on Tues 8/3 someone called with a very thick accent stating i had taken out a payday loan and had failed to repay my obligation.  and that the case was being turned over to an attorney.  He had my name address phone number.  He stated the date of this transaction was 10/10/2010 and the amount was for 250.00.  I explained repeatedly i HAVE NEVER taken out a payday loan with this company,  he continued to try to talk over me and would not allow me to finish a sentence without interrupting me and yelling at me, so i continued to yell back.  So today 8/5/2011 @ 337pm cst someone stating hes from an attorneys office and has my case file in front of him says that i have failed to repay my debt,  he too kept interrupting me and yelling at me i finally got him to shut up long enough for me to ask when this loan occurred and he tells me it was on 7/21/2011 in the amount of 250.00.  I told him i thought that was funny seeing how someone called me 2 days ago with a totally different date.  he continued to yell at me and stated that if i had a dispute i would have to get an attorney and take that up in court.  I said ok give me your address, he wanted to know why, I said i have to have an address to send the papers too.  he said I didnt need his address, and that he did not have to provide me with loan papers showing a signature or proof of any kind that i had received this loan.  I asked for the address again so my attorney could sent him papers and he hung up on me.  what a scam.  they cant even get their facts straight.

    Today 10/10/11 I received a phone call from someone names Roger who told me that he needed the name of my attorney to file the civil suit that was being filed in my name. I told him that I was not aware of any suit that was being filed therefore I have not retained an attorney, myself being a law student I would like to know what the case was regarding. He then informed me that I would have to contact the attorney at (951)489-0223 and his name was Ronnie Cooper. Meanwhile this is same number that showed up on my caller ID when the first man called me. So then he hung up on me and I proceed to call the number back and ask for Ronnie Cooper who spoke in the same deep Iranian voice that I could barely understand and he told me that there are two warrants for you arrest on for fraud check and another for failure to repay a cash advance loan, from Cash Advance America. I explained to the man that I did not receive and funds from any company I never applied for and loan. And he began yelling at me that I was trying to cheat and that I was going to jail and that he was  going to call my employer meanwhile I repeated that I am a law student that is all that I have time to do I don’t have an employer. The man also had my social and date of birth so I immediately contacted the local police to check for warrants for my arrest and of course nothing I then filed a police report making sure that I had a paper trail. After filing a report with the local police I filed a complaint with the FBI and the FTC for identity thrift. I then had to close my bank account and open another one this has been a big hassle but rest accrued that I this is happening to you that you will not go to jail but you do need to file all complaints that you can so that you have as big of a paper trail as possible. Just in case this should appear on your credit in the further you can dispute it will all of the information that you have collected as well as if they can catch this man we call file suits against him for identify theft. Hope that this helps someone else
    FBI contact Number: 1800-225-5324
    FCT contact number: 1877-438-4338
    And first and foe most the local non emergency police depart in your area

    Same thing happened to me today. Received call from work stating I owed $435 for load I took out on 7/16/2011. He had a bank acct #. Man told me he was from legal dept from Cash Advance America - his name: Ryan Wilson. He kept covering the mouth piece to ask someone in the background questions. I told him I needed all the information so I could research -- he gave me his phone number of 732-325-1207x101 and a mailing address to send the money 1050 Charter St, Piscetawey, NJ  80054.  He told me to call back tomorrow between 10a-6p/EST to discuss further. I am reporting to FTC, FBI & area police.

    I just got a call at work saying that I was going to be sued for money that I owe to Cash Advance America and if I didn't settle today they would get me fired from my job and i would go to jail for 6 months. He tried to get me to send him $610 on a greendot card ( which I found super suspect) He was basically trying to fast talk me and tried to scare me by mentioning all of these crazy things I would be charged with like check fraud and tax fraud.... It made absolutley no sense. He said his name was Andrew Johnson and that he was from Anderson Law Firm in Miami but the phone numbers he gave me were bogus. (7860 220-3387 & (786) 375-9110

    Too Smart
    786-375-9110  is a cell number and a phone scam.  Caller speaks with an Indian accent and alleges you are having computer problems and asks to have access to your computer.  He was very professional until accused of being a scammer at which time he flipped out and starting cursing and abruptly hung up.  Real companies don't behave this way.  Watch out for scammers, they are resourceful, convincing and prey on unknowing victims.  Don't be a victim.  Report such contacts to your local PD or FBI cyber units.

    Interesting, the number 786-375-9110 has gone from saying they are the Anderson Law firm to now saying they are from Microsoft. I just got a call from this number today and they claimed my computer was infected and that they needed to fix it. I knew about this scam so I hung up on the guy but he kept talking and yelling over me as I was telling him goodbye.

    They're probably phone spoofing, but I wish there was something we could do to get rid of these calls. And the fact that they have some people's SSN and other information is scary.
