Country: United States
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!

I have been in contact with my local sheriffs department, bank, cell phone company, along with friends and family and everyone has advised me to ignore the calls.
I think it is time we all start banning together to harrass these people. as soon as they get on the phone start asking questions about them. THrow them off and it bothers them to the point that they will hang up. I called the guy back 4 times and every time after he hung up i would tell him it sounded like we had a bad connection. the last time he told me not to call him anymore. I think i got my point across. IF anything list the number they are having you call and i'm sure there are enough people out there willing to call and give them a hard time they will leave you alone

It's possible that these scammers hacked in to a credit bureau since the information they seem to have comes from a credit report: address, employer's name, bank info, and last 4 digits of SS#. It's a good idea as Nick wrote on March 7- request a fraud alert with the 3 credit bureaus and alert your bank. And, in the future, beware of taking payday loans!
Long story short after about five minutes of this back and forth and him threatening to come to my job and pick up my references and my boss he hung up and said God bless you LOL. Now I must admit that I was a little frazzled at first but it just so happens that I DO have a friend who is an attorney who works for a law firm that specializes in things like this for disenfranchised communities. I told her what happened and baiscally after she did some research and I did some research we came to the conclusion that Mr. Parker and his cohorts are a scam. DO NOT give or confirm ANY personal information for them. Evene if they seem to have much of your info correct. What they are trying to do is get you to send them a western union money order. This is an untraceable and irreversable method of sending of money!
Once I became aware of this I started calling back the number he left on my cell phone which was 646-378-2799 and just annoyed the CRAP out of him. It got to the point where he was putting other people on the phone. Every time one of them tried to speak I spoke over them and kept asking the smae questions over and over again. I would say really ignore things like is it true that you all smell like pee and garlic and that you eat dogs. I would ask over and over again "send me all that in writing!" or "What is the original creditor and account info?" and I would just repeat those same phrases over and over again every time they tried to speak. i had this one girl so frustrated I think she started crying and then hung up on. And when I called back she said "Ma'am? WHAT is your problem?" LOL it was so funny. I was harrassing these jerks to the point where I actually got one to admit that it was a scam and this is what he does for a living! But of course he would not give me any real info that they could be tracked by.
I did all this on my lunch break because I wanted them to think long and hard before they called me again! But again this IS a scam!!!!! Do not give them your info (even though they already have it) and DO NOT send them money. Besides annoy you there is NOTHING they can do to you and once you become aware of that you can call them back and annoy the HECK out of them and there is nothing they can do about it! I was cussing people out left and right, calling back and hanging up, carrying on frivilous conversations with them and wasnt a dang thing they could do about it but take it and block my number when I tried calling again.
I would say report them but there is nothing really law enforcement can do so I just turn the tables on them as best I can and I kind of enjoyed it. How often do you get to say whatever the heck you want to say to people and not have any consequences. It was quite stress relieving. The only thing I will say though that I was stupid and gave my work number on a payday loan app. (i was stupid to do the payday loan in the first place but I needed money quickly so whatev) but what I was able to do (and some folks dont have this option) was give them a direct extension so only I answer. So for all intents and purposes no one else at works even has to know this is going on however if you dont have this option I am sure they might try getting to a supervisor if you DID happen to give them a real number; which I will never do again.
So all in all dont worry friend, these suckers can't really touch you unless you SEND them money. Even if they have your bank account number they are probably reluctant to remove it from there because then there is the possibility that you can have it traced, so even if they threatened to have the funds just removed from your account don't fret they are just blowing steam, however I would suggest changing your checking account and debit card numbers and also letting any references that they may have on file for you know what is going on so if they call them they can tell these frauds to kiss their a**. Just in case.
IM JUST TURNING 18 THEN THIS SCAMMERS WAS SO IRRITATING!!

America. And the funny thing when I looked up Cash Partners of America it is the same address as LLC 3 Court Street in Auburn, NY. The number they called me from was 347-283-3124. His name is Sam Parker and Sean Davis. Very thick accents. They told me that they are going to file charges tomorrow at 11am. They had my entire social, my bank account everything. When he told me the account the loan went into to I said that is my current account. Mind you I have never been overdrawn and I had my accounty for over 5 years. They will not tell me when this loan was taken out. But if it was it and the money wasn't there I would have had a returned charged. I didn't. Or the money would have been removed. It wasn't. It was never deposited! I don't know what to do. I don't want them to harrass me anymore.
he told me i was being sued and i could go to jail. i never took out a loan from them big scam they called them selfs national payday
