The number he called from was 347-809-5419. They called stating I made a $300.00 loan couldn't tell me when. Individual name was Kevin Williams. Stated he worked for Bryan K Law firm,  Address given was 1390 Ave of the Americas in NY.  Never made a $300.00 payday loan. Was read a script and was told they would contact my employed and send a warrant for my arrest. They did have my address. . When I called back I got  ring no answer

    It's a scam..
    Numerous complaints that number is associated with shakedown scam calls.

      Advance America warns of use of their name by scammers.

    "Individual claimed he was an attorney stating that warrants were being issued for my arrest. "
    "told they would contact my employed and send a warrant for my arrest"
       Any real attorney could be disciplined or disbarred for such threats.
    "1390 Ave of the Americas in NY"
      Scammer just looked up some address on the internet that he thought might sound "American".  No "debt collector" is going to be operating out of a location next to Central Park in NYC (collecting on "$300"???).
    "reading a script"
      And he says he's an "attorney"?

I told them send me the paper work my lawyer would handle it they hung up. I called them back they would not talk to me, they said just to wait for the paper work,,, yeah right

      Just received a call stating a loan was deposited into my bank which I never received or requested and that now the cops have an arrest warrant out for me. The loan was for $300.00 but now I owe $5,000. I received the call from 347-632-1781. After reading all these comments I hung up! They should be arrested messing with people's lives like this!

      I just got a call from (646)480-2459. It got past RoboKiller. The man stated that he was Nick Johnson calling from Brian Keith Law Firm regarding a legal case. He told me that I took out a payday loan with AACA Advances (which owned many other payday loan companies so I would never have actually heard of them) and owed over $5k. After reading me the charges, he told me that I could pay $965 today, or I would be served papers and arrested after that hour. As I asked questions, knowing I never took a payday loan and the email he mentioned I no longer use, he told me I was getting smart and wouldn't help me. Then I asked a few calm clarifying questions, company name and his name. And I found this and many other sites. I told him what I was looking at and he told me that everyone who posted here was a fraud, like me. Then he told me I would see in an hour when they came to arrest me. I'll come add a reply if I get arrested.

      I just got the exact call from Nick Johnson claiming he works for the law firm representing AACA Advances. He's saying I'll be arrested within the hour as they're filing charges against me as we speak, unless I make a payment of $75 towards a past due loan of $5000. He didn't tell me exactly what the name of the loan company in which I took out the loan from. I absolutely have a couple past due loans that I've been trying to get handled (it's been a really bad year) but I've never taken out a loan of $1365. I have small plans taken out, never over $500 though.

      I got a call from Nick Johnson stating he works for AACA Advances. He stated I owe 1,165 and that if it goes through the court it will be 5,000 for legal fees. He told me I could make a payment through paypal,cashapp,or zelle. He said he could not send me any information until I make a payment of $200. He stated it was between 2021-2022. He stated I never heard of the company because they own many other payday companies. He stated anytime he calls me I must answer. There were two numbers 646-718-1032 and he said he would call or text me from his cell 646-948-5142.

        I just received the same exact message. I told him he was being recorded by the FBI and he could send my papers to whoever he wants.  He couldn't even speak good English.

        I just got a call from (646) 212-4717. It got past RoboKiller. The man stated that he was Nick Johnson calling from Bryan Kay Law Firm in New York regarding a legal case. He told me that I took out a payday loan with AACA Advances. When I asked him who that was he said it is a corporation which owned many other payday loan companies so I would never have actually heard of them, and owed over $1287.00 . After reading me the charges, he told me that I could pay $200 today, or I would be served papers and arrested immediately in that hour. As I tried to ask questions, trying to find out what he was talking about, what company is he saying that I took a loan with and why he couldn’t give me any information about a supposed loan (he said he didn’t have the information about what company it was with), he became angry with me and he told me I was getting rude and  he wouldn't help me.  I told him I’m not trying to be rude, I’m just trying to find out information and would like answers to my questions, like his company name and his name. He wanted me to send money by PayPal, Venmo or Zelle. I told him that I wouldn’t do that unless he could provide me with documentation of the information he had and information about his company. He said okay he gave me a chance and that I would see the information when they came to arrest me in an hour. I looked up the name AACA and that is when I found this and many other sites about AACA being a scam and it also listed the name Nick Johnson as an attorney with a law firm threatening arrest immediately unless receiving money immediately by PayPal or Venmo or something like that.

      Had this "company" call me and say that I was about to be arrested. I did have a loan out, and all the details matched the loan. Makes me wonder how they are getting the correct info in some cases.
