I was called & severely harassed by the so-called LLC Law Firm in New York 646-873-6094 ! These East Indian people called today basicity yelling at me about a loan from Advance America, telling me that I am in trouble & will go to jail for fraud if I don't pay them $730 immediately!  The names of the people who i spoke to where, Nick Stevens, Paul Simmons & a John Waydam! They also told me that he hope I had already had an attorney ready to go! So of course I'm freaking out at that point so I told them I had to call them back & I called Advance America & told them everything that had happened & I was informed that my load had been sold to a collection company not affiliated with this LLC Law Firm & I'm not ganna be going to jail for not paying my loan (which I will be now lol) Anyways, I decided to call them back & act like I wanted to pay them to get more information to give to Advance America & they refused to give me the whole name of the Law office or even the name of the lawyer that was ganna take me to court! In closing, Advance America told me that there has been complaints like this going around lately! So please, if anything happens to you, investigate it first because a real law office has to give you that basic information!

Good Luck~ LInda

    I wouldn't worry about that. They are so dumb and don't even realize how long it takes to do anything legally in the US. They tried to tell me to be in court by Monday, please it takes months to even try to file a lawsuit. Just ignore their calls and they will go away. They left me alone for 2 weeks and called me back today telling me I owed on another Payday loan. They are really stupid. Today the guys name was James Johnson calling from a FL number 772-409-6079. The payday loan company was Cash Advance USA number 516-490-5235 called and suprise another man with a heavy accent like I am stupid really. Just hang in their if you dont return their calls eventually they will get the hint.

    I just got two calls, yesterday and today.  Saying the same things, that I owed $5,000 to America Cash Advance, I have never taken a cash advance from the company or any other company.  The messages that were left were very nastey and threatening.  The number they left was 315.394.9759.  Both the person that left the two messages and the guy that answered the phone sounded like on in the same and sounded Chinese or something like that.  One called himself Johnathan and I didn't catch the other's name.  When I called back the guy said I was going to be arrested the next day at either my place of business or my home. I did file a police report.  I also called back after they called the second time and told them I had filed a police report and they hung up on me!  So, everytime they call me, if they call back, I am calling back and threaten them by saying they are going to be arrested!  Give them back their own medicine.  This is upsetting and they shouldn't be allowed to continue harrassing people.

    So I got a phone call at about 345 today right before i was suppose to take my two kids to meet there teachers which one is in 4k and the other in 1st. This man who i couldn't even understand told me that my husband had taken a loan out and that if i didn't pay them today i had to show up in court tomorrow morning. the state of wisconsin has a web site that you can go to and find out if someone is suing you or not and nothing showed up. at this point i had to get to the school but my husband was still trying to talk to them. after along while he came to the school and told me that he was going to go to the police station and file a report. so now come to find out from this website that everyone is so nice about posting its the same thing its LLC out of newyork some guy named james brown and they told me not only were we getting sued for 5000 but so was my brother who lives in OR i hope that people don't pay these guys. i don't understand why the US government hasn't found this people by now but tomorrow i'm going to get to the bottom of this one way or another and when someone pisses me off to no end i will get to the bottom of it no matter how long it takes me cuz people who don't understand things that are disabled i can't image what they go though. its so sad that things like this happen to nice people who work hard for there money.

    This is a scam people. I have been recieving multiple clls and messages to my place of employment stating that I have a debt of $5000.00 and that Today 9/16 a law suit will be filed against me for non-payment. The people I spoke to were Tina Williams and Alex Warner whom claimed to be a supervisor. but when I asked them to fax me proof and information they refused and stated it was too late (BullS). My brother called in to pretend to be my lawyer and they froze. These people are a bogus firm please do not be fooled. Also, it is against the law to contact ANYONE at their place of employment for ANY personal business matter!!!!

    yep... me too! This dude with an EXTREME indian accent called. He claimed that his name was "MARK WHITE"... he must have been really dumb if he thought i would believe that. Anyways, he claimed to be from "LLC Law Firm".. ADRESS: 226 11th street ny ny 10026... which is totally fake by the way. he told me that i had an outstanding debt of 895 Dollars with Advance American Cash Advance...and on top of that i owed 5000 dollars for court costs and stuff. He did have me shaking in my boots for a second... Im young, and new at the whole credit thing...so anyways, he told me that he had a supeona and that i had to go to court and he said that he hoped i had a good lawyer. I investigated, contacted my bank to verify.. and no record. When i asked to provide me with the info that i "submitted", and conformation of the transaction.. he said he couldnt provide the documents.... then i figured out how this was a complete scam!!... They claimed that i borrowed money from Advance America in november of 2009... I was in the Military at that time.. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR MILITARY MEMBERS TO GET A PAY DAY LOAN.. meaning that even if a military member tries to apply for a payday loan/cash advance.. they would immediatey be turned down without even starting the application...what a bunch of losers. I had my girlfriend call them back...Impersonating a lawyer from the military... MARK WHITE was scared...lol. SCAM ALERT!

    Ask for there bar ID...if you ever have any doubt your talking to an attorney. Every state has a place to look up any law firms Bar ID, and a real attorney will not mind u verfing this info.  I am the CEO of a collection company and you will never go to jail for bad debt in the USA or writing a defired deposit item with a check cashing place.  When they give you money and then hold your check they have extended you credit and it is now a civil matter.

    worried mom
    I just got a call from an officer samuel simpson from the american law firm with an unknown # asking that i call 315-663-2875.  I called that # and he had an Indian accent that i could barely understand him.  He told me it was about a loan that i took out in november of 2008 thru cash advance.  He had my full ss# my name and my physical address.  When I asked him which cash advance store I had taken a loan from he said it could be numerous names they all operate under cash advance.  I recall taking out a loan and paying  it back.  He said that was incorrect.  He told me to email him a letter with my bank info stating that it was not my intention to not pay and to please give me an extension.  He said if i did not do this then i will have to go to court for fraud, check deception and for grand larceny.  When i asked him why hadn't i ever received anything in writting from this company he said that they did not send anything because i defaulted on the loan.  I started getting suspicious when i asked for his address and fr him to send me a copy of the statement from the cash checking place that showed i borrowed this money.  After reading some of the blogs i asked him for his bar id and he told me in the state of florida they are not allow to give his personal bar id nor the firms.  He ended the call saying that they will come and arrest me and see you in court. Can i really go to jail for this in state of Florida? What should I do?

    I was called numerous times at work saying that there was going to be an investigator coming to my place of employment by tomorrow at 10 am to serve me and my employer. never showed. he called again today same threatening manner. I told him to contact my attorney he wouldnt. He said I could pay $750 dollars to make this easier without them coming out to serve or possibly arrest me. I told him I'll wait for them.LOL that just mad him mad and he hung up. My attorney did call a number left by them and confirmed it was a bogus scam. Since they only have our main office number I had our secretary tell them I no longer worked here and that i was arrested by their investigator! lol

    Same thing happened to me today. They had american names with Indian accents that you couldn't understand. She told me the same story you guys did and that they were filing the case tomorrow and I will be picked up and thrown in jail and lose my job and that I would owe 5000.  Asked her to fax the information she was explaining to me and she refused and kept tellingme me to quit interrupting her.  I called and asked them what the name of their firm was.  They said LLC Law Firm.  I said..do you know that LLC stands for Limited LIability Comanpy.  So your law firm does not exist and what is your real name. They said that is the name. Asked where they were based out of and they said new york. I said Ok, just wanted to let you know that this conversatin was recorded on a government phone line for use in court. And they hung up.  I'mm gonna send a complaint, not that it will domuch, but hell, maybe I can do something.  LOL

    They are not very good at this.  Got a call, saying that I refused to pay back a payday loan.  Told them I've never had one.

    They said they were going to come pick me up Monday next week so that we could go to court.  I said, 2 things:  

    First off, I'm nobody's fool.  Any type of legal correspondence should happen through the mail and I must be subpoenaed for a civil hearing.

    Secondly,  that Monday that they were talking about going to court was Labor Day.  The guy was stumped when I mentioned this.  These guys are terrible.  This makes me wonder if they even calling from America?  And this isn't meant racially, but who wouldn't have known that?  And what Law Firm would call you and 4 0's show up on the caller id?


    And then they called again, but whole the first guy told me they were in Los Angeles, the second guy said that they are in New York.  

    Just awful scammers.

    Just got a voice mail on my office line from LLC Law Offices of Chicago.  This was the second one they left.  I called them back this time.  Same Indian accent threatening me.  I asked them to simply spell my name.  The guy got upset and hung up on me.  I've never had a payday loan.  How did they get my name and phone number?

    Just ask them to send you the stuff in writing.  If they actually do and it's not a debt you owe, they have committed a federal offense by mailing faudulant documents through the US Mail service.

    me too
    Oh I've been harrassed the past few days from these people too.  Saying I owe Advance America $5000..they have last 4 of my social, but will tell me my address when I ask what do they have.  They want me to stay on the line while they read some legal spiel and that I will be arrested and taken to court, blah blah blah.  The number they are giving me is 347-369-4982.  This is baloney and hogwash.  I tried calling back but just a recording stating extension not available.  The scary thing is they have our info!  Brock Lewis is the one calling me.

    I have gotten the same scam done to me just today. 11-22-10
    I thought it for real in the beginning cuz they sound very convincing. I couldn't get any info from them about the place supposedly suing me and what loan I originally took out. Very heavy-accented male named James Smith possibly from India or Pakistan. My boss helped me figure out it was a scam. I put in the number 201-539-2389 (minus the dashes) in Google and all this info popped up about it. I'm glad I got my boss involved, cuz I may have actually sent them money for fear of being arrested at work or home.

    I received a phone call from a Justine (347-289-3121) something saying she needed my attorney to call back or I was going to be arrested. I was laughing when I called her back and ask her a lot of legal questions being that I am a Criminal Justice major in college right now. I have never had a payday loan and explained that to her and she started getting mad and hung up. So I started calling her back all day today and I guess they changed the number lol. I received another call from a different number from a Bob Johnson, then a Mark Johnson, and his supervisor Frank Johnson. I got hung up by them as well because I kept making fun of how they were all Johnson's.

    I just got a call from them today - Alan Smith with a computer generated Indian Accent - yes, that was weird.  I have never taken out a PayDay loan, only looked into it when things were really tight but never received any money. This is my second call in 3 weeks.  First one was from the totally unidentifiable "Law Firm" that existed with no discerning name or address.  With that one, the guy hung up on me because I challenged him to prove a bank deposit date.  The key for me was - they had no 800 number and would NOT mail me any information.  I know my rights, you have to mail that stuff to me upon request and provide me with more info than - we deposited money but we can't tell you the date of the deposit.

    I'm going to ignore Alan Smith but I do want to report these two incidents.  Who are the best people to report this to?  The direct numbers they gave me to call back were Seattle and Georgia...  How does that work with reporting the harassment?

    Thanks!
