Have been receiving phone calls from 510-240-7181. The person call is David Scott. He claims that I received a cash advance from Cash Advance USA in the amount of $575 and cashed the check. David Scott is saying now that the Sheriff's Office will be coming to pick me up and take me to jail because I have not paid back this money. I never received an cash advance monies from anyone.

    They are just a fake "payday loan debt collection" scam.
    They are a bunch of liars.
    If they have thick accents, they are probably Indians calling from overseas.

    You can report this scam to the FBI.  They will confirm that it is a scam.

    This is definitley a SCAM!! I received a call from THE BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONS for Cash Advance. Thye stated that there was a lawsuit against me and my case had been forwraded to them. Officer J. Webber gave me a case number and told me that I neede to send $921 and go to the nearest WalMart to make the payment. When I asked about getting this in writing, he became angry and loud. He told me that he wouls just send the police to my palce of employment and my residence and have me arrested. He then put David Scott on the phone who demanded that I send payment today or else and once I said I would, he said , "yea, call me within the hour once you are at WalMart and I will give you further instructions." He was very unprofessional. He put me on hold and I overheard him talking to another person, telling them the same thing he told me. THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!

      It's an extortion scam, using harassment to con and extort money from you.

      They typically use VoIP, which allows them to set caller id to anything.

      They are hiding in India.  They aren't worried about anyone catching them anytime soon.

        At the same time, you don't have to worry about them "suing" you or "arresting" you.
        They are just some sort of really rude phone spam.

    Woke up this morning to about 11 calls in a 10 minute time frame. This has been going on with me for 3 days now. Not only are they calling my personal phone and I am going to have to change the number I have had forever. Some how they are calling my work. I am not sure how they even got this information but I literally have been worried sick over this because I don't want to lose my job. I can cut and paste from what everyone else has said about my experience through all of this. Calling me from my own number, really? I have 20 messages of either them screaming in the phone, blank, or that I can actually hear them calling my work and talking with my co-workers. It sounds in some of them that they may even be drunk.

    How long did this last for others? If anyone has feedback on that it would be helpful to know.

    I am afraid to change my number because then they may start calling other people I know. I am sure by in which that manner they are already behaving that this would have started already. I have been to the police department and talked with my phone company. There is nothing much at this point until the call can be traced.

      Hi Olivia,
      A few months ago i started receiving calls from a person by the name of Don Wilson, from the federal bureau of investigation and litigation dept.  He had a foreign accent big time.  He left me a urgent message that i was about to be sued and locked up if i didnt return his call right away, so I called back, he said i owed money to a cash advance company i didnt pay back, and if i didnt pay that he was going to send agents to pick me up at my home, my work.  So i pushed further, i asked what was the company i owed, can you send me the information, he said no.  The only unsettling thing was they had my social security # and my checking account number also.  They called me for weeks, the police couldnt do anything.  Now I am getting calls from a completely different person claiming to be a law office-this B+@*hes name is Regina Belle from an attorneys office, i havent spoken with her yet, but she said i had to call her back immediately or shes going to be forced to file an affidivate against me.  Gosh what next.  I think i am going to change my number.  I just wish i knew how to deal with this.  Good luck Olivia.

    I  also received a phone call  from Senior Officer David Scott on June 9, 2012 , phone number 9513890276 . He stated that I was being sued by Cash Advance for $545 and that he was filing suit and I would be arrested at home or at work.. He even called me pretending it was from my from my sisters house ... He also, stated that I could settle out of court, pay through Western Union to a person name William Stewart, code city Pittsburgh, Pa. and I had 30 minutes to pay and call him back.. he continued to harass me with phone calls to my phone and through my  friends phone when I didn't answer my phone... saying he is on his way to court to file suit..The main thing that I'm afraid of is that he has my Social Security number and home address. I hope they get these Scam Artist soon!!!

    I have just started receiving calls from a guy who claims he is with the Bureau of Investigation with Cash Advance. His name is Daniel Smith. He harrasses and threatens me at my work number and cell #. He told me i owe $4something and i have until the next morning to pay it or he will file a case in ourt and sen police to my house to arrest me if i dont. I told him i didnt know what he was talking about and he began to get loud and started screaming at me. I figured it was a scam so i told him i didnt have it and he said i needed to pay half of it then. I told him i didnt have that either and he told me to go to Walmart and get some kind of card and call him back within 30 min. I told him no and hung up well he called back and said let me speak with your manager i told him no and i asked him for there corporate number he said why and i said let me have it and he began screaming everyone is in a meeting and hung up. so i called back and tried to get it from another guy who answered and he wouldnt give it either and he also hung up. THIS IS SUCH A SCAM THAT NEEDS TO END!!!
