sued on three different charges.  When I asked what the charges were, I was told to speak with an attorney from American Law Division.  The attorney came on the phone and said her name was "Attorney Angela".  She told me that I needed to speak with "Ronnie Cooper".  Of course, I panicked.  I had no idea what I did to get sued.  This [***] had my full social security number, bank account information, address and employer.  The strange thing is, he didn't call my cell phone, he called my sister's cell phone.  My sister doesn't take crap from anyone, so she began to try to get information for me.  After 2 hours of calling these con-artists and getting hung up on constantly, we determined they were terrorists.  This guy, "Ronnie Copper," told my sister to "[***]" and told her to "have a meeting with Obama and tell Obama to give him $3 million and then he will stop scamming Americans."  We kept getting hung up on, with no answers, by a bunch of indian-sounding [***].  Don't let them get to you, advise them that you recorded the phone call conversation and will submit it to the FBI, that's what we did and they have left us alone.

    This is crazy, my sister got the same phone call today and called me crying and scared at work.  She said they called from 909-565-4286.  So i called the number back and I pretend that i wanted a loan, they told me to deposit 10,000 dollars on a wal-mart card and then I could get a loan???????? Which doesnt make any sense,I had that kind of money, i wouldnt need a loan.  if i couldnt do it we cant do business. How suspicious does that sound.  I called my sister at work and told her stop crying because this sounds like a scam. They have just messed with the wrong persons sister because, she works in a bank, her manager and other bank representatives heard the whole escapade.  On top of that our dad has connections with all type of lawyers and other resources, we will definitely be proceeding with action on these people.

    I am having a Frank Jefferson call me, threatening me about a payday cash loan form Cash Advance America int he amunt of $759.33.  They have started call my cell phone and job.  I don't know how they got my information. They keep telling me that they are going to throw me in jail and fine me up to $5200.  This is embarrassing, I had to tell my employer what is going on.  The number that they are calling from is 213-550-1632 and fax # 206-600-2513.  How do I get this to stop, ignoring them is making the phone worse.  so scared!!

    thank goodness for this site. I stupidly applied for a cash advance loan over the internet and now "Cash Advance America" is claiming they advanced me $467 on 7/19 that I never received.  The phone # was (347) 753-8333.  I told him to go ahead with the civil suit for $5400 as I was not going to settle out of court for money I never received.  I was worried about having to hire an attorney to represent me for an easy civil action that I would obviously win when I found this site.  thank you!

    The number he's using now is 845-445-2304. The same thing here. He's using Kevin Watson and the other name is James Conner. He had ALL of my information so I thought it was legit. At first, I was really upset, thinking someone had stolen my identity and gotten a loan. Of course, I didn't want this on my credit/record so I said I'd make payment arrangements. He then told me verbatim what to say in a statement that I needed to fax to him. I faxed it, but decided to go back and search my records/email. Then he screwed up and emailed me this "legal notice" that he was going to "download" with the court (not mentioning WHAT court). That's when I did a search on the company Cash Advance America and what do you know but all of these scam reports popped up. I saw one site to put in a number and low and behold....there it is. I called the sheriff and he called while I was on the other line! The sheriff told me to tell him that I was talking to my county sheriff's department on the other line...the very same one he threatened to issue a warrant for my arrest with. And I told him to send me the paperwork, that I knew he was a scam and I was filing a stolen identity charge with my sheriff. He blabbered something about paperwork and hung up the phone. The sheriff advised me to file a report and just wait to see if I hear anything. Well, the jerk called my cell phone just an hour later trying to say that my "statement" said I'd pay. I told him that he's a scam, he's been reported and that if he continued to harrass me, each time I'd be documenting it for a case against him. I wouldn't allow him to overtalk me. I politely said goodbye and hung up. So far he hasn't called back. But I have to go to the sheriff's office in the morning to file an official complaint/stolen identity charge. The sheriff told me that I'm not the first person to call their offices about this guy. It is a total scam. Don't give him ANY information, even if he has your info, don't acknowledge it because the sheriff said that's how they verify that they have your social, address, etc. He didn't get a dime from me...but it was close.

    I just started receiving the same calls from James Connor.  I originally was receiving them from a woman and I couldn't even understand her name.  It's an awful experience and I hope something can be done to get rid of them PERMANENTLY!  Screw them!

    I am glad to see that this is a scam for I received phone calls from a person (indian decent) which I could hardly understand claiming to be a lawayer using the 909 565-4286 claiming to represent cash advance america and that they deposited 300 dollars into my account which was never deposited and claiming I needed to pay 800 dollars including lawyer fees. I demanded for his qualifications as a lawyer and asked for address and name of firm and he threatned to submit papers in could in brooklyn NY when his area code was CA area code and they were going to put me in jail for check fraud. I ASKED WHEN IT WAS DEPOSITED into my account AND HE GOT ANGRY AND SAID HE WASN'T A COLLECTION AGENCY he just wanted to have papers delivered to my place of employment and would close my account. HE ALSO SAID THAT HE WAS RECORDING THE CONVERSATION. i told him fine take me to court. I hop they catch this thief.

    I receive. a call this morning from a man called Hector with an Indian accent, advising me that a lawsuit was being filed against me, for not paying back a loan made to me by a company named Cash Advance America.He asked if I wanted to settle out of court since it was such a small amount. I told him go ahead and sue me that I would see him in court as that I never borrowed any money from anyone and that I was out of work and good luck to him trying to get money out of a stone. If they call back I will report it to my local police department.

    I also have been a victim of identity theft and this is such a personal violation. I live in Calif it seems to be a wide spread scam.

    I have been receiveing calls too from this place, saying that I took this loan out for $300 they were a lawfirm and going to send me to prison, they call over and over, all with a diff crazy number each time, its never a consistant number, either too many digits, or its 000-000-0000. Never heard of a lawfirm in New York that is just a call center of all Indian people.
